 ### Extended Aircraft Missions
 
 - Aircraft will now be able to use waypoints.
-- When a `guard` command (`[G]` by default) is issued, the aircraft will search for targets around the current location and return immediately when target is not found, target is destroyed or ammos are depleted.
-  - If the target is destroyed but ammos are not depleted yet, it will also return because the aircraft's command is one-time.
+- When a `guard` command (`[G]` by default) or a `area guard` command (`[Ctrl]+[Alt]`) is issued, the aircraft will search for targets around the position (for `guard` is the current location, for `area guard` is the target position) and return immediately when ammos are depleted.
+  - If the target is not found, or if there is still ammo when the target is destroyed, it will continue to hover over the guarded area.
 - When an `attack move` command (`[Ctrl]+[Shift]`) is issued, the aircraft will move towards the destination and search for nearby targets on the route for attack. Once ammo is depleted or the destination is reached, it will return.
   - If the automatically selected target is destroyed but ammo is not depleted yet during the process, the aircraft will continue flying to the destination.
 - In addition, the actions of aircraft are also changed.
   - `ExtendedAircraftMissions.SmoothMoving` controls whether the aircraft will return to the airport when the distance to the destination is less than half of `SlowdownDistance` or its turning radius.
   - `ExtendedAircraftMissions.EarlyDescend` controls whether the aircraft not have to fly directly above the airport before starting to descend when the distance between the aircraft and the landing point is less than `SlowdownDistance` (also work for aircraft spawned by aircraft carriers).
   - `ExtendedAircraftMissions.RearApproach` controls whether the aircraft should start landing at the airport from the opposite direction of `LandingDir`.
+  - `ExtendedAircraftMissions.FastScramble` controls whether the aircraft can scramble when its airport has been destroyed.
+  - `ExtendedAircraftMissions.UnlandDamage` controls the damage suffered by the aircraft every 4 frames when there is no airport for the aircraft to land. If the value is negative, it will crash immediately. Not recommended to use when `ExtendedAircraftMissions` is not enabled.

-- Map trigger action `125 Build At...` now plays buildup by default if available, this can be toggled off using the third parameter (values other than 0). See [required changes for `fadata.ini`](#for-map-editor-final-alert-2) on how to enable the parameter in map editor.

 - `IsSimpleDeployer` units now obey deploying facing constraint even without deploying animation. To disable this, set `DeployDir` (defaults to `[AudioVisual] -> DeployDir`) to -1.
 - `Vertical=true` projectiles now default to completely downwards initial trajectory/facing regardless of if their projectile image has `Voxel=true` or not. This behavior can be reverted by setting `VerticalInitialFacing=false` on projectile in `rulesmd.ini`.
 - `Vertical=true` projectiles no longer move horizontally if fired by aircraft by default. To re-enable this behaviour set `Vertical.AircraftFix=false` on the projectile.
