good morning / afternoon / evening!
A question / clarification on the anti-air timer - would appreciate your feedback.
So, the wiki says that 'anti air units share a global timer', and in our team we seem to have different understandings of that rule.
Could you confirm the below:
1. all anti-air shares the same timer (yes/no)
2. if you have a stack which includes both MAA and SAMs, if a plane approaches (when the timer ticks) the SAM will fire. If at that time the plane is in the range of the MAA as well, the MAA will fire, if not it won't until the next timer (yes/no);
3. point 2. above does not change at all if you have two different stacks, one with SAMs and one with MAAs. no matter where they are on the map, if one is in China and the other is in brazil, they still share the same timer (yes / no);
now, next level:
4. does the same apply to ships? if a plane triggers a SAM timer in berlin, the stack of frigates around australia, the MAAs in argentina, the (AA of) railguns in China and the TDS in California (all of the same nation, yes this nation is all over the world ) share the same timer? i.e. the concept applies to ALL anti-air, independently of the unit?
So, if that is true, i could send a plane to trigger a SAM stack in Italy, to attack-heli a stack of MAAs in China?
I believe the answer to all of the above (at least until 4) is yes, but am ready to stand corrected and be educated.
Thanks in advance!
