Air Wars Improvement Discussion

@IHateHarriers: It amazes my one Red Alert 2 friend, can't stand it because he can't get as good as me.
anybody can crush a brutal AI in Five min. the point is are you good enough to hold them off for that long. i can, so can you? try it on a map like Wild Animal Park, because it is big, has oil, and has plenty of points to catch the emey off guard.
Topic title edited per request. -- DCoder _________________
Better yet, play on MayDay, one choke point + heaps of oil + an additional passage that the AI is too dumb to use.
Or Bay of Pigs, even more oil and it's pretty easy to create a single choke point by popping the bridges. QUICK_EDIT
i like mayday cause then when i build a chronosphere, i can teleport enemy units right into the ocean. i make chokepoints in Wild Animal Park too by knocking out bridges, and if am starting out int he top right-hand corner, i just blow all the bridges and only aircraft can get me. with Air Wars, though, things can still get pretty messy.... _________________
nah, they can just get to anything and still be devastating. btw, have you enjoyed Air Wars?
No, they can't get past 30 flak tracks.And yes,I enjoed Air Wars a lot.But the only mistake you made is that you didn't make it an XCC mod by download.Then it would be perfect!!!
@Desolated Sniper I hope that you do that.We'll be wayting! QUICK_EDIT
What you mean this isn't the last version of the mod?COOL!!!BTW,you could also make some other little tweaks...you know-some of those things that really annoy you... QUICK_EDIT
i already got a few in mind. expect the next big upgrade sometime in late spring/early summer, with smaller improvements from now until then. the first thing i'm gonna fix is the tech level on the Tornado, cause i've noticed that sometimes the AI sends them before you have any air defenses. after that, i'll find stuff and would love it if you gave me suggestions in "The War is Over" topic, cause this one ain't about Air Wars. _________________
Against massed AI, when playing as soviet the best thing to do is make Rhinos. Lots of them.
(Especially if playing against 6 CannisRules Brutals on Stacked Odds) _________________

@ ihateharriers: does your mod have multiple pad aircarft? if so, how did you make them work, because if i build the new harrier type i created, it does weird QUICK_EDIT
yup. all i did make the unit, put in the aircraft types list, and added it to the PadAircraft = in the [Generals] section of the rulesmd file. _________________

Hey king of lameness, I could add the merge thread mod if I wanted, but I don't want. It's not worth, because I'll do an uber update on this forum by the end of the year, so I'll have to apply the merge thread mod again... In fact, a good part of this topic deserves a spot at Crap forum, but I'll let DCoder decide that... _________________

i would actually prefer if this topic was Renamed as "Air Wars Improvement Discussion" and leave the war is over topic for future release downloads only. _________________

I wasn't aware that you were planning to add that mod (or update the engine), but if a forum needs a mod to do something as basic as topic merging/attachments/subforums, then that forum is lame in my opinion.
And, since you're the boss, and my "lest" clause is no longer valid... topic split and renamed. Again... QUICK_EDIT
But you have to reinstall the mods each time you update it. (What mods make it better than IPB, anyway? Aside from the fact that IPB costs $$.) QUICK_EDIT
i like the bigger infantry. more detail. one thing that i may do is give them some cool firing anims, cause that is one thing that they definitely lack. _________________
I'm gonna give you a picture of it as soon as my friend Ivan gives it to me.That would be 2-3 days from now.He's giving me a military magazine... QUICK_EDIT
No kidding-Google?!Heh man I'm not (that) stupid.Google has some nice pictures but it's not worth it. Because the pics I'm gonna get are better. QUICK_EDIT
Goshs, i don't think i'll think i'll need a picture. i'll get a blueprint becasue they are much more accurate and useful to me. as for a stinger site, i dunno. i was thinking more along the lines of a AAA battery, something cheaper than the Patriot Missiles/Flak Cannon/Gattling cannon. it won't be a powered base defense, but it also won't do as much damage, so it's a trade off. _________________
