Air Superiority(arcade)

[Ghadaro]

Does anybody know what determines capture on Air superiority and what the hidden victory condition is?

So far I've been in 4 air superiority battles all of which I've been on the losing team and so far its not making sense.

My first battle we had 10 aircraft within region A, the enemy had 4 aircraft in region A, despite us having more than double their numbers in the capture zone the enemy captured the zone.

My second battle we lost due to lack of planes so that was fair enough.

Third battle after I would guess around 10-15 minutes (I should have checked the time in results really) both teams had over half their players still in the fight, nobody had captured the zone and both teams had full tickets when it suddenly awarded the other team victory. This is what I mean by "the hidden victory condition".

Fourth battle while both teams had over 10 planes flying within the capture region the enemy captured the point so again there was no logic as to why it had decided they had air superiority on the zone.

The capture zone has altitude limits as well, and sits between about 700m and 4700m. Anyone below or above this doesn't contribute anything to the capture or defense, so you can have as many people in the "zone" on the map, but they're useless when they're pruning trees or AFK'ing up high.

Thanks Tankfriend

For them to capture on the first battle the higher ceiling for capture must have been an absolute maximum of 3000 though so maybe that value changes depending on the battles effective BR or possibly the area is a bubble (higher at the center).

Its certainly helpful to know that altitude is taken into account. Do you know whether anything like proximity to center, aircraft type, aircraft BR etc affects it and how much of an advantage you roughly require before capping starts?

All you need to capture the zone in Air Dom. is to have someone from your team within the zone and no enemies within the zone long enough for the capture to happen(takes a few seconds)
These games can time out resulting in a loss for both teams if the ticket counter hasnt run out by then.
