Hi Pat,
Interesting, but I think a Commanding Officer, or FOO, would have at least requested the type of air support he wanted.
For example, if he wanted a stone bridge KO'd, that would be very relevant to the type of aircraft/ordinance requested. No good sending a whole squadron of rocket laden aircraft, it's not going to help.
As for being able to choose specific aircraft in SP, this is consistent with being able to choose specific vehicles and tanks.
I guess we could let the AI choose our battalion
AND our aircraft, if we wanted to be more realistic.
cheers,
Cross
