[SSTG]

Aw I was hoping for a Tsar bomb though that was a promotional weapon

anyways nice set up you even got the concept weapons germany had during WW2

[wilmet]

Sounding good...not sure about the nazi cosmic death ray though...but what else could they get.

How about radar jammers/chaff launching planes to knock out radars, spy planes to reveal parts of the map?
How about ways of using the Yuri side early warning system from YR (forgot the name, psychic sensor or beacon?) in the shape of specialist radar buildings/listening posts?

are there ways of "stunning" enemy troops by using the mind control code somehow: target them with some sort of propaganda SW (leaflet drop, loud speaker, whatever) and it renders them ''ownerless'' or turns them to your side?


or to be a bit silly, waves of kamikaze pidgeons and camel poo mines? (I'm not making these up btw)

Edited by wilmet, 06 March 2009 - 08:48 PM.

[SSTG]

I thought of one for allied forces namely france and britian using the EMP logic a sabotage SW with disables tanks etc for amount of time

[Mig Eater]

The mosquito's secondary weapon is a chaff launcher & the French mid game SW reveal parts of the map.

Originally the British got a radar/psychic sensor but I didn't really like it so it went. They may come back later on, see how things go when I make the British buildings.

The only sort of "stunning" weapon like that is the system used by the chaos drone, I guess that could be used for a propaganda SW.

BTW the Japanese have an EMP tank

[wilmet]

EMP tank?

[Mig Eater]

The Ka-Ha "High-Voltage Dynamo Vehicle", It was designed to disable communication devices, in D-day tho it disables units

PS: Switched the Sänger Silverbird (which doesn't look that good ingame) for the Ar-E.555 (the old fav)

[Mig Eater]

Update with pics of the Horsa Gliders, Nationalism, Artillery Strike, Iron Cross & Sonnengewehr Strike.

I also added information on two new German super weapon (Mine Drop & Fritz X Strike), The two post war soviet super weapons have been merged into one now as well.

[raminator]

yeah Sonnengewehr

btw it´s Schmutzige Bombe

[Mig Eater]

Added pic of the British Field Repair!

[Naruto]

Nice update . Me likey

[Mig Eater]

More to come soon

[Elerium]

When I think about it, maybe the Germans ought to have artillery strike powers too knowing they had those really big howitzers like the Schwerer Gustav and Dora which might help out mid-war..

[wilmet]

Now I'm curious to see whats what for the other sides

[Mig Eater]

I'm trying to keep to a limit of two superweapons per time frame to balance things, otherwise the Germans would have like a dozen & some other sides only a few >.> IMO seeing a V-1 buzz across the screen is more interesting then a random artillery shell too.

I might make some of the heavy German/Soviet rail guns "tech buildings" tho, would just be a matter of who gets them first then.

I'm still thinking about the other sides, got about a third of there stuff planed out tho.

[Darkstorm]

... yeah, anyhow good work on these, the only thing is the mortar (only SW thats a unit) is that going to be like the artillary strike or literally a unit in the field? Also how is the glider assault going to work? Droppod Logic? Whats with all the different planes for 101st Airborne, are they for different eras? Shouldn't you just call them "Airborne" anyhow? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just VERY curious.

I also got an unrelated question, are you using the ore resource or ditching it for something like Oil Derricks? Your probably keeping it but I just thought I'd ask.

You can like look at old posts/screenshots?

http://dday.migeater...cs/screen19.jpg

He's is replacing ore with supplies, their will be three types of supplies to collect which basically equate to different values of money.

Airborne is obviously time framed based to represent developments in technology.

Last time I checked, Mig Eater was using Ares and obviously a patch is required for example the German promotion ability.

[raminator]

haha...
are those 2 planes next to the airfield on the ground or why do they not cast any shadows?

[Darkstorm]

Hmmm, supplys in the middle of the battlefield? GROWING? Is it me are is that just silly? Notheless I won't make a fuss about it since its not my mod. BTW has Ares been released or his he testing? Stupid question but I thought I'd ask just in case.
