Air Battle Dice

[beelee]

Probably on here somewhere already but would be nice to tweak air battle dice the way you can AA.

[alkexr]

Well, you can use something like

<option name="targetsAA" value="fighter:advanced_fighter"/>
<option name="typeAA" value="air_battle"/>
<option name="attackAA" value="2"/>
<option name="offensiveAttackAA" value="2"/>
<option name="isAAforCombatOnly" value="true"/>
<option name="mayOverStackAA" value="true"/>
<option name="damageableAA" value="true"/>
<option name="maxAAattacks" value="1"/>
<option name="maxRoundsAA" value="1"/>

instead of air attack and defense. Only works if air battles last 1 round only.

Thanks alkexr

The AA thing really allows one to do a lot. Remember thinking of this before, only in a air to ground role. Should totally work though. : ) I'm gonna go ahead and type some more : )

Was hoping for the '"plug number in" program : )

<option name="attackAAmaxDieSides" value="10"/>

heh heh

@alkexr unfortunately this isn't quit what I want to do. I have a bmbr that is attack 0 for combat. It's for SBR only. 1 in 6 air battle is too strong which is why it would be cool to have a larger dice option.

When I use the AA thingy to make it weaker, it seems that will only work in reg combat.

Thinking it's probably not possible or am I misunderstanding ?

@beelee The code I provided will only work in battle. According to POS2 xml:

isAAforCombatOnly values: allows this unit to be an AA gun for normal combat only. it will not defend against strategic bombing raids.
isAAforBombingThisUnitOnly values: allows this unit to be an AA gun only when this unit is directly attacked by a strategic bombing raid (currently defends against all strategic bombing attacks in this territory, not just against this unit). it will not defend against a normal attack.
isAAforFlyOverOnly values: allows this unit to be an AA gun only when being flown over. if the air unit moves into this territory and stays, then this will not fire.

So I suppose if you set the confusingly named <option name="isAAforBombingThisUnitOnly" value="true"/> and <option name="isAAforCombatOnly" value="false"/>, then it will only work for SBR. If you set both to true, then it will fire both in regular combat and bombing.

@alkexr Hey cool ! I'll give it a shot Thanks : )

[beelee]

@beelee well still no luck. This is what I currently have:

<option name="movement" value="6"/>
<option name="isAir" value="true"/>
<option name="attack" value="0"/>
<option name="defense" value="0"/>
<option name="isStrategicBomber" value="true"/>
<option name="isInfrastructure" value="true"/>
<option name="bombingMaxDieSides" value="6"/>
<option name="canBeGivenByTerritoryTo" value="British"/>
<option name="canAirBattle" value="false"/>
<option name="isAAforCombatOnly" value="false"/>
<option name="mayOverStackAA" value="true"/>
<option name="offensiveAttackAA" value="1"/>
<option name="attackAA" value="1"/>
<
option name="offensiveAttackAAmaxDieSides" value="24"/>
<option name="targetsAA" value="fighter"/>
<option name="isAAforBombingThisUnitOnly" value="true"/>
<option name="typeAA" value="Bomber Air Battle Defense"/>
<option name="maxAAattacks" value="1"/>
<option name="maxRoundsAA" value="1"/>
<option name="destroyedWhenCapturedBy" value="Germans:Russians:Americans:British:Canada:UK_Pacific:French:Italians:Japanese:Chinese:ANZAC:French:Dutch"/>

I'm thinking it's not possible unless I'm missing something. Just reread POS2 and it seems that it would only work in a defensive role.
