In real life quad cannon have no hope of shooting down an air craft made after 1950,

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Quad cannon with automatic aiming system have some chances to destroy jets flying at low altitude.

Patriot missle launchers DO NOT attack tanks, or even planes, EVER  :dry: ,

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Nowdays they are developing new type of missile for Patriot that will be able to destroy ground targets. Possibly it is further development of ADATS project.

but I could also just call it a TOS II or III and do what ever I want ;)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

TOS-2 and TOS-3 are under development already. As TOS-1, they will be heavy flame thrwing systems equipped with thermobarical or incendiary warheads. Of course, anti ground only. Their names are known, but regrettably there is no any other data (top secret)
TOS-1 Buratino
TOS-2 Carabas
TOS-3 Kirovograd

Or, if TOS realy offends you I could just call it missle tanki/site.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I simply don't want somebody to distort reality very much. If you want an anti aircraft flamethrower then think up it, model it and give it a fantastic name. Of course, you can use Buratino too, but at first, let it be anti ground only like in reality. At second, it is Russian unit. Why must it be Chinese in game? Let China to have its own original flamethrowers.

If a patriot can be abused... so can a TOS, or we can rename it.  In real life there are very few missle launchers that attack everything the way a launcher will in game.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Why do not to think up your own launcher? To say, PMS-4A (Pendaelose Missile System modification №4, A = advanced) :huh:

its only chineese because the model fits China much moer than any other faction. But I realy like the MSP-4A name. I'll use that. past that its just physical resemblence. I've got no attatchment to the name TOS, its just what was with the model and it sounded good.

as for making a model.. I can make models all day long... its skinning that kicks my butt. always has. so I use models that others have left available for sharing. I know you know what I mean. a good few of the models in contra are available for DL on Gen-Dev... and thats cool. thats what they're there for.

But fret not... it is now the MSP-4A (PMScan be found elsewere :dry: )

Between now and the next polished release there should be very little new art work done. Instead the focus is on designing, testing, and fixing. the mod has always been so close to finished that its nearly criminal. I'd love to see this through to the end with a real community effort.

I would say yes.., but i'm not certain. The plane can for sure be given the enter building option, and the building can for sure hold units, but the locomotor for the aircraft might make it tough to make it happen. also you have the issue of landing stip holding. would the airfiled keep its door open for the plane if it was garrioned in the building????

dont care about that:P in only using it so my not stealth planes are stealth on the ground because i made already airfields with camonetting upgrade.
and it looks little dumb when you see a shiny A10 on the ground with no airfield were its standing on :p

have you tried putting infantry in the building? hae you set the TransportSlotCount used by your aircraft? I think by default they don't have it listed at all, or set to 0)

I bet its because the aircraft have 2 rightclick functions for the building...

its prefering garison over land, and the airlocomotor wont let them crash into the building to garison. thats a guess atleast.

can you still build aircraft on it? try building one and tell that plane to garison

i tried it with different tries but it dont work
i think its because its already in a building when it lands.
but i dont know why on the chinook code is that itnotallows aircraft as i cant put in a building. maybe it work with copters but ive deleted it.
now they are stealth on the way you sayd ealrier with copying the stealth code of the sentry done :p

I've got a bug.. I think its in Contra .03, but i've tinkered so much it could be my own doing... flame china AI overlords... it builds it, but the tank does nothing. even when I run a "All Hunt" script it just sits there. It will build an addon 50% of the time and nothing else.


I had another issue.. but I think I've got it about figured out.

LOL Amen! :)

Worse.. it starts as just a simple cost change... then you want a full unit rebalance... then a new unit... then a new building... then a new general... Now it has taken every spare minute of thine life.
