### DCS Liberation 7
The aircraft preferences per task are kept in each aircraft's yaml file in `resources/units/aircraft/*.yaml`. Each task is assigned a weight describing the aircraft's relative strength at the given task. Aircraft with a higher weight for a given task will be preferred over those with a lower weight. If a task is omitted from the yaml file, the aircraft will not be capable of performing that mission type. For example:
```yaml
# From FA-18C_hornet.yaml
tasks:
Anti-ship: 150
BAI: 740
BARCAP: 450
CAS: 740
DEAD: 440
Escort: 450
Fighter sweep: 450
Intercept: 450
OCA/Aircraft: 740
OCA/Runway: 600
SEAD: 160
SEAD Escort: 160
Strike: 600
TARCAP: 450
```
```yaml
# From F-16C_50.yaml
tasks:
BAI: 750
BARCAP: 460
CAS: 750
DEAD: 450
Escort: 460
Fighter sweep: 460
Intercept: 460
OCA/Aircraft: 750
OCA/Runway: 610
SEAD: 170
SEAD Escort: 170
Strike: 610
TARCAP: 460
```
The hornet has a BAI weight of 740 while the viper has a BAI weight of 750. Liberation will prefer choosing vipers to hornets when deciding which aircraft is better suited to BAI.
Aircraft can have identical weights for a task. When multiple aircraft have the same weight for a task, they are treated as equal by Liberation. Selection criteria vary by many factors; one may be chosen randomly from the set of equal aircraft, one may be chosen arbitrarily, or a different but similar aircraft may be chosen. **These weights are only guidelines.** Use them to give Liberation hints about which aircraft are better at each task.
For an overview of all tasks and weights in Liberation, run `dcs_liberation.exe dump-task-priorities` (from the command line). That will dump `Liberation/Debug/priorities.yaml` to your DCS Saved Games directory.
