Well, the idea of Counter Insurgency aircraft/ light attack planes as well as ground attack aircraft such as the A-10 have been knocking about the forums since day 1 of the game. Finally I had a bit of time to put the progression and my ideas for the units together. @Germanico @Lord Aodhan what your thoughts on these?
The idea behind the COIN aircraft, is a light weight, cheap and easy to operate attack aircraft. Usually focusing on soft targets. I have made them with balance in mind too. They have weaker anti infantry stats than heli gunship. And comparable anti armor abilities. But obviously have the edge in speed being an aircraft, as well as range too. Early draft and lots to mess around with till its perfect
(Just for reference when looking at stats)
Infantry, Armor, Aircraft, Infra, Surface (naval),Subsurface (subs), missiles, helis, population damage
European COIN/Light attack aircraft and Ground attack plane
American COIN/Light attack aircraft and Ground attack plane
Russian COIN/Light attack aircraft and Ground attack plane
