Air Combat
Added a fighter interception system
Added a squadron waypoint
Added a new dogfight algorithm
The new air combat features the following:
-A combat system based on cruise speed, maneuverability, firepower, and altitude
-Aircraft with a cruise speed advantage will have an advantage at the start of a dogfight.
-Aircraft with high maneuverability will gain an advantage as engagements lengthen and altitude decreases.
-Fighters utilize an independent ammunition system.
-A dogfight disengagement system, but the aircraft that actively disengages will take damage before completing the disengagement. If conditions permit, disengaging aircraft will trade altitude for speed.
-Aerial combat altitude will automatically decrease during engagements.
