Yes there's a Tech Airfield but the 7.0 one doesn't have much for each side so wait until 8.0 I think there suppost to have inproved the units you can build there.

[Tigs2006]

What could buy for tech airfield in 7.0???

[Bob]

In 7.0 you could build the U.S. Sea Devil helicopter, which is actually a Sea Hawk helicopter. But it had a bug 7.0 that crashed the game when the chopper is shot down, so don't even bother building it. Last I heard, it was to be removed PR 8.0, which is a shame because it's a sweet looking model.

Anyway, the Chinese side has a light fighter/bomber the Su-37 Berkut.

As for the GLA, this is the only place in PR 7.0 where you can build GLA aircraft. They have a three aircraft. All of them look like WWII era propeller fighters. The list:

1.) GLA Fighter - This acts like a WWII propeller fighter where it fires machine guns at targets.

2.) GLA Flakker - This fighter fires 6 cannon shots at a target. From what I've understood it's suppose to reload, but I haven't seen this happen. A bug I guess.

3.) GLA Bomber - This one's kinda neat because it sorta kinda acts like the U.S. cluster bomber in the game, except this is on a much much smaller coverage and basis. This aircraft drops 6 balls, clusters, whatever you want to call them, and when they hit the ground they explode in a big boom. The only downside I've seen is that they aren't all as powerful as they look. I mean for that big of an explosion I would expect more damage. But, that's just in my personal opinion.

As for what's new in PR 8.0 as it relates to the Tech Airfield. All I know at this point is that I have the old Alpha test version of PR 8.0 on my machine right now. And the only change that I've seen so far for the Tech Airfield is the Ocelot fighter for the U.S. side:

' ... Last but not least comes the Ocelot, this is the US answer to the Chinese Tanks, and most power plants. Not only can a pair reduce a Power plant into a smoking pile of rubble, but a single Ocelot can reduce almost any tank to scrap, but this isn't the best it has to offer, it's missiles can't be seen by the enemy unless they are near a detector. This allows them to get much closer to units with PDLs 90% of the time hitting their target without being detected. With these abilities there is a price, a steep one, not as much as an Aurora, but close. It also takes some time to build. (Available from Tech Airfield)'

I'm sure he probably has other stuff up his sleeve, but lately he's been playing it close to the vest with information, so we will have to wait and see what's next. I'm looking forward to the next test version of PR 8.0 to see some of the new stuff like the Tech Naval Yard, the Tech Exosuits Factory. and the Tech GPS station. Stay tuned!

GLA demo rocket soldiers have extra powerfull hits, with that little red glow that happens, like when you launch a scud storm from demo gen. Perhaps a demo trap layer for demo general.

I think the regular generals have been left out in alot of the enhancments that the other generals have been getting, there are very few uniqe things that USA, GLA, and China have all on their own. Perhaps China gets a mine layer that sets neutron mines, while the other china generals get regular mine layers. USA gets 2 high power missile launchers on his fire base added to the little bomb thing that launches. Mabye GLA gets a .... something.

Also GLA the "Heavy Tank" Is too much like a souped up (forgot the name) with duel barrels. (scavenges parts from enemy kills)

(I feel retarded this morning, I am sure there are mistakes in my typing but im feeling lazy...)

Just some thoughts

[Tigs2006]

I got a idea for the Tech Naval Yard, a modern seaplane tender that could build seaplanes that could rescue downed pilots in the water and make the pilot so they can swim in the water and another idea that a seaplane bomber and a seaplane transport.

[Tigs2006]

What if PR had a GLA Hydro General? All the units uses a very powerful blasts. I also got a idea for the Generals Powers for this general, it is a GLA cargo plane that would carry two very big water bombs, when the bomb hits the ground it would flood the selected area. Instead of the power plants the other GLA generals use, the GLA Hydro General would use hydroelectric power plant

This thread is dead.

[Soul]

It didn't die, it's just noones around to post or don't want to post.

[00 Nobody]

... PIE TANK!!


here's a good rule of thumb (you know, the bigger, more pudgy finger on your hand). Never call off-topic chat or crazy ideas dead. they havent died for many, many years, and i doubt they ever will for a long time.

[Bob]

Only if it shoots apple pies. (U.S. Tank)

[FireBlade]

It will only die if it gets locked lol.

[00 Nobody]

lol well yeah.

[sath]

and there is NO reason to block crazy ideas... As long as it stays nice and... well... Crazy

[THE OVERLORDS]

Then my idea just might fit. Im back after shooting a 308.winmag round into my cpu (i was drunk)

How about giving China a bio einginering (i dont think i spelled that right) factory so they can make all kinds of monsters.

Im thinking of one im particular its part of there national symbol.

Cant figure it out? a dragon. Do i smell ashes and burnt tanks?

Oh and is my picture of Bahamut too big i dont mind removing it.

eh correct that its not acctualy mine and i take no rights to it.

...

...

Please resize it to about 1/3 of its 6 inch tall size, and you'll be just fine.

To everyone: Please do not put extremely large pictures that take up a lot of real estate in your signatures. That's a general rule that I've seen on most every forum site I've ever been signed up with here on the net.

Thanks.

[THE OVERLORDS]

Mind telling me how i cant figure it out.


Hmm thats odd it says its only 2.46in tall.

The new anti personel tank


and the new anti everything GOD

ME

too add an actual idea ummm how about napalm grenades from the grenader guy. and i know i spelled everything wrong i havnt slept today... at all

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

That would be a pretty cool upgrade, Infantry General most likely. They'd be like napalm cannons, but on a man! Sorry, I find that trés cool.

And btw for all my fellow grammar nazi's I do know that trés actually has a grave accent on it but i don't know the buttons for that.

@ The Overlords you can put the picture in Paint then resize it, save it again, and use that as your picture instead.

[‡] Once upon a time, there was some really cool men... or something...

They decided to make a tank
but not just any tank
this tank would blow away the competition.

They took a paladin tank's main type of weaponry, the jet propelled shell, and modified it.
It now was better than any other.

When the shell was tested, the target was obliterated.

Only ashes remained

They then decided to make it even more powerful.

They took the M1A1's main chasis and made a lighter counterpart for it.

Then they put in a super-powerful cold-fusion reactor.

The tank was then faster than any land combat vehicle
it went 90 miles per hour.

Then they decided they needed a super-powerful turret to withstand the recoil they needed to make an incredible tank.

They took a heavy crusader cannon and made it more powerful, with a super recoil ability.

The tank itself felt absolutely no recoil when the shell was fired.

The cannon itself recoiled inward because it was made telescopic.

They then peiced the things together and made a supertank.

BEHOLD!

The Paladin Mark II
It moves extremely fast
has light armor
has a telescopic recoil cannon
double PD lasers
and laser shells that explode in a flash of light so intense it sets things ablaze (small firestorm effect)

Ok thats my new idea for a tank. Note it should cost somewhere between $2k and $3k. Comments welcome (oh ya i felt like telling a story for some reason)


EDIT: I have a quick concept drawing done in paint. Here it is.

[Delta24US]

i wonder if you can make tanks mobile superweapons (like actually limit to one built because its so powerful)
