Canloopbackattack=1 should be non-switchable
Just like high trajectory, this canloopbackattack needs to have a way to set it to be non-selectable, always on. Please see if it's a possibility.

I just looked at the change log....
The player can't tell patrolling bots to prioritize repair. Can't tell artillery to bombard an area. Can't order units to attack multiple targets.
But we have a toggle to choose whether our planes will flyover or immelman on an attack?
wtf?
I love Spring and have always sang it's praises, but this is the first time I've seriously wondered what the hell is going on in the SYs.

there is so much that is usefull (even more than this) and its still not implemented.
- more different ressources
- different explosions
- weoponeffects
- per script changebable unit stats (range, speed, and so on)
- load/unloadable planes which fly out of the mothership by hitting just one button
- canattack=0, canguard=0, canresurrect=0, canbuild=0,... should work
- ...
i would need all of these features more than this

No. It's switchable, and defaults to being off. Besides nobody knows to click "regular" in order to enable this feature.
Revision: it should be...
canloopbackattack=0; same as if it wasn't there
canloopbackattack=1; always on
canloopbackattack=2; switchable.
That way it uses the same system as high arc and makes better sense.
Seriously, all the effort that went into coding this flight behavior is for nothing if it can't be customized as I describe above... the end-user never gives a damn to read the readme which would tell them how to activate it, and from a modder's standpoint, a unit's firepower is completely different depending on whether this is on or off, so it's impossible to balance and can't be used.
