The Air Force Command Headquarters is an important Allied structure which allows them to use fighter jets and bombers to provide air support, radar map and satellite scans to survey the battlefield.
Official description[]
The Air Force Command Headquarters not only provides a commander with the radar mini-map, but also allows a commander to build and house up to 4 Allied aircraft. The Air Force Command Headquarters enables more advanced technology as well. This structure allows the commander to use a Satellite Scan to reveal shrouded parts of the battlefields[sic]. The more Air Force Command Headquarters a commander has on the field, the faster aircraft are built.[1]

AI behavior[]
If Mental AI Boost is enabled, the AI will build a certain amount of Air Force Command Headquarters, depending on the difficulty (1 max for Easy, 2 max for Normal and Hard).
Unlike human players, AI strike forces that include Tier 2 subfaction-exclusive vehicles requires an Air Force Command Headquarters instead of their respective subfaction tech expansion building. For instance, a European Alliance AI can build Mirage Tanks with an Air Force Command Headquarters present instead of a Shield Command.
Appearances[]
Act One[]
- In Eagle Fly Free, the Soviet forces captured the Air Force Academy Chapel and an Air Force Command HQ nearby. It only unlocks Rocketeer and Stallion Transport in this mission and is not buildable.
- Air Force Command HQ becomes buildable in Heaven and Hell.
- In Happy Birthday, destroying enemy Air Force Command HQ is one of the mission objectives.
- In Singularity, an Air Force Command HQ is one of the targets that needs to be destroyed, but only on Mental difficulty.
Behind the scenes[]
The artwork of the Air Force Command Headquarters is a public asset and can be used by other modders. The link can be found here.
Trivia[]
- The original structure from Red Alert 2 used four landing pads for VTOL Harriers and Black Eagles. In Mental Omega 3.0, this was changed to a runway to accommodate jets with standard landing/lift off methods like the Stormchild.
