Question: Why cap windspeed?

This isn't so much of a request, but more of a query. Why is windspeed capped at a maximum of 25? There's a fair few maps which have higher max windspeeds than 25 but can't go higher because of the cap.
Why is there a cap and if nobody knows, could we remove it?

it's not an engine's cap, it's a mod's cap:
grep -R windGenerator BA712/*
BA712/units/corwin.fbi: windGenerator=25;
BA712/units/armwin.fbi: windGenerator=25;
engine code that uses it:
Code: Select all
if (unitDef->windGenerator > 0.0f) {
if (wind.GetCurrentStrength() > unitDef->windGenerator) {
AddEnergy(unitDef->windGenerator * 0.5f);
} else {
AddEnergy(wind.GetCurrentStrength() * 0.5f);
}
}
solution: set windGenerator tags in the mod to huge numbers

In CA you can set the windspeed in the modoptions when you host. Set it to 7000 if you want energy so bad.

I thought wind speed wasn't even an engine value but is set up in mods/games via lua. Is this still the case?
