lukeiamyourdad Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Hehe I really have to start a new thread... I was wondering how anti-air would be managed here. What do you think would be best? And waht about anti-wehicles weaponry? Simple Ion cannons? Or do we need weird un-star warsy rocket launcher?
swphreak Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Well, certain Laser Cannons are good vs Starships. There is also the Proton Torpedo Launcher for missiles... And the Hailfire droid's Hailfire Missiles.
eastcoast2895 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 i think that ground troops should get something to take down air vehicles. maybe it could be a special class with mini proton torpedoes or something. and who is to say that rocket launchers are "un-star warsy". there were rocket launchers in the clone wars cartoon shorts and the rocket launcher in jedi academy doesn't seem out of place.
RoxStar Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I think you just spot one, hop on, and blast down some ties/ X-wings, clone transports.
Father Torque Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I bet it is gonna be like the BF:1942 anti air gun where it can swivel 360 degrees, and can go 90 degrees upwards. Except they will be larger like the guns in episode two when the clones take down the star ship. Also maybe smaller laser cannons will be available. I sure hope they dont have built in guns, that would make it look two ww2 like, and probably ruin the star wars feeling.
The_One Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Yes, there should be a mountable anti air cannon, or similar, at each side's base. Then one class should get an anti-air rocket launcher of sorts - however, they should be virtually immobile when they have this armed. That should balance things out

That would also encourage other teammates to cover the guy with the anti air missiles, since he would be vulnerable
ExcelsioN Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I think that you should either have an infantry-man with an anti-air rocket launcher, or one who can set up a mobile anti-air turret. I don't want any immobile ones, it would be too similar to BF1942.
Alegis Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I think there will be stationary ones of course.. and i got this feeling there will be some on certain vehicles
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 19, 2004 Author Posted January 19, 2004 For Geonosis we'll probably get a Rocket droid thingie(damn forgot the name). You'll have mobile AA, I guess. Besides, Desert Combat has mobile AA and it's not so bad.
ExcelsioN Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Originally posted by lukeiamyourdad You'll have mobile AA, I guess. Besides, Desert Combat has mobile AA and it's not so bad. So does BF1942:SWoWWII (long name ). It's much more fun than sitting in a turret all day long.
eastcoast2895 Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 just wanted to note that in the new trailer there is a rebel with a rocket launcher that takes out an atst easily. maybe it will do the same to space fighters.

Indeed there is, but a simple rocket launcher ain't the best anti-air you can get. You know the Stingers in DC? Only thing you could hit were choppers flying at a very low speed.
Sounds Risky Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 I've taken down planes with Stingers, it's not that hard. It's especially satisfying to take out an A-10.
T10 Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 Torpedoes? You're not actually planning on hitting anything, are you? You should be able to use concussion missles instead. Much faster. Homing too. Oh, and heavy weapon goons should be able to use thier E-Webs thingys against aircraft.
ExcelsioN Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 Hopefully they'll include anti-air troop classes. If they don't, the planes will be as hard to kill as in BF1942. That is...when they swoop down low and massacre a group of infantry. I'll always remember the time that I took down a plane with a bazooka.
Elite Jedi Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 Hmm. Homing missiles would be fun. Also do u think it better when vehicles blow up like in 1942 or like in Halo when its just the player dies.

Also do u think it better when vehicles blow up like in 1942 or like in Halo when its just the player dies. Well obviously the vehicle will blow up. If you look at the trailer, the rebel trooper does blow up the AT-ST. Blowing them up is better. Then they can't just pick it up so easily. You have to go around and steal vehicles from the enemy base which makes it a bit funnier and harder of course.
T10 Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 Well, pilots can hijack vehicles. So, I think that walkers should only explode when they fall over or get destroyed, but flying things just crash when their pilot dies. Funny.
Silent_Thunder Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 I wonder if we'll be able to safely eject while speeding towards our target... effectively using our vehicle as a missle?

I don't know, ejection systems aren't made so you can jump off and survive when flying at 200 km/h, 5 m from the ground...
dark jedi 8 Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 i think it probably will be hard to use spaceships in some levels. like endor because of the trees, and maybe hoth because they might not be adapted to the cold like in the movie. anyway i hope the heavy weapons unit will have anti-air rockets, or your side will have a ship to shoot down theirs or something.
joesdomain Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 I don't think ground units should have specialized weapons to shoot down air units. I think they should just use whatever ground weapon they have such as a blaster, rifle, or possibly thermal detonator.
