I disagree. The Gattling Cannon is susceptible to plentiful long range units a la Artillery, Mortars, Libras etc. Against aerial units, its what its supposed to be good against.

xXx

yes i know that but the thing is it is good agaist both unlike the patriot launchers are agains planes good and stingers are good against planes only because the rockets are too inaccurate for the ground units but the gatling cannon doesnt miss either planes or ground units

[Pendaelose]

the gattling defenses are best against Air and Infantry.... they are weak vs tanks.

sounds fair to me.

[taclled]

well like violence said that was my biggest point just im not good at expressing it but when i build the gattling cannon, it might just be the way i build them(position) that they provide maximum coverage against everything and completely destroy anything that gets near me.

but i did have an idea now i know it probably wouldn't work for the contra gameplay but make it that planes have to come back to base to refuel so that it can't stay in the air guarding forever. But airforce general(or some one else) can make a plane for in flight refueling(or maybe a blimp of sorts)

I've been wanting to try something like that... I'm not sure if its possible.

If u did this or any mod did this i promice you now i would not try the new wips or even play the mod when released, The planes in generals are already the most gimped units in the game, purely because they have to come back and rearm, there not like tanks remember, aa can rip them appart aswell. vs computer there not too bad vs Players tho there even worse simply because players know that there gonna be hit by airunits and will make sure to have AA, specialy when fighting airforce general.
the idea of inflight refuleing and such is good, but NOT for generals. Generals is not good enough to have a usesable and working airforce that would implement that system, it would only destroy the point of using them and become pointless.

I think you kinda got the wrong idea... a mobile airfield could actualy be pretty cool. Think of a Chem GLA zeplin launching short range bombers (like a GLA Protoss Carrier).... that would be sweet... and would involve some form of code nearly identical to the in-air refuel.


btw, a while back there was a brief row regarding your name origin... I always think of Preator Phoenix. The other thing it always make me think is "Rising from the ashes of 9/11"... following along with the whole re-birth theme of the phoenix. (btw, I lookt at the GOOD version of that statement)

[Striker26]

awesome!
maybe theres a button to deploy which means it becoms immobile in the air till you press the button again

I think there was some code to do the fuel thing but i forget where it was or anything about it since at the moment of seeing it I thought it irrevalent

[Phoenix911]

So your talking about an aircraft carrier that flys like the carriers on protoss? (protoss was gods of starcraft)
Cos from what i understood it seemed like u wanted them to fly back and refule even if they have not unloaded there payload witch would suck.

BUT if u added a unit coded like the protoss carrier that would keep its litle fights/drones onborad and only lunch them when given the order to attack or when the carrier is engaged then that would be cool.
If the carrier was on gaurd area there drones/fighters would remain decked untill an enermy enters the gaurd area.

There fighters should be fast deploying, and maybe make 2 version 1 that deploys bombers and one anti air version like interceptors.
Or just 1 multirole one.

BUT this also seems too high tech for a gla, Them having a blime is all well and good and it maybe carrying 1 or 2 biplays kinda like the blimp in indian johnes then sure. But a complete carrier version seems too hightech.

Personly i think only airforce gen would get that or atlest usa or china side would get one. And would not be a blime, But as i said that idea sound too advance for any gla side and would mainly only suit airforce gen.

PS: your next wip better make the AF firebases bunkered ones pend lol

I'm thinking 4 bi-planes dropped from a zeplin. the dock and rearm would be very simple. low tech looking aswell.


and o-hell-no to what you were thinking about the in-flight refuel. What the hell made you think I would like an idea like that???

[Phoenix911]

Someone else brung up the convo pend you corrected my miss interpretation.

But taclled said

but make it that planes have to come back to base to refuel so that it can't stay in the air guarding forever

And your post after said you been wanting to try something like this.

[taclled]

i got lost 2 posts ago ill understand in the morning lol no personally i think to do the inflight refuel would be way to hard for modeling and interaction between 2 aircraft and a hose but the flying airfield would be like a station for them to refuel and reload also it could act as a type of chinook but now that would be giving it too much. actually i think a zeplin would work good for all of them just usa's is more high tech, china's is more ______, and GLA's is more sneaky.(or something else)

[Phoenix911]

only GLA are getting airships, There is no way in heal china or usa would use an airship for this sort of thing. They would rather build a massive helo/flying fortress that can do the same thing. More effectivly aswell with more aircrafts and better aircrafts.

[taclled]

now that is the problem with the people of today they think to technical when something less conventional and cheaper would work just as well. besides a zepelin can stay in the air longer than aflyingfortress thing like phoenix discribed

[Ubermedic]

besides a zepelin can stay in the air longer than aflyingfortress thing like phoenix discribed

That's a gross over exaggeration.
Besides. Which looks cooler?
The Hindenburg or The Shierra?
(the shierra is cid's ship in FF7AC)
((Also the shierra is prop powered so it could stay in the air long))

[taclled]

okay ever seen some concept art of futuristic military airships those things dont look bad i mean the hindenburg is somehting of the past but look into the future and how much dirigibles can be upgraded to look cool and to do tasks other aircraft cannot do of course if they made a VTOL version of the A-10 then there is nothing planes cant do. Another idea afterthinking of the helo thing is just a big airship like thing that is also held aloft by multiple rotors with a small airfield on top or inside.

[Death_Pheonix]

Oo Phoenix911 got touchy with the new guy. I chose to ignore him because he wasn't even worth scolding.
Just my two cents worth
xXx

just register already its not hard, geez.


idea for assault mini-super-weapon a Shahab-3, only a heavily modded one with 3 rockets, and it fires heavy HE missiles, with a cool down of 9 minutes. ??

also an idea to give assault F 14s because they are obsolete at that time (2030's) ??

and ive suggested this 2 times but know one responds, why not change the model of demos aircraft to something practical??.
