Hi All

 

Returning to HCE after a considerable abscence and trying to remember how most of it all works. In putting together user made scenario I've been trying to place a generic airbase but when you create the base it doesn't seem to appear on the map. Experimenting a little I found the same problem with all the non geographic bases. Analysing the scenario showed they were listed as being present but invisible it would seem ...is this a glitch or am I missing a step someplace?

 

On an unrelated topic, do shipborne decoys have any effect in game ....they seem to have numerical loadouts but I've yet to see any deployed.

Welcome back!

 

In putting together user made scenario I've been trying to place a generic airbase but when you create the base it doesn't seem to appear on the map.

In all likelihood the generic airbases you're creating are there, but appear off the map due to their geographic coordinates. Just select them (use your Backspace or Spacebar to cycle through created units) like you would a ship group, and put them where you want.

They don't deploy like weapons, but are taken into account when the host platform comes under attack (i.e. reducing the attacking weapon's hit probability).
