Lotean Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 SMG's anyone? I only think this would be a cool addition because well of the time period and the type of combat that we're facing. Maybe some kind of 'mid game' research option that allows for smaller, more compact machine guns that take up less weight but produce around the same firepower. Secondly, what about some kind of close air support craft? I know the Huey was still in service from vietnam and the F -14 I believe was relegated to this role as well. I just think that it would be more interesting to have more involved in the 'over world' sense. Like if in the 'air' part of the combat the main craft's escorts weren't dealt with properly then they could help out when you tried to assault the downed craft... The aliens are interested in strafing highways after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 SMG's will be in (they're actually in the current build). They're called Carbines. They replace the shotgun at the higher tiers. To clarify: There are no Laser or Plasma shotguns, there are plasma and laser carbines instead. Which are somewhat like an SMG (short-range, rapid fire light weapons). As for in-mission close air support, its not going to be in. Balance issues. It'd basically be a Blaster Bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdevil Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yeah whole lot of trouble comes in if you bring in aircraft strafing, off map artillery etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
