Bug Description
I am testing 0.2 and I found these clear bugs about Boris's weapons and other:
1- Boris's Airstrike calls always for the aircraft first listed, even if elite. For example, here:
;How many planes to call in
AirstrikeTeam=1;
EliteAirstrikeT
;What type of planes to call in
AirstrikeTeamTy
EliteAirstrikeT
;How long after the planes either leave the map or are destroyed will the next team of planes be ready?
AirstrikeRechar
EliteAirstrikeR
He will only call for the BPLN, even if he is elite, and never the MOSKA
2- Boris's planes level up instead of him, when he uses them:
If a BPLN or other spawned aircraft type destroys a building or other unit, the XP will go to that one-time aircraft, and not to boris. This is specially a pain in the ass since:
* It makes him much harder to level up
* The XP in the aircraft, after is has already attacked and is going to leave the map to never come back, is useless.
* The aircraft, no matter what it kills, will go instantly elite because it normally has a cost of zero.
3- For the final thing I have seen: I have made a "Guerrillero" unit for Cuba. They are stealth infantry. They use a machinegun, but they gain a C4 "weapon" when Veteran. However, it does not work. When asked to attack a structure (with the C4 icon), if Veteran or Elite, all of them will just go by it's side. This worked fine without Ares.
Cloakable=yes
CloakingSpeed=1
VeteranAbilitie
EliteAbilities=
Can these be fixed?
I don't think it should be so complicated since they worked on the vanilla RA2: YR ...
Anyways, thanks for the time and any answer.

Which version are you using? I was using the latest 0.2 Fatman binary.
1) I cannot reproduce this. I changed Boris to send Harriers when elite, and when he was elite, Harriers were sent. Is EliteAirstrikeT eam=2 respected? If yes, is EliteAirstrikeT eamType maybe defined twice?
2) Ares supports a new tag called Experience. FromAirstrike= , so you can enable this already. Use Experience. AirstrikeModifi er= to customize this even further. See the manual for a description.
3) I can reproduce this behavior, but http:// modenc. renegadeproject s.com/VeteranAb ilities says this: C4 promotional bonus only works properly in Tiberian Sun and Firestorm. In Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge the unit will have a C4 cursor for buildings, and even try to run up to them when commanded to plant a C4 charge. However the C4 effect will not activate and the unit will simply fire at the building with its weapon.
