Give the naval anti aircraft fire!!!

[John Falkner]

Without aircraft carriers, ships are complete unprotected.

This is a must for the AEGIS Cruiser!

 

[Ian Beale]

yeah i made a similar point in an earlier thread- maybe instead of becoming damaged they can inflict damage on an aircraft. I don't think they should slug it out in one to one combat though

 

[sealman]

a good idea but there is much more that needs fixing in the naval aspect of this game before this should even be an issue.

btw: the aa should be a weaker version of the sam defense system

 

[Ian Beale]

yeah i agree like the UN!

 

[John Falkner]

Yes, i also think it must be weaker than the Sam´s, but the AA should often damage a plane. Maybe we can change this in the editor of Conquest .

all units need some kind of defense against planes. I feel sorry for the poor AI as my 20 bombers reduce their SoD to walking dead.

 

[John Falkner]

I think some sort of moveable AAA guns for the ground are useful too. Such as the german "Gepard" or the russian "ZSU-23"

 

[Ivan the Kulak]

Good idea. Another point would be to have different effects depending on what type of aircraft is attacking. If you're getting hit by WWII fighters, battleships and destroyers should be able to hit them with AA fire, but only modern units like the AEGIS should be able to defend against hi tech jets and stealth aircraft. This might take a bit of oomph away from battleships (they have too much power anyway). We may need more ships for this - a WWII class carrier vs modern carrier, to reflect the modern carrier's ability to defend against jets with its own jet fighters, etc.

 

[Iztvan]

I agree. AA Ground and Naval units are needed.

I've tried making a AAA city improvement with (roughly) half the value of a SAM, that was available with Replaceable parts.

Then I remembered something extremely important:

I had NO IDEA what the Hell I was doing.


I wish someone that DID know would get the same idea.


Later!

lol- i know the feeling! If someone could introduce this it would be good though- as aircraft are far too powerful in Civ 3 and PTW

You could always place a request over in the C&C forum. But be sure not to place it in the complete items forums or you will get slapped on the hand like a bad kid in a Catholic School.

(not insulting anyone, just had a vision of my nun teacher's slapping my hand with the rule when ... it is not important)
