[quote=@Willy Vereb] Well, I'm not sure if it works for fighting airships. Albeit it'd be better at that than say facing off against propeller craft with any competitive speed. On the other hand flying infantry would be a small and nimble target which can quickly change directions. that can help albiet the lack of heavy weapons would not. Boarding or planting bombs is your best bet with them, IMO. [/quote] That's the point. They're used to put bombs on sensitive parts of the airship or fuck up the propulsion. [quote=@Willy Vereb] Jetpacks are actually far more realistic than the aircraft engine legs. Not to mention they're two sides of the same coin. It's like allowing T-34 tanks but banning Shermans for the other side. Not to mention this is something I'd do after realizing having flying infantry isn't too bad. [/quote] Again, I'm going to tell you the same thing I told the other guy who brought up realism. Its not supposed to be realistic, I'm saying no for balance. This is supposed to be an RP where real world logic is loosely translated into practicality. Do you think anyone would use such things in the real world? Hell no but that's why we have them here since we can pull this shit off and not have to worry if they're realistic or not. Also as I've said before, you have airships, I see the Striker units as a force that makes up for them but each have their own pros and cons. Think musketeers vs skirmishers in AOE3, both are good infantry units, but they're meant for different things but neither one is any better than the other in most cases. Also, why the sudden change of heart to flying infantry? You seemed pretty happy with your current army up until now. What happened?
