Jets/Planes(air combat and control) | Forums

[Nicorius]

Ok in Endwar the most air units you were given were helicopters then you could call in off map airstrikes.

In ruse we should get airfeilds or be able to call in planes (bombers,fighters scout planes) and also jets from off map.

Control of the air should be vital or else one side will be able to bomb all the opposing side (germanies) forces.

For example the battle of the bulge was one of the more well known battles for the end of the war.

One of the only reasons that it was capable of being launched by the Germans was because of the wheater there were no allied planes for a while that allowed the german units to move in undetected.

So controlling the air should be vital to the succes of either side.

Or else they will bomb and machine gun all the units of the side without air power and that will make the game to one sided in favour of the allies.

So what do you think about air control and combat.

There is gameplay videos these show that bombers are ingame. And it has been said that going for air power early in the game is an option. I don't think there will be much off map support, though. I do belive in air power and i hope there is a few muniton types to choose from, there were some nasty stuff used in the war after all.

I prefer to have all units on the battle field so I can use mass airstrikes if I have properly prepared for it. Like in Supreme Commander (which this is very similar too) you could go for mass bombers or whatever you wanted. It gives you more control of your strategy and it is really neat to have a giant enemy column coming towards you but a million (ok maybe not QUITE that many) bombers fly overhead and destroy everything.

Air power should be key but since this is WWII it should be more for disruption (bombing cities, paratrooper/commando raids) then close air support as that was generally very dangerous (hard to tell who is who).

I think you might want to change the topic name as there were not jet's in WWII. But i agree that air power should be a very important point in the game.
