No. But it is possible to make drones invulnerable for all units. It will solve the problem with Raptor, but it will create another problem with balance.

I have idea for all USA generals Humvee vehicle. Somehow Humvee micro should be reduced, i mean since he is so easy to be destroyed its annoying to build squad of infantry, load them in humvee and send him again to battlefield.

So, every USA faction except of regular humvee should have War Factory option to build already loaded Humvee (like Troop Crawler):

- AT humvee (loaded with 4 missile infantry)
- AI humvee (loaded with 4 rangers)
- mixed humvee (loaded with 2 rangers and 2 missile infantry)

And at last:

- Humvee loaded with one sniper and 3 missile infantry (for factions which have sniper, and after rank 3 ofcourse)

So, you can still build regular non loaded humvee, but you have option for already loaded (cost more, and build time more, but less micro).

Nice idea. If possible, the Battle Bus should have something similar (aside the empty one).

Assault: 2 RPGs + 2 Stingers
Demo: 3 RPGs + 1 Rebel

Sounds good and codeable as TCs already use this system (at least, it features filling them)

[Su8perkillr]

Lol. Invincible drones would be like the strongest unit in the game. Just rush in with rangers and drones above them and you win.

[Arcadian Daze]

its annoying if you fight against them but they can also work as decoy.

AA has a rage bonus VS airborne units and also prioritizes them.
so against gatlings and quads they can work as a nice decoy. it will require micro to let them attack main units.
which is very useful for light vehicles and infantry

[Casojin]

Drone is quite useful but I rarely use them. My combat doctrine is to minimize my losses at all cost. Those flying drones represent targets for my enemy and highly vulnerable, so I stick with controllable units instead. However, there are many occasion when these drones are good.

About their cost, they're expensive right now. Making them more expensive would make them useless or cost ineffective.

Maybe make the drones more expensive? Or the Units summonıng them less stronger?

Think of when you use these drones against China Tank or GLA Poison, when their max health lowered then they're nothing but flying scrap because Tank has super ECM tank and super AAA and Poison has Aurora Bomber killer toxic cloud (the cheaty Aurora against Thrax's yellow cloud is vulnerable even in supersonic mode). Yes, you need some decoy to ensure that most of your ground forces are safe from airstrike or draw AA defenses fire.

I think the only thing to lower are some Kwai's tanks cost. According to the new economic system, Kwai will be quickly out of money if there is massive force battle happened especially against the faction which has good group killers such as Flame's MLRS or Poison's Luna.

[FAFNIROS]

Mhmm İ see it is difficult...

One more suggestion:

İs it possible to change the pictures of F-18 and F-22?
Like those:

F-18: http://www.wallpaper...18_hornet_9.jpg

F-22: http://www.wallpaper...22_raptor_4.jpg

Good idea
It will be awesome

As Creator said that Tank Gen will have Gauss Tank and Gauss upgrades instead Gattling and Gattling upgrades. I have an idea for Nuke Gen to have Retaliator Tank (not Gattling) which can be upgraded with Nuclear bullets like Red guards. It will mean that every China faction will have different AA and AI vechicle/defence. Tank will have Gauss Tank and Gauss Cannon, Infantry will have Gattling TC and Gattling Cannon, Flame has Vortex Tank and Vortex Cannon, and Nuke may have the Retaliator Tank.

I agree 100%. Go nuke general!

[Su8perkillr]

Sounds like a heck of a good update to me. This could be implemented with all gens actually. Think about light HE grenades for SW gen, lazer guns for laser (he has em, I know) Personel AA launcher for granger. GLA already has quite a lot of specialized guns.

Retaliator is one of the most OP thing in Contra 005, which is why it has been removed in 006.

I suggest Retaliator tank this way, replace the gattling gun on the gattling tank with a single barrel retaliator gun and it fire as same firepower as gattling and same damage type. Or just make Nuclear Bullet upgrade affect gattlings too (remove Chain Gun upgrade) but the firepower increasing is not as much as Redguard's.

[dcesarec]

"been there,done that"
All the suggestions about nuke bullets and retailator have already been posted here before,discussed,and rejected.

No. I will not return those overpowered Retaliators. It will ruin all balance and will allow to win with these OP Retaliator Tanks. Many other units will become unneeded.

wow

Yeah, guys! What is about win button? You push it - and all enemies explode and you win!!! It will be definitely nice 100% good update to you.
