Elmar Bijlsma Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 In my my home made Allied General v CMAK/CMBB campaigns aircraft feature quite largely because of the way the Allied General campain insists on having them around but I could not find them in any CMC screenies. I hope you guys found some way of including them in CMC because in big battles it can be quite exciting to have aircraft of one side or both roaming the skies looking for ground stuff to shoot up. It does open up a can of worms though. How would air units be structured and how would the player utilize them and destroy them other then relying on AA on the CMBB map. Some special combat calculations for air to air combat would be required on the operational level. I realize that all that might not be worth while given the relatively marginal influence of airpower on the tactical battle field. I just hope it has not been disgarded lightly as it adds a nice extra layer to the tactical battles and might just be that extra little spice in the operational game too. Any word on this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 In CMCx2 you'll be able to fire up an interface with Il-2 and fly the air support yourself... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Syrians still use IL-2s and there like!?! With the US air force being overpowered the way they are that will not be any fun unless BFC unrealisticly overpower 1944 Luftwaffe. Which wouls suxxor. Thats it, I will not be buying the CMx2 ww2 game either! btw, we have a seperate CMx2 forum section now. Go complain about it there, you worthless person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I couldn't find any mention of airsupport in the web pages. At an operational level, the modelling of airforces should also include interdicting troop movements and (level) bombing entrenched positions in some form or other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 There weren't very many instances where airborne units were deployed by paradrops in the Eastern Front, so it doesn't seem worthwhile to include. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 The short answer is that we have a design for air support but don't expect to get it into the first release of the game. I do hope to put it in later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Pollock Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Agreed, but I was wearing my "what if" cap when I wrote that.
