"Why you gotta pick my glider!" "You vulched my glider, I was just about to land troops!!"


Other than the gripes, we should really upgrade the planes we have in game already. I'd like to also see additions of new planes to fulfill the holes in our plane set.

Gliders might be cool if they "spawned" similarly to the way GV's can spawn near enemy fields.  Have them spawn at a certain altitude, so they could glide on in...
