Aren't supcom units described as single gigantic molecules that double as analog computers and many other thing and the HP a measure of how much energy it's required to break the atomic bonds of the unit thus the purely binary "fully alive" vs "fully dead" conditions?

And this talk of subsystems is making me want to play Aurora again. Well, reinstalling FAF can wait another month, or six.

That is not the problem, Dead scouts scouting makes no sense, but noob players usually dont scout or scout bad, so if you put things harder for them, they will start complaining.
In a ideal world, scouts dont scout when they are dead and players dont send scouts through areas with AA.

Exactly the opposite. In the real world combat units (and especially robotic ones) don't function simply based on the distinction of being alive or dead. As a unit takes damage it's ability to function can become impaired in a variety of ways. Until such time as it is completely destroyed. The model of a unit maintaining full functionality in FA is unrealistic - as a proper simulation would have multiple internal hitboxes, to represent the vulnerable systems. As those systems are hit the become inoperable. With rules governing how and when the external hitbox can be penetrated.

The reality with robotic aircraft, unlike manned ones, may be that the surveillance package could very well be transmitting right up to the time of impact. But if this were the case, the defenders would likely continue shooting at the falling wreck until the transmission stops.

I wonder if it's possible to make all spy planes blow up in mid air. Before FAF, air units had a chance of just blowing up completely. Crash spying is kinda lame. I would like it removed if possible.

It would allow players with strong AA and air power to hide their units/bases better. It may indirectly *gags* buff Cybran. LOL.

Are they supposed to give intel when they are dead flying through the air? I see the same with building UEF Frigates' jamming already active before they roll out the navy factory...

Dead scouts still scouting

Hi everyone,

I noticed in a game that a scout which i had shot down was still scouting and revealing my buildings to the enemy as the wreckage was flying through the air.

Is this supposed to be like this?

Ps the scout was revealing the buildings but did not have direct vision, seems the radar or the plane might still have been working as the wreckage was melting through the air.

KR,
Evildrew
