	~~Several factors affect the evac delay of the Skyranger including infiltration level.~~

	~~'''Base Delay'''~~		After calling for Evac, the Skyranger will not arrive immediately. Instead, the soldier will throw an Evac flare at the selected zone, and it will take a number of turns before the Evac zone is fully active:
	* ~~Rookie~~: ~~1 turn~~		* Each difficulty has a base Evac Delay turns associated:

	'''Squad Size'''		\|}
	* 1-~~3 soldiers: -1 turn~~		* Having a large amount of soldiers in the squad will increase Evac Delay turns:
	* 4-~~7 soldiers: no change~~		{\|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center"

			\|}
	'''Infiltration'''		* The infiltration value of the squad at the moment of starting the mission will either increase or decrease Evac Delay turns:
	* 0~~-29~~%~~: +3 turns~~		{\|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center"
	* 30~~-59~~%~~: +2 turns~~		\| '''Infiltration Value''' \|\| 0% \|\| 30% \|\| 60% \|\| 100% \|\| 150% \|\| 200%

	* 150~~-199~~%~~: -1 turn~~		\|}
	* 200%: -~~2 turns~~		* If there are 7 or more missions being infiltrated (including the one being launched) the Evac Delay will increase by 1 turn.
			* If the commanding [[Officers_(LW2)\|officer]] of the squad has [[Perk_List_(LW2)#Air_Controller\|Air Controller] the Evac Delay will decrease by 2 turns.
	'''~~Active Infiltrations~~'''		* Redeploying the Evac flare after having already called for Evac will increase the Evac Delay by 2 turns.
			* Evac Delay cannot be lower than 1 turn or higher than 10 turns.
	* 7 or more ~~infiltration~~ missions including the ~~current mission: +~~1 turn.

Detection Range

← Older revision		Revision as of 22:06, 6 February 2017
Line 123:		Line 123:
	== Detection Range ==		== Detection Range ==

	''~~To do.~~''		The radius at which enemies can detect you in concealment is called the Detection Range, and this scales based on a variety of factors.

			'''Infiltration level'''

			At baseline 100% infiltration, enemies will have their normal detection range. At infiltration rates below 100%, the enemy will have between between x1 and x1.25 of normal detection radius (i.e up to 1/4th more); conversely, at infiltration rates above 100%, the enemy will have between x1 and x0.8334 of normal detection radius (i.e. up to 1/6th less). The effect scales linearly; for example, at 50% Infiltration, enemy detection range gets a 1/8 bonus (half the maximum bonus of 1/4).

			* <100% Infiltration: Base * [1 + ((100% - Infil%) x 1/4)]
			* >100% Infiltration: Base * [1 - ((Infil% - 100%) x 1/6)]
