Planes

what up with planes?

Planes go up because that is what they are engineered to do. Otherwise they are useless.

 

[moysturfurmer]

No I mean how they work in Civ VI? I know you can move them to w/e tile & that's why they have a range of 3 but don't they also have an attack range value what up with that?

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

They still have a base, but fighters can be set to patrol a designated territory within the set range, which is what you saw when you thought they were moving on the map.

And what's the deal with airline food? Amiright?

The dryness and the low pressure of the cabin dulls your taste buds by like 20 percent. Also used to be that they would heat meals up by blowing hot air on them so they'd come out really dry. Now they have these steaming appliances.

but you can't deny they are also engineered to go down just as often, can you? it's nearly rocket science, after all.

Is there any effect to them "patrolling" that territory, that wouldn't be there if they were on 'intercept'.

this seemed to confuse the streamer too. Apparently you have to patrol in order to intercept.

So are they patrolling the entire area every turn (they can intercept anything within 3 tiles of where they are based) OR are they only able to intercept near where they are on this turn. (maybe 3 tiles of where they are this turn so they can actually intercept 6 tiles from where they are based)

It appears that you designate a tile within range of the unit's base to patrol and it intercepts any enemy air unit that performs an action within 1 tile of the designated patrol tile.

interesting (is there a 1upt limit?..only one patrolling unit per tile?)

The streamer (Filthy, iirc) didn't test that. He did have the civilopedia window open. I just wish I could remember which game it was.

Do you happen to have a link to that episode? I'd like to see the graphics for airplanes in action.

Hopefully you can somehow escort Bombers with Fighters. That will make the P-51 actually make sense, mechanically as well as theme wise. P-51 has extra range and bonus against fighters(plus xp bonus). The bonus against fighter is pretty useless otherwise and matches with history.(The p-51's claim to fame was that it finally allowed escorted bomber missions all the way rather than just half-way, allowing the Germans to just ambush them after the fighters went home. ) Allowing Bombers to be able strike at targets within areas protected by fighters would be pretty cool. Obviously generic fighters on escort would limit the operative range of Bombers but the p-51 has extra range.. giving it a real advantage.

 

[Jabulani]

How bombers and stealth bombers work ? Like civ v or differently ?

I am mainly referring to Stealth Bombers behaviour

Thx

 

[moysturfurmer]

There are no Stealth bombers in VI. They're jet Bombers. As far as I can tell they function the same way as in. V.

Ouch..so the well of souls is really outdated ( at least unit pictures ) Do you perhaps know about a web site which have the most up to date collection of civ vi units pictures and description ? Thx

No. There's civilization wiki, there's offline pdf hereon forum, but both may have mistakes. The best is to look through Marbozir's tech and policy tree videos, but that's significant amount of time.
