[V1.05 HF - Air Combat] Plane attacks different target

[k_z]

Recently I was intercepting some UFOs. New and bigger UFO appeared, so I was changing plane targets to resolve the situation. My fighter in the end was, attacking on different UFO, than his mark was present on the Geoscape.

At the screenshot - the dialog states that Foxtrot-1 intercepted fighter Ufo-21 (0% Victory). The Geoscape shows completely different thing. Ufo-21 (Fighter - smaller triangle) is without a single fighter interceptor. Ufo-20 (top - bigger signal is followed by Condor-1 (clearly visible) and also Foxtrot-1 (Overlayed by Condor-1 text but still recognizable).

I might be missing something but it looks like you where about to intercept UFO 21, a scout or corvette, when UFO 20, a fighter flying an air superiority mission, intercepted you instead.

I have noticed that alien fighters seem to engage from much further away in geo-scape view then your ships do, but did not think it mattered.

It might be useful if nothing else to change the engage dialog from "Foxtrot 1 engages UFO 21" to "UFO 21 intercepts Foxtrot 1" to clarify the difference.

Yeah, the fighter will be attacking you there. The aliens aren't totally passive on the Geoscape

Thanks for explanation, it makes sense now. It was a little bit confusing for me that Im under attack, but fighter and ufo are quite far away (well... experience from other ufo games). After understanding it correctly it is actually a quite nice feature :-)

Btw, good work -- Xenonauts is a really great game, that I enjoy playing.
