wtf, T-80, Apaches, MLRS don't make sense to me in ww2

 

[klemen]

Not enough models, I had to use all I found up here.

I might replace t-80 with a different model. I couldn't find any chopper model from ww2, I think those weren't used a lot that time and about mlrs-you can imagine it as a russian katjuša.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Bah, you don't need so many units anyway. Maybe if maps like Storm over Europe are still around you would be able to rip models from them. But what a hell, chopper from ww2?

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Uh... there weren't any helicopters in WW2.

Nazis had several.
And I'll download it and play it when you make "road to washington".

Am I blind? I don't see the helis?

New version coming up in few days. I replaced most of modern models with ww2 ones, but the chopper stays (I need some strategic air vehicle).


@bounty hunter: You get them (one actually-apache) after several upgrades.

It's called an 'airplane'. It's not really thát hard.

And I got some big critique about something: Change or fix the damn terrain, it looks hidious.

 

[Ghost765]

why not have no air vehicles, and just make an ability like an airstrike where it calls in an airplane to strafe or bomb?

The problem with "airplane" is, that you can't use it like normal controllable unit, because it looks stupid when it gyroscopes in the air and it doesn't move. So I'm using planes only as a bombarding ability.

About the terrain: Few more details, what's bad what should be changed?

I already have this.

Illidan Evil X made a realistic airplane movement system in the Modern Warfare map, where you can select the plane but if it reaches the specific target order etc, the plane starts to circulate around the point. It looks really cool actually.
Maybe you should ask him?

@airplanes: I will think about it, but since airfields now have second upgrade, airplane section is mostly covered. I will think about making some scout planes or something similar.

There may have been helicopters around WW2, but they were not used in combat. Seriously, it just looks weird.
