Influence area inside another

[II./JG1_Kadin]

What happens if you activate an opposing Influence area INSIDE an existing influence area.  Does the later override the previous? Do they Neutralize each other?

[Urra]

No. You are just layering one on top of another. It depends on how you connect them together. But you can activate the one area on /off/ on to reset it with the activate/deactivate commands to read the same area multiple times. Hope this helps. Edit: Jim is right, I thought you were asking about checkzones.

Last time I checked, influence areas did not work properly. Are they working now?

[II./JG1_Kadin]

Thank you.

The only evidence I have that they work is when a pilot lands or ditches in the opposite influenced area and gets "captured".  I want to create a "Capture Airfield" situation and I need to activate a friendly "influence area" within the enemy bigger influence area with enemy losing influence only around the captured airfield.

I am sure there is a way...resource economical way that is

[Urra]

That's a very good idea, but even if the influence area worked I'm not sure it would be an easy task.

[II./JG1_Kadin]

So far a taxing idea would be to have two for the enemy. One regular and one with somehow a hole and deactivate/activate when needed, as you said.  Not sure about the resources needed to have an inactive second influence area.  I have found out that inactivity still requires some recourses.
