Can somebosy fix the problem where whenever there is a bombing run against the rebellion PLEX Soldiers always fire rockets at the Bombers while in a bunker(And eneveitably destroy it). I honestly do not think rockets from soldiers would be accurate enought to hit bombers like that. I would ask to remove this issue.
Rejected:
-For plex troopers to be strogn against air units is a game mechanic, not a glitch
-general consensus against

well, that's what they're ment to do. rocket units, AA units ad AA gins are ment to take down bombers, speeders and such.

think bout this from a tactical perspective. You are the commander. You need an airstrike, but there's several AA units near the target. What do you do first? Personally, I'd just take out the AA units (PLEX bunker), then bomb the garbage outta the target. Real - Life generals are somewhat skittish about sending manned bombers into AA nests.

BOTTOM LINE: Kill the bunker first. PLEX troops bother the #$!%$ outta me, but they're logical.

i don't use bombing runs near AA units, if they have bunkers then i nuke it from orbit.

The rockets are meant to lock onto things. That's their point.

Yes, I don't it should change. It adds relislim & Stargedy

Well, means everybody practically said the same thing, I think were done in this Topic

yeah, they would act as shoulder-launched SAMS if turned skyward.

Django (sunfalcon) · « **Reply #11 on:** November 11, 2008, 01:23 am »

for all you non military fans SAM stands for Surface to Air Missile.

Sage · « **Reply #12 on:** November 11, 2008, 02:14 am »

Plex troopers aren't that too good of an aim when you actually watch them fire at light vehicles and troopers.

e^(πi)+1=0 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 11, 2008, 02:16 am »

they almost always hit vehicles, actually. They are homing, its not their skill in aiming.

Dr. Doozer · « **Reply #14 on:** November 11, 2008, 02:28 am »

The rocket launcher is supposed to take out vehicles. Any vehicle, or at least lock onto it. That's their point. This would be removing an element of real military actions if it were to go.

They do have a very good point.

How about a separate AA mode? So they must be have their PLEX tube in AA mode to fire on fast moving air targets, whilst in said mode they can't target ground targets.

Makes sense.

New special ability? I agree that.

If you had an AA weapon and an air unit came at you wouldn't you use it? People want me to improve the AI but you want to have dummy soldiers.

Django (sunfalcon) · « **Reply #19 on:** November 15, 2008, 10:44 pm »

I agree with solar leave it as it is.

aceofhicks · « **Reply #20 on:** November 15, 2008, 11:08 pm »

As do I

Dr. Doozer · « **Reply #21 on:** November 16, 2008, 08:20 pm »

I've never seen the issue in it, so I say leave it as it is.
