Typing JumpjetAccel instead will make the JumpJet unit never land in a similar fashion to {{f|BalloonHover|link}}. As a result, {{f|AG|link}}-only weapons won't target the unit. Only those with {{f|AA|link}}=yes.
Defines the acceleration and deceleration of this unit when flying using the Jumpjet locomotor. The deceleration is calculated by {{f|JumpjetAccel}} {{tt|* 1.5}}.
The unit will attempt to land, but never do so, but hovers in the air a short distance away from the ground.


In theory, mis-casing it can be used as a 'fix' for the problem with BallonHover-ers always willing to occupy the same cell as the target.
This tag should be used with caution, as it can render Landable=yes units unable to actually land, due to the deceleration math never reaching exactly zero, and the unit will remain hovering at full (animation) speed without ever transitioning to idle speed.

Defines the acceleration and deceleration of this unit when flying using the Jumpjet locomotor. The deceleration is calculated by JumpjetAccel * 1.5.

This tag should be used with caution, as it can render Landable=yes units unable to actually land, due to the deceleration math never reaching exactly zero, and the unit will remain hovering at full (animation) speed without ever transitioning to idle speed.
