Then don't hang around or above {4-5k} from our base!

Like I always tell the enemy when one of our ACK's or Osties takes them out of the sky, don't come to the enemy field and we won't shoot a ya :aok

Besides how many times have you heard "oh ok, I'll deack the field, gimme a second"  like it's no big deal {which most of the time it isn't} Be a little different ballgame when some serious shells come up to meet ya!

IMO EVERYTHING should be mannable.

No AI guns at all. You should wonder when you dive in on a field if anyone is there? Am I being targeted even now?

88's should also be capable of shooting tanks approaching.  And make the manned gun at a vehicle field an 88 while your at it.

Should have choice between fuzeable AA, HE, AP ammo.

agree with Ghosth. all guns manable would be an interesting test.

HiTech told me in an interview a while back that Pyro was looking at a towed artillery piece.  It would make sense to use a dual-use weapon like the 88, one that could be used for artillery bombardment as well as in the anti-tank mode.  Terrain editors could put little revetments around towns and strat targets for players on the defense to set up the "arty" in.
