The Coming Wave: Detección Aérea, Firmas y Zona Central (Tutorial Parte 3)

Welcome to the second chapter of our The Coming Wave guide! After covering the basics, today Kalino and Jorge delve into one of the system's pillars: **air detection**. Understanding how and when a unit becomes "exposed" is vital for survival on the board. What you will learn in this tutorial: Unit signatures: We differentiate between the air signature (top number), used for detection between aircraft, and the ground/surface signature (bottom number), which indicates how you are seen from the ground or sea. Alert states: We explain the difference between a concealed (ground only), *detectable* (in flight), and exposed (ready to be attacked) unit. The Central Zone (+1): Discover this innovative concept where units on specific missions (such as CAP or AWACS) "occupy" and detect both their own hex and adjacent hexes. * Detection Capability: Not all aircraft "see." Only air patrols (*CAP*) and deployed AWACS have the authority to expose the enemy. Radar Tables: How AWACS and ground-based radars modify the enemy's signature to detect them at greater distances. Range and Symbols: Understand what a range of "*0*" (same hexagon) means and when a dash indicates a total inability to detect. --- *Chapter Index (Timestamps):* 00:00 - Introduction and review of counter-strategy. 01:18 - Air Signature vs. Ground Signature. 01:54 - Real-time detection mechanism. 02:37 - Unit states: Detectable and Exposed. 03:30 - The concept of the Center Zone (+1). 05:10 - Practical example: J-20 detecting a KF-21. 07:46 - Who can detect it? CAPS and AWACS. 08:53 - Using the radar table and modifiers. 11:12 - Detection from surface naval fleets. 12:41 - Land-based radars and air defense. 13:22 - Explanation of ranges: The "0" value and dashes. 15:24 - Final summary of ranges and signatures. 17:18 - Preview of the next video. --- About the game: The Coming Wave is an operational wargame by Kilovolt Design that simulates modern multi-domain conflicts with a procedural and dynamic approach. Do you have any questions about signatures or the center zone? Leave them in the comments and we'll help you. Would you like me to prepare the description for *Episode 3*? To do this, I just need you to provide me with its transcript.
