Quick air combat

[SonnyBowler]

I have an idea (a request really) for a MOD. I don't know the 1st thing about making a mod or I would give it a go myself, and I apologize if this should be posted elsewhere; I'm not at all active on here. This seems like it would be easy peasy for one of you Mod Wizards.

I've begun playing the game with quick-combat solely because of the lengthy AIR attacks late game. On big maps and high difficulty it takes forever for the turns to go by, as you all well know.

So how about a mod that makes just the air combat quick? Or like a really sped up animation of the non quick-combat animation. Except nukes of course.

Moderator Action: Moved to the main forum.
Because the tutorials subforum is only for tutorials, not for questions .

Thanks.

The Unofficial Patch [used to do] this, as does my Ethnic Diversity mod. It's not super-quick, just no longer tedious.

EDIT: In case you (or someone else) wants to tweak these values for themselves, the code is in Civ5ArtDefines_UnitMembers.xml (which unfortunately means it will conflict with mods that add units). Here are the default values, and those for CiVUP (which I've "stolen" for my mod).

Bombers (and B-17's):
<fTurnRateMin> default: 0.10 CiVUP: 0.5
<fTurnRateMax> default: 0.25 CiVUP: 1.0
<fMoveRate> default: 1.2 CiVUP: 5
<fVisKillStrengthMin> default: 15.0 CiVUP: 50.0
<fVisKillStrengthMax> default: 25.0 CiVUP: 100.0
<fProjectileSpeed> default: 0.9 CiVUP: 3

Fighters (and Zeros):
<fTurnRateMin> default: 0.25 CiVUP: 0.5
<fTurnRateMax> default: 0.5 CiVUP: 1.5
<fMoveRate> default: 1.6 CiVUP: 5

Guided Missiles:
<fTurnRateMin> default: 0.5 CiVUP: 1
<fTurnRateMax> default: 1.5 CiVUP: 3
<fMoveRate> default: 3.6 CiVUP: 7
