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.
