According to the TAIC (Technical Air Intelligence Center) manual the Mavis has a top speed of 216mph at 6200 feet and an economical cruise speed of 145mph at 1500 feet.

This if confirmed may explain higher than expected air cover density as the patrols are being calculated at top speed for each air unit rather than economical cruise.

Which may in effect increase the actual air coverage by 30% as they can cover more distance for a given fuel payload.

If the config files only provide a min and max values it seem probable the calculations will be off as it does not have any other value on which to calculate patrols on.
