Oh god stop telling me this it's just not true.

OH COME ON HOW DOES USING A SPY PLANE UNLOCK NEW TECHNOLOGIES?!

This is a bug that's been present in RA95 since the beginning; it's easier to notice however if you're playing as the Allies. It occurs if you happen to unlock access to both Allied and Soviet airpower; for some reason building anything and everything in the Structures menu causes 'new' tech to be unlocked, even if you already have that structure (seen here with the Soviet Barracks). Causing this as Soviets is trickier; while an Allied player only has to capture or build an Airfield, a Soviet player would have to capture an Allied Helipad to 'break' things, which isn't really a common opportunity.

I can't explain or even figure out why this happens (after all, the Helipad is a similar object to the War Factory - a structure that both sides share), but for whatever reason the sidebar really fucks up. The Hind/Chinook keep getting shoved down if you do happen to build anything that DOES unlock new units/powers. I can only assume it's something to do with the Helipad automatically creating a 'free' unit on building?

Fuck knows.
