Can we control where the bombs/shells/strafing will be?

of course, if you can gain the reinforcement.

 

[olliewilliams01]

so... how will that work? will the planes fly over once, drop their bombs, then fly out of the scene?

I hope you will actually have to use radio dudes to call in planes and artillery.

Agree, some times the radioman and communicators are useless.

nakajima ki 27 "nate". 1610 tris

 

[Eumolpus]

Awesome!

 

[The Bowman]

WOW

 

[olliewilliams01]

that looks AMAZING. i still dont understand how airstrikes will work though.

 

[WilliamBerne]

like the real world, the plane fly through the battlefield, it will find the target and shoot or bomb.

ps: the AI controls the planes movements (here AI means my scripts, not the other lords).

 

[The Bowman]

Fighter "Zero" will be implemented ?

thank you Swadian Man at Arms, I also find some pics myself, mostly from here http://www.aviastar.org/air/japan/index.html
I can't simply make some model because I can find some big clear picture of it, the model has to show up before 1938.
so for the japanese planes, I have choosed Kawasaki Ki-32 MARY (1937), Mitsubishi A5M CLAUDE (1935), Mitsubishi G3M (1934), Mitsubishi Ki-15  C5M BABS(1936), Nakajima ki34 (1936), and Nakajima Ki-27 (1936).
I have finished G3M and Ki-27, Ki-34 is waiting for texture, today it should be done.

DO WANT.

Will we be able to specify which particular area we want strafed though?
Perhaps we can have a button which lets us launch a signal flare/smoke marker or something?

of coure, have done that 1 week ago.

when all the battlefield functions have been done, the player can use different keys and different smokes to mark where and what they want, red smoke marks bombing postion, blue marks squard postion, green for others.

Nakajima ki34 transporter, 2210 tris.

 

[The Bowman]

Very nice !

Edit: This is a fighter or light bomber ?

 

[WilliamBerne]

it's a transporter.
I'm making these not only for bombing, but also for scenes.
at that time japanese had also paratroops, maybe I will use them in some particular situation.
