Air Warfare?!?

[Revolution]

Seems like ppl are saying gonna be too many pilots snipers etc. Well what if there are a HELLA lot of pilots? Cant we have mass air battles as well?
(As far as snipers, dunno, I'd have my platoon camp around the enemy base in a circle pattern, and pick off ppl)


:mad: :mad: :mad:

[Warborn]

There'll be an abundance of snipers and Reavers/Mosquitos, I'm sure. People like the mobility of aircraft, and they like the massive damage capability while in near total safety of a sniper (not to mention the "leet" factor associated with sniping).

[Blitzkrieg]

I'd rather see massive ground battles but it looks like most people prefer the aerial vehicles. Is there any anti-air vehicle like a mobile flak or mobile AA missile launcher? Cos I haven't seen one yet... :confused:

[Revolution]

LOL like AA guns and shiat! Dayum we all gotta get more HERTZ and like 1000 Ram Now!

I am down, lets do it! DEVS????

[Ratchet]

Blitz

The max armour has an AA configuration.

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah, but i mean REAL vehicles, that you drive and not wear.

[Ratchet]

Not that ive seen, but u can always point those Hull mounted MG's up. looks like u can just about push a 55 degree angle on the hull turret.

[avail]

The way I see it...

I think air vehicles and snipers would be more for recon purposes. See how many people are holding a base, what kind of equipment they have, and relaying that message back to your command.

[Blitzkrieg]

Only the Mosquito.

[Hamma]

There are no AA vehicles, that would be a cool addition tho :p

[Sputty]

Air is going to be a major necessity expecially for the weaker tanks. The Vanu might be needing a few more Reavers than the NC..

[SandTrout]

If someone is a realy good shot with the main guns on the Vangaurd or prowler, who needs anti-air?

I would love to see a mosquitoe or reaver hit by a Vangaurd's main cannon. :blowup:

[Warborn]

Reminds me of a tank in BF1942 shooting enemy aircraft out of the sky with its main gun.

[DarkJaguar]

lol that would be great
Pilot:HAHAHHA a defenseless Vanguard!
Tanker1:Commander! Mossie inbound!
Tanker2:tracking!
Tankcom:FIRE!
Pilot:ohh shi-......
Vanguard has dealt mosquito 15264757damage!

:D I got the idea because I managed to shoot down a plane with a tank in BF1942 during a LAN party.

:lol:
I was able to do that once. I laughed for hours.

[thegame109]

I think your'll find alot of snipers,ariel for the first few weeks as ppl like to exsperiment but then it'll settle down.I mean there#ll be enough ppl to do areil fights aswell as ground 8)


BTW FIRST POST i'de like to welcome myself to this forum ehhe

[zMessiahz]

I just hope hits on planes from a tank do more damage then they do in BF1942. I've hit plenty of planes with tanks, but the problem is that you have to hit them in the engine. Do that and they are dead instantly, but if you hit the wing or main body it does very minimal damage. Which is kind of silly... a 120mm cannon pegging a prop plane in the body would definitely take that sucker down. Hell come to think of it... a shot on a shrike from a tank in t2 doesn't do squat either! Lets pray they do it right in PS!

[Revolution]

Yea I agree with a tank shell hitting a playe its over baby. But air superiority in real comficts is one of the most lethal forms of combat, in my opinion. But I do wish there was some kind of ground AA unit maybe even just like a Turrent. I Now I may be wrong but none of the rocket launchers are heat sinking correct?
Firing them at aircraft? dunno better hit up the weapons board again.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

TR has one that locks on to armored targets (striker).

[SandTrout]

And the NC MAX has one that locks onto armor(Falcon) as well as one that locks onto air(Sparrow). If you want manuel control, get a Phoenix and chase a reaver down.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

forgot about those MAX weapons.

I've played games that have fly-by-wire missiles. Trust me, it's harder than it looks to use them, and the worst thing is that while you're controlling the missile, your little soldier guy is sitting there, motionless, and defenseless.

[Sputty]

Yeah, and it's really easy to trace a missile so if the tank or whatever would ahve escort, and it should, they'd hunt down that ttroop quickly. Also, couldn't a Reaver just put on it
's afterburner the momnet it detects a missile and dodge it?

[SleightOfHand]

Hopefully a plane won't be able to outrun a missile.

[Sputty]

What about out maneuvering?

[Guardian AngeL]

if some shoots a missle at me im gonna make someone jump out of the back and take the missle for my galaxy cause i don't want my baby to get hurt

[Sputty]

From what I can tell it'll take lot of missiles to take down a galaxy...More than 15. If someone can get 15 missiles off without you doing somehting about it then you deserve to die.

[Guardian AngeL]

I don't care if you just scratch my baby ill come kill you with fury:evil:

[Sputty]

:lol:
You'll be fury killing alot of people.

[Guardian AngeL]

i know but its like in real life when someone scratches my car ill sue em till they have nothin left:)

[DarkJaguar]

I heard the 20mm RAC's can shoot them missles down, that's probly what the tail gunner is for then :)

[Hamma]

Dark please pick one image or the other as the sig, not both huge ones.

[Guardian AngeL]

Yea! its edited now

[Sputty]

Can I put my 1024 X 768 wallpaper in my sig????

[Doobz]

i hate the way nobody EVER makes 1600x1200 wallpaper, its what i surf at, but nobody makes it godamn it
