Just a litle thing regarding helicopters and infantry engaging them whit rifles. Could it be made so that infantry could not engage helos at high altitude? I think this would make a nice touch to the game when the player would have to balance on wheter to fly low relatively safe from SAMS but not from infantry or fly high and not worry about infantry but be at a higher risk of beign engaged by SAMS & AA-guns.
What do you think?

then you would be back to the original SSI version, where helicopters could fly over infantry at will, revealing all the ambushes etc, if the enemy force had nil or low AA, it was night etc.

By allowing infantry to drive off any helos nearby or oveerflying, it makes e.g. the Vietnam type games less of a walk-over for USA player.

And helicopter "high" is not very high - still within small arms engagement zone.

Wouldn't be a better solution to decrease the helos' spotting ability on high altitude and restrict rifle shots on them?

One minor OOB suggestion, re: Canada.

The ADATS (Air Defence Anti-Tank System) in the game is AA only (can't be used to shoot tanks, even though in real life they load TOW missiles, I believe). Would it be possible to code the ADATS to engage tanks as well as aircraft?

One other suggestion: add Venezuela OOB, make Pat Robertson happy?

Apart from that, keep it up. Love the game and can't wait for the patch.

Hmm - have you actually tried firing it at AFV type targets?

Special code exists for ATATS - and the missile is dual-purpose, they dont load TOW

Sorry to be obtuse - but do you mean the ADATS can shoot AFVs in WinMBT? I have to admit that this was a suggestion that carried over from SPMBT, so no, I haven't tried it.

BTW - I used to live in Edinburgh too (Dalkeith Road). In Canada now.
