Dow:soul Storm

[BMANN1019]

Yh, wraith is right. Even if they added the bikes, it wouldn't look they were moving very "bike-like".

[Ihaterednecks]

Would anyone else just prefer an expanded Library of Ground Units than air units? I never used air units much in games, anyhow.

[BMANN1019]

Well of course. That's why i liked dow, because it's one of the few RTS games that never utilized aerial units.

Like I said before.
I would not mind arial units if they were implemented in a similar manner to the aircraft in Act of War.

But if they'll cnc3 style aircraft....

[Lord Rumpuss V]

That's silly!! I mean aircraft that needs to reload its payload and ground troops that has unlimited ammo!? Doesnt make sense they reallly just need to get rid of the whole damn thing alltogether and just make a BFG spinnoff.

And I hate aerial unis theyre for lazy people who hate attacking well dug in enemy units. I mean click bomber send infantry cannon fodder to soak up damage await the bombing run and voila!! dug in enemy's no more!! Not much thought or strategy put into it.

have you played the the CNC series cause its much more harder then that i mean aircrafts are weak in def so you cant just use meatshield cause unless its a stupid AI then a guy will focus his AA units on ur aircrafts. so it does tak some strategy.
like you can send in a whole lot of armor to the front and fly around to the back that probably wont work but thats what i usually do.

[Lord Rumpuss V]

I have played the C&C series when you were still fiddling around with consoles And I'm saying that the series stood out from the c&C clones because it did NOT rely on air units in the first place. And made you feel what it's like to be a grounpunder hamming it up. up close and personal. If you want air units go play C&C and it's ilk but leave DOW out of it. And btw artillery and air units was the most devastating combo of all not heavy armor.
And furthermore there are some stealth units in dow that can easily take out AA guns.

And frankly the Unit Cap will come once again into question. Put like a two unit hardcap on the aerial units and they will only appear more of a feature. Let me put it this way. If I want aerial units I play C&C and it's clones, If I wanted good ol ground based combat I play the dow series.

To be quite honest, I'm not looking forward to this new expansion even if it has 2 more races to add; the expansion just seems to be another way to rake in more cash from fans. The whole idea of aerial units is just lame, Warhammer 40k isn't even about air combat, and dark eldar just suck in general. Relic should have worked on another patch since a patch would atleast fix up Dark Crusade since its so unbalanced. However, DoW 2 would have been the best option, and I don't understand why Relic didn't make the decision to make it.

...? no i'm not familiar with squad pathing. perhaps you could enlighten me?

I'm looking forward to Soul Storm... why? 'cos i iz a unsophistikated teenag3r who lik3$ action. 'nuf said.

Byt air units are a part of 40k, have you heard of the blood pact air cadre? but i do agree, I large amounts of air units wpould ruin the game. I don't want it turning into Empire Earth.

[Terran]

What type of air units will there be ? Just one type or several types ?
Like fighters,cruisers,battleships ?
I would not mind air units as long they will put some defensive structures against air units.
It would be rather stupid if you would have to kill a battlecruisder with Ig Guardsmen.Lmao.

How will they be used ? As a controlable units or support as they were in Company of Heroes ?

If there are going to be air units,good for them.We shall see if they did a good job or not.

I would gladly personally like that they made DOW expansion in SC style.
Mega large zoom scale and units as much as you want.And a Imperium Titan for the IG of course.
