EliteAbilities=CLOAK works on Aircraft in TS

EliteAbilities=CLOAK works on Aircraft in TS. This may be already common knowledge here, just mentioning it in case it ain't. Building a hero unit is impossible isn't it? I tried the Rate of fire Ability but couldn't notice an increased RoF so I guess that one doesn't.

Aircraft have some special hardcoded restrictions.
-no secondary weapon possible
-primary weapon ROF is bound to the shuffle delay. Primary shoots always 2 times during each shuffle. 5 shots in an overrun attack. Thus ROF bonus doesn't work.
-SPEED crate bonus doesn't work.
-no deploy logic (and several other special abilities)

Yes, CLOAK bonus is known to work on aircraft. See TI banshee bomber. Wink

one more thing, if u set CurleyShuffle=no any shuffle attack will no longer consume ammo unless the aircraft repositions.

i think thats why orca fighter does overrun attack in TI. :/

Well, not just EliteAbilites. Like LKO said, it works when it's granted as a bonus ability. VeteranAbilities=CLOAK also gives them the Cloaking ability without needing them to reach Elite status. That's what I currently use for my personal mod.
