Area effect weapons can't damage air targets

[Mustafa Alperen SEKİ]

Area effect weapons like Psi wave or Sonic weapons can't damage air units. It blocks me to add sonic AA weapon to Chitzkoi.

This is working as intended and not a bug. No weapon that fires at a ground target is able to damage flying targets.

I mean when its projectile is AA=yes.

If you want a projectile affect air, then detonate it in air. See http://modenc.renegadeprojects.com/CellSpread#Reality

By using ProjectileRange=0 and Ranged with a dummy SHP projectile, you can make fake areafire weapons which *can* affect air.

Either way, there is no bug here. AA=yes doesn't matter if you use AreaFire=yes.

16.71.1311, seems to works fine, but only as far as damage is concerned (and damage-based effects, like Psychedelic=yes). Ares effects (EMP, AE, etc) are still always applied to air objects, no matter what threshold is set.

Don't know if this is part of this blueprint, though, since i believe those are being applied in a different way.
