Strafing Runs

[SonofAres800]

Hi guys, UFO:AI is the best turn-based strategy game i have ever played (currently playin 2.2)

I was readin da UFOpedia on the TR-20 rocket launchers and it made me think about the possibility of allowing specific fighters to use these things for strafing runs on particular parts of a map. This would coincide with another guys idea about fighter escorts (thanks to whoever you are, would fix up a big pain in the backside) and the fighters would unload their payload on a that part of the map.

To target these, maybe a soldier would have to carry a flare and wait 1 or 2 turns before all hell rains loose.

Just an idea and i realise how hard it would to create animaitions for this, but it would add another feature used in modern warfare.

If you're talking about air-strikes or dropping bombs and such, this has already been proposed and vetoed in the past, at least for the official standard campaign.

Really? Guess it mustve been ages ago.

at least for the official standard campaign.

What do you mean by that?

What do you mean by that?

As far as I know there are plans for alternate campaigns for single-player, in addition to the standard main game, or at least there are plans to have the game capable of running alternate campaigns.

We also have a section here for modding and such.
