And it is also great to see that this engin allows air combat. I think this can be a very important and interesting part of the game, but there is no thread talking about this?
Currently only Orca and RA Longbow can shoot air targets, but you can edit MIG's missile to make it AAable, and it works good dealing all air targets, if you order 2 MIGs fight each other the dogfight is very interesting.
Yet there is a minor problem, due to the engin's limit, they would very easily blow themselves down because an AA/AG weapons damage all air/ground targets in the hit tile, and they often fly into a hit tile.
I fixed this with a very simple method: give the aircraft a primary weapon AG only and a secondary AA only, give the AA missile a longer range and faster speed so aircrafts would not likely run into the blast of their own missile.
So may I suggest you:
1, to consider Air Combat part of the game in further RA/C&C versions
2, For C&C, Orca vs Apache is balanced and fine. But for RA, Allied may need a something more like a fighter than Longbow, perhap F4, or F16. If you don't want to give Allied airstrip, a Harrier VTOL fighter would be nice to operate from helipad.
3, Currently only helicopter style "hover" aircrafts can engage enemy automaticly. For MIG, even if you give it AutoTarget, it can only auto engage enemy when it is parked on a airstrip, but can not when their circle in air. If you can enable their AutoTarget while circling, well, that would be great and equal to the MIG in C&CGeneral.
And there are some suggestions not related to air combat:
1, please add the hotkey that double press of a team number to central the screen on the team.
2, when click the building repair/sell button, it is very easy to roll the screen upward, please fix this as well.
3, why cannot crush infantry? for balance? this is a very interesting part for all C&C game.
4, donno it is my problem or not, I can't change the game resolve from 1024*768. The units look so small, wanna change it bigger.
Thanks.
