[Defconapi] controlling fighters

Apologies if this has been sent multiple times, having internet trouble.

void Bot::think() {
	for (unsigned int i = 0; i < game->GetOwnUnits().size(); ++i) {
		switch (game->GetType(game->GetOwnUnits()[i])) {
			case TypeAirBase:
				if (defcon <= 3) {
					game->SetMovementTarget(game->GetOwnUnits()[i],
						game->GetLongitude(cityIds[1]) + 5.0f,
						game->GetLatitude(cityIds[1]) + 5.0f);
				}
				break;
			case TypeBomber:
			case TypeFighter:
				game->SetMovementTarget(game->GetOwnUnits()[i],
						game->GetLongitude(game->GetOwnUnits()[i]) + 5.0f,
						game->GetLatitude(game->GetOwnUnits()[i]) + 5.0f);
				//game->SetLandingTarget(game->GetOwnUnits()[i], game->GetOwnUnits()[0]);
				break;
			default:
				game->SendChatMessage(composeString("Unknown type for unit %d",
game->GetOwnUnits()[i]), CHATCHANNEL_PUBLIC);
				break;
