Generals:Air Field
From Command and Conquer Wiki
With most aircraft requiring a place to repair, refuel and reload the need for Air Fields was apparent. The American Air Field could manufacture a large selection of aircraft for specific purposes, but this made it take up much more ground space then China's counterpart. Up to four aeroplanes could be built and maintained per Air Field; however, since helicopters did not require an Air Field to re-arm a commander could build as many of these as his funds and whims permitted. The GLA did not build Air Fields on the battlefield, as they possessed very few aircraft.
[edit] Aircraft constructed at the Air Field
USA
- Raptor (or King Raptor for General Granger)
- Stealth Fighter (required promotion, except for General Granger)
- Aurora (or Aurora Alpha for General Alexander) (required Strategy Center)
- Comanche
The American Air Field provided the following upgrades:
- Laser-Guided Missiles - Improved the accuracy of the Raptor's and Stealth Fighter's missiles, and thus generally increased the damage done.
- Countermeasures - In the latter stages of the conflict all USA aircraft were able to be upgraded with Countermeasures, improving their chance against enemy anti-aircraft units (in particular missiles).
- Rocket Pods- upgrades all Comanches with rocket pods, which are devastating to groups of units.
- Bunker Busters - Made available to Stealth Fighters later in the conflict, following the vast deployment of GLA Tunnel Networks. Bunker Busters were not only capable of eliminating infantry garrisoned in buildings, but also clearing out Tunnel Networks.
- Stealth Comanches -General Granger only Allowed Comanches to be stealthed when not attacking.
China
- MiG
- Helix (or Assault Helix for General Fai)
The Chinese Air Field also provided the MiG Armor Upgrade, increasing the armor of MiGs.
