UnitTypes
UnitType is the parent class of the mobile objects in the game - Infantry, Vehicles, and Aircraft. This class derives from TechnoType, but again, no object of this class is ever created.
VehicleTypes are the [land-based] vehicles and, in Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, the naval vehicles and some aircraft.
InfantryTypes are the infantry (soldiers) and animals.
AircraftTypes are the true aircraft objects.
The term 'unit' can refer to any of the above UnitTypes, although the term is usually not applied to InfantryTypes and is often used to refer solely to VehicleTypes.
Applicable INI Flags
These tables show all INI flags applicable1 to UnitTypes. The flags are grouped by the internal classes the flags are inherited from, and then listed in the order they are read in by the game. You can re-sort the rows by column values by clicking the arrow icons in the column headings. Each flag can be clicked to visit its page for detailed information.
Please note that this section is accurate only for Yuri's Revenge. All other C&C games use different sets of flags.
1 ↑ "Applicable" in this context means "read from the INI files". Certain flags listed here don't have any effect ingame , but they are read and in certain cases cause a crash if not present. Again, refer to each flag's individual page for detailed information.
