[V6.25.0 - Geoscape] Wrong range for the Aircraft in the Aircraft Screen and Xenopedia entry

[st3fan21]

I just saw that the ranges for all aircraft in Xenonauts 2 are wrongly stated.

If you just compare them to the radar maximum range with 3 Quantum Arrays then you can see this clearly.

 

The ranges of the aircraft should be much bigger, because they clearly can go much further than radar range and come back so at least double the max radar range (8700 km x 2 = 17400 km)

In the first Xenonauts the first dropship had a range of 52800 km and it probably should be the same here but it is just stated wrong in the xenopedia entry.

If the phantom really had only 5250 km range it should not be able to reach a base max radar range, but it can go all the way to other continents so...

Thanks, will bring this up with the rest of the team

Yeah, you're right. These numbers are totally broken. We'll get that fixed in Milestone 7.
