CanuckGamer Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Have played around with the demo a bit and it looks like your air units automatically intercept enemy air as in Strategic Command. I was hoping that in SC 2 you would have the option of setting your air units on a "do not intercept" mode. I never did like the auto intercept as my air units were continually being beat down, even though I wanted to save them for offensive ground support missions.

Desert Dave Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 CanuckGamer: I never did like the auto intercept as my air units were continually being beat down... Right click your air fleet, select "Set Mode" from the menue. There you can choose between Auto Intercept Escort Ground Ottosmops, On top of his game, In that 2nd quote. Now, IMO, THIS Is the "exemplar ideal," How the real world works. Folks figuring things out for themselves. :cool: Then we as beta testers (... or very best, Hubert telling of his own inspired design :cool: ) Can mostly just add in comments As is appropriate, Or correct misapprehensions And the like. Well, however its done, I am OK with nearly anything (... excepting the bellicose, the belligerent) So long as everyone gets the drift. _______________________________________ When SC the Original first arrived, I had posted a note About how I thought the Air Fleets Were the - "Queen of the Battlefield." Now, It's them Armor. Which is NOT merely a little packet Of Panzer tanks, But usually includes mechanized troops Riding alongside. Nowhere was this more evident to me Than in the making of North Afrika scenario. After playing 10 games or so I came to appreciate That EITHER SIDE losing JUST one of these VERY valuable units, And, Well, they were at sudden disadvantage. Changed the whole approach, or Retreat, as the case may be. This missing unit HAD to be replaced. Either you waited for another tank unit To arrive (... meanwhile employing some sort of "defensive" maneuvers) OR, You had to figure how to best deploy The infantry and air So to account for that lost tank. What am I saying? IMO, the Air Fleets are now more "realistic" In their capablilities, And the armor is... King. Of the SC-2 Battlefield. Rather, it CAN be. Depending on your personal "play style."
