Question about the range of missiles.

Post by YaYo7 »

My ships(any units) are attacking with missiles visible targets no farther than 128-144km(8-9hex). It does not matter the missile with a range 500, 300 or 150km.
In Game. There is some limit on the range of missiles with DM control? And extends it to AI too?

Yes there is an engine coded limit for auto targeting for performance reasons. I asked about it ages ago and George replied to me about it, I think its 200km if I recall but i'd have to find the other thread for it.

Very sad that there is a limit for auto targeting. Maybe there is a small chance that the developer will consider the possibility of setting a limit optionally.

Example:
Game settings

Fog of war
Enhanced Spotting
Enhanced Ranges
Max Missile range - off/on

I think with say ship missiles it is unlikely to be an issue anyway because the spotting range of most ships is less than the missiles range most the time

I know you could have other says a unit 300km away spotted by say a plane or another boat but on the hole I don't see it is much of an issue.

While it remains to use manual control and conduct long-range missile firing, which is not always convenient and takes more time(Constantly give the order= Missile fire then Clear order.)
