Re: Artillery in FS?

Well artillery wasn't meant for a ship's job either. The ion cannon on Hoth was only used for space, so that wouldn't be good either. Hmmmm....

Re: Artillery in FS?

Just have the Rebels use the Star Wars version of self-propelled or towed artillery.

Right, but that's extended universe, something the devlopers aren't going to go into with their first release.

Re: Artillery in FS?

Most all of the kits have EU weapons, so why can't EU artillery be on the map?

Re: Artillery in FS?

I don't really see the issue here. If there where no aircraft in that map then orbital bombardment could be used. If there where no ships and no aircraft in a map then that map shouldn't have artillery support.

Re: Artillery in FS?

I agree with ArcAngel, especially in the case of Hoth, the rebels didn't have arty in the movie, and its a one way assault map anyway, the dug-in trenches and stationary defense weapons are what they're using.  The orbital bombardment makes sense for the imps cause they had ISDs orbiting the planet.  This would make Hoth way more interesting and "realistic" (faithful to the movie) because it would place way more importance on the shield generator (Imps wouldn't be able to use orbital arty until shield goes down).
