Here's a little point.
1) Find/build an orca
2) Target it
3) read what it saysOrca VTOL *Assault* Craft
Should be changed to Support Craft to get the point through people's heads:
Aircraft are to support ground vehicles, not for a lone Rambo assault...

The one thing that might give aircraft an edge (besides more armor) is lockable rockets. I mean, you'd think a state-of-the-art bird like an Orca would have a fancy laser designator. Secondly, Mammoths should also get upgraded armor and lockable longer-range rockets so people might actually use them in their strongest role - defense - instead of taking them on the field to feed to the jackals. In TD, Mammoths were incredible anti-air defensive units - why not in Renegade?

Probably because there are enough anti-air units already. If a mammoth was anti-air also...  It would be "The Ultimate". So many people say the mammoth tank is unbalanced and should have more to it, but the truth is... It shouldn't. All a mammoth tank needs is support, and I think that is one of the reasons ww made the air units. They excel as support units. Teamwork is often the key

Orcas and Apaches make good tank crushers though. Like in the old TD days  And pretty good for base defense, but that's about all the use you'll get out of em.

Wow, now that I think about it, orcas and apaches are designed like they were in TD. A few rocket troopers could nail any air unit in seconds, and if you wanted some real good air defense, ten recon bikes always worked real well to destroy efficiently. Hmmm... Looks like they are staying true to C&C a little bit...

i didn't read through all of the posts because there was so many, but i just wanted to say (sorry if this was already said) but that's the way it was in the beginning of the beta everyone was doing aircraft but toward the end it wasn't that way, so it'll turn eventually
