It seems like a good idea, but this is still an MMOFS (Massively Multiplayer Online Flight Simulator).  I hope that the system can handle all of the frames nessecary (trust me, you'd practically need a whole other game to fight for the maproom with a decent interface).

In short, what difference does it make.

Eye candy.

I've noticed something. You fixate on details and seem to ignore the idea as a whole. By itself, better weapons adds nothing. But add that along with improved (or added) AI as myself and others have suggested, and you have a new, fun aspect of the game. Set them up to shoot the other guy's troops, or have them blow up a couple GV's if they don't get machine gunned. In addition to those ideas, you can still have them function as they do now. You loose nothing and gain quite a bit.

Dont they have other games for all that?

Thats all we need is some little cartoon doosh emptying a BAR into our cockpit as we fly by. This is a flight sim not an infantry sim. Thumbs down.

I dunno.  I'd think it'd be funny the first time it happened to you.  I know I would probably laugh if I were taking off and a little infantry guy ran up and blazed away at me.

Would piss you off if you tried to up a 262 and every time some troop nails you. Speaking of which, we need to add bears and cougars to the forests.

Hell, I aim for the church first, but a school would change that. And I want a homeless dude lying in a corner of the hangers. With a cardboard box off to his right and a bottle of whisky in his hand  :D.

 Troops with different assignments? I like this idea.ANYthing to make base capture harder is a good thing. Troops defending the base? Whats the down side? Seriously. AI controlled troops holding the base. I like it. Would be a pain to implement,but sure would be fun.

Thats about the only thing. It would be a pain for for the coders. That and I suppose if you give them any substantial fire power they may knock down a few zekes.

But seriously, it would be a good idea to add into the game, since we don't have any infantry to fight against.  And the pain for the coders strawman, don't you think that the new WWI arena was difficult to implement? 

Yes, that's the idea, that they could do a little damage to A/C, maybe even tanks near zone bases.  If we could do it, base taking would have a whole other side to it: actually thinking about if and where you will drop the paratroopers, and when they should come down.
