Hmm, good plan for the tr one chewy, but i still like the idea of a pure fighter for vs, since almost all AV weaponry explodes on the surface of water (knife fighting a vehicle doesnt work too well).

If there are any air to air missles, there should be something like flares you can shoot out to get rid of on comming missles. ofcourse this would effect ground based missles too.

Hmmm... I smell advanced post BR-20 abilities.

Then all the newb reavers would be pzowned.

take that back, flares work only for air to air rockets, until you are br20whatever, you can use flares that take out both kinds of rockets.

I want flares, but with restrictions (i.e. it takes up the space of a standard vehicle ammo box. This could lead to interesting roles, such as one member of the team carrying just 20mm and flares and flying in formation to catch missiles.)

My idea for countering the Ionis was this. Since the Sidewinder can only be pointed either above or below the craft facing forward at a 45 degree angle, you would require another aircraft to take it out. If it's underwater, this would be what you do:

Diagram A:

--------- <Surface of the water

........\ <Sidewinder
......== <Piss poor attempt at drawing the ionis
--------- <Ground

Diagram B:

.................X < You here
.............../ < Bullets
--------- /
........... /
........\ /
......== - Blargh, I die!
---------

Maybe make it so that it loses half of it's armor if it goes underwater.

New plan: an entire series of submarines to start off the naval combat stuff, with long-range ballistic missles and a common pool sub killer, and VS guys with russian accents defecting to the NC with the all powerful VSS "Purple July".
