Static Aircraft and Ground vehicles for Strafing
« on: August 05, 2018, 08:24:29 PM »
Add some extra areas to the airfields being flight lines, open tarmac spaces, and airplanes huts.  Just like auto ack and other strats, they get destroyed and have down times.  Add an Aircraft factory and a Vehicle factory as country strats.

Mores stuff to blow up.

    We used to have trains, supply convoys and barges to strafe.  I still se a barge once in a while.

Rod,

My new terrain is being used to introduce the new track\roads\river system. There have been bugs Hitech is adjusting in the path system. When he fixes them and riftval works in rotation, all feilds are supplied by truck convoys while all strat by trains. Selection of how feilds are resupplied is at the terrain builder's discretion from a paths menu. I went with the automated standard which sets trains to strats and convoys to feilds. After 6 months of building my new terrain, that took 5 seconds, then another month of twiddling with every single road and track. Especially since I had 28 rivers with bridges and a road network aside from the supply network. Greebo has a terrain with the new supply system waiting on the result of Hitech fixing the issues that popped up when my new terrain was released. Other than the requirement that resupply paths are now standard, it's on the terrain builder how he wants to do it. You ain't been reading all the posts about the new supply system at all??

Hitech didn't like the spit factory in AW along with how it was utilized as a game mechanic.
