So if I add a real value, it uses that instead.

In the zon file, are the diesels themselves in a node someplace? I can see them (various zones) with S3D, but they are not labeled.

I think if we could make the diesels vulnerable to destruction to weapons with AP, but NOT to weapons without AP, we'd be in good shape. A close DC might still take them out, but if a DC goes off in contact, you should probably be dead anyway. That would be a "mission kill" and I'd be fine with that.

I just hate the fact that it's common in DC attacks to lose just 2 engines and it's career ending.

Honestly, the batteries charging on the surface with the diesels destroyed in the early game versions was more realistic in many ways since the game doesn't even have the aux engine. The chances that they couldn't get ONE of 5 working enough to charge batteries seems pretty unlikely, and right now it's a career ender.
