mav1 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Will aircraft and helicopters be modelled or will they be just a line with a name at the top. Will you be able to select the target for aircraft and helicopters instead of it being done by the ai. In the future, why not include air combat as well as land combat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Warrior Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Perhaps a nicer way to say this is.. I might suggest that you try a doing search in that these topics have been discussed previously in some detail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 In mav1's defense, though there's been lots and lots (and LOTS) of questions, comments, and speculation on this topic there have not been many actual answers. CMSF is probably going to be lousy with laser designators between the Stryker mounted systems, Kiowa scout copters, Predator-type drones, and Special Forces assigned for close air support. Laser desinators implies laser guided munitions, which implies stuff fired off of aircraft and copters. So, following the clues, some actual designation of targets for aircraft would be likely. I think BFC said helicopters would be modeled. I can't recall them saying the same for aircraft, though. And the jury's still out on whether helo troops transport will be included in the game (maybe no). Has anybody gleaned any other 'actual' info from Moon's bone on how they'll be doing air support? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 In the thread "Modeling air support" there is some discussion of the various types of air support available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Dumb question on my part: Is the A-10 stilll flying ground attack missions? I know they've been trying for more than a decade to push the A-10 out in favor of the F-16. It was a bit of a surprise to me to see the A-10 still in use during the invasion 3 years ago. I thought they were transitioning the airframes over to OA-10 (I think that's the designation) for observation missions. So maybe no A-10 straffing missions in CMAK? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Yes, A-10s are still used as tank busters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Cairns Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I wonder if Buzzing will be an option. Flying low and fast over enemy positions to frighten them, get them to go to ground or break cover, but not actually attacking them with ordinance. It's been used in placed like Mogadishu but not really as a combat tactic I think. Peter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
