      What if under the helicopter tree, we had helo gun ships and attack helo's for tier 1 and 2, and then CAS aircraft for tier 3?

      so western attack chain might go cobra, viper, warthog
      eastern is i think alligator, ???, the frogfoot
      euro would be whatever/whatever/pucara

      I know this will tick off the historical accuracy crowd, but it seems like a compromise that could work, no?
      Personally, I wouldnt like this. They should be seperate,
      think about carriers and LHDSs (eventually :P )
      Yeah you are right about the LHD's... I forgot about that.. it seems like the dream that may never happen .. sigh.. :/ ||

      I don't think due to the overlap that they will ever appear then.

      Remember that no one ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb idiot die for his country.

      The COIN and ground attack?

      Yes thats true, although Id say thats no issue having overlap, with small differences... It would take unnessary time off the devs when they could be working on LHD's :P

    • No idea when this thread was made but I just found it, So I am going to comment on it!

      So, COIN Aircraft = Gunship Helicopters with greater range
      and CAS Aircraft = Better Strike Fighters but stronger against Armor and Infantry?

      I mean, I'd go for the COIN Aircraft if they can be produced without an Arms Industry and are extremely cheap to produce.

    • Other countries have their own version of the A-10, Such as the Su-25 (?) Frogfoot, and the uh, I have no idea what the European version of the A-10 is. Pls help.

    • I'd agree we don't anymore units to research because there are enough, but it is fun to fantasize about these kinds of things and you got me excited that someone responded to my question about my account.. and then I click on the 1 and it was this thread. then i was sad :(
