<br />
|desc= Alarm state defines whether or not a units are "combat ready". What this means practically is that it can force sensors on or off for ground vehicles and ships. For some some vehicles, notably mobile sams, this option dictates whether a radar is stowed for travel. Some vehicles are unable to move or can move at a reduced state when the group is "combat ready".<br />
<br />
Note that this option governs all sensors including visual contact. <br />
<br />
This setting will not effect all units animations, especially for radars. Some radars will visually continue to rotate, but they are in fact disabled. <br />
<br />
'''''Behaviors:'''''<br />
<br />
Auto: AI will automatically switch alarm states based on the presence of threats. The AI kind of cheats in this regard.<br />
<br />
Green: Group is not combat ready. Sensors are stowed if possible.<br />
<br />
Red: Group is combat ready and actively searching for targets.<br />
<br />
