Ideally I'd have a sample aircraft sent to each airstrip as it's completed so I can check the next is within range before building it, but who has that kind of time during a full-scale invasion?
      When you're in the desktop app (as opposed to mobile), and you already have the sample aircraft available, you can do that by clicking the sample, click move, and then hold the mouse over the place where you're considering an air strip. The interspaced circle at the destination will show you the range from a (potential, not-yet-existing) air base in that province.
      When the fake daddies are curtailed, we have failed. When their roller coaster tolerance is obliterated, their education funds are taken by Kazakhstani phishers, and their candy bars distributed between the Botswana youth gangs, we have succeeded.

      As well as this, @cycle9 you claim this has been suggested many times but I can't find anything like it, could you give me some examples?
      Yes the feature was suggested many times, but it has been a few years indeed. I'm really too lazy to go look for the particular threads, using alternative phrasing in your searches might help.

      I wasn't aware you could do that. Thanks!

      Pan-Asian is a better doctrine than Axis when played correctly and you cannot change my mind.

    • Ditto, but I've been neglecting the game-related threads lately. I don't give much weight to that Cycle guy as I don't know him, but if Roko and Python both say it's been mentioned before I'm happy to take their words for it.

      Bro what-
      I'm pretty sure either Donk or someone else mentioned it, maybe you weren't active back then.

      Cycle's been there for a while, at least as long as me I think. And yea, this topic has been mentioned before, but not as much as hospitals tho ^^
      Have an amazing rest of your day ^^

    • You can calculate distances. Just multiply speed of the unit with time and see if their is any consistency. If there is any, you would get a good approximate for distances in this game.

      Lets say a unit takes 2 hour to travel from austin to dallas, and its speed is 40, then you get 80 unit distance.

    • I mean, I guess that would work, but I can't be the only person too lazy to want to do that.

      Yes, I am well aware that Bytro adding this would be more effort than my doing the maths. Although even that depends on how many people need to do this in how many of their games.

      But this doesn't allow you to measure remote areas, plus, the distances don't appear to be too consistent.
