Re: Teamwork-Orientated Vehicles

Although this isn't GC, I suppose that aspect would be similar; be either incontrol of some type of secondary weapon such as the Ion Cannon or the bombs, or mabye a repair feature? But the vehicle you're thinking of is called the Cloud Car. But when un-needed features are added to games, it's usualy just to increase the game-play value.

Re: Teamwork-Orientated Vehicles

Re: Teamwork-Orientated Vehicles

aren't the imperial bombers two seated?
also will there be a Galactic Civil War era and a Clone Wars era? If so, it would make this mod even more popular and bring mre people to the community because i remember playing GC and there wouldn't be hardly anyone, the most i've ever saw on one game is 8 or 9 and they only had like 4 or 5 servers hosting the mod but only two really had any people play on theirs.

Re: Teamwork-Orientated Vehicles

I believe both eras you mentioned above will be covered. Each era will have their own release, from what I remember.

Re: Teamwork-Orientated Vehicles

I feel that the only problem of the co-pilot being the gunner is that nearly no one knows how to fly in order to give the gunner a good shot.  in all of the battlefield games people just dont trust the gunner, i've been in the back trying to get a shot on an enamy fighter when the pilot has decided to attack it themselves.  if anything the co-pilot should be more of a bombidier then just a gunner.  this could work by giving them a bottom down look as they fly to a target.  it promotes team work as well as not overpowering one person.  the co-pilot could also be the gunner as well but just have a new alternite fire and fire button to access the bombs.

if none of this could work i'm sorry for wasting forum space.:P

I give my life for the Empire so that others my wipe the scurge of the Rebelion from the Universe.

!LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!

Only in SWBF2. And we all know how accurate that is (Victory 2 Frgates, anyone? ISDs with side hanagrs??).

Still, we could have 2 seater variants simply for balance...

For the ground missions, the Y-Wing and T/B could both be 2 seater, with the copilot aiming the bombs (they could aim in a circle from the bottom of the bomber. Probably the best way to have this is with a down looking camera on the right mouse click. The pilots would get lasers only, for teamwork purposes. The Y-Wing has an ion cannon turret as well, which could be fired by the copilot - obviously he cant fire it and the bombs at the same time, making the Y-Wing not too amazing. Unfortunately this makes it outcalss the T/B. I'd suggest a few options to balance this:

-Remove the turret form the ground Y-Wing
-Give the T/B pilot unguided torps as well (essentially rockets).
-Give the T/B copilot a gun turret (not very canon)
-Make the T/B a lot faster (as they should be) and have slightly stronger hull.

Continuing..

For the space missions, obviously the bombs aren't needed. Instead, they can both have lock-on torpedoes (pilot operated) The Y-Wing copliot can again fire the turret, and the T/B is probably best left a one seater (maybe a speed bonus again?)
