minor quibble with helos

[codman]

Is there a way to prevent your helicopters from forgetting that you've set their range to 1? It appears that the little rascals don't always remember and waste all their ammo at longer ranges. It mainly seems to happen when I re-enter a saved game but everynow and then it happens in mid game. I suspect that I can disable their weapons till I need them but I thought I'd ask in case it is something that might need a future tweak.

Thanks in advance

Has anything on the enemy side fired at them in the meantime? - your range will be set to the range you were fired upon. (Otherwise, units which had the range screwed down would simply sit there in "stupid mode" if an enemy unit decided to have a pop at them).

Ah ha, that's it! Didn't realize they felt the need to hit back...

Thanks Andy
