Indeed, that was a great mistake. But on the other hand, you can't deny that air bombing is really powerful, specially if you take in count that its more accurate (obviously, talking about laser guided bombs) than artillery strikes (except the MLRS, which can be as accurate as a guided bomb/missile).
tl:dr
Yeah, the developers made a huge mistake. Bombers are powerful, but so is artillery.

I liked more the unit balance in Advance Wars 2 (even when I felt that battleship strikes could be more powerful, taking in count the massive cannons that those things had).

Yes, put some AA Artilleries and SP Rocket Artilleries (+1 scout because of sight ), and almost no one can go near you! You only need to care about energy... Yes, the game is not completely balanced, but if we count similar games to PC... (not GBA or other consoles). I'm also using the "heavy" tanks - what is it's name? When I have a bit more time, I'm continue the campaign...

Artillary can e pretty damn accurate with a good spotter -_- i can hit things as small as a truck at 12 miles distance calling in artillary and naval guns

nah, more of a fan of DOA and Tekken really :p

[CaptBrenden]

I dont normaly like fighting games but I enjoy DOA. especialy the newest one, cut I get to play as a female spartan


Yeah, my specilty was indirect fire such as mortars and artillary, but the same skills are used for calling in air strikes and naval guns.  They can be very accurate if the caller is good. the gun crews just put in data and fire what is called.  I dont even think you can fire artillary directly (you can with mortars) but i think the minimum range  for arty prevents it.      Still, a target as big as a truck can be hit directly with a 120 howitzer, so its pretty accurate.  Plus, artillary fires in barages normaly, so they pound the whole area so accuracy really isnt so imporatnt... its pretty indescriminate that way.. dont call it if friendlies are there and so on.

I'm enjoying Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
on the PS3, as well as my old PS2 favorite
Hot Shots Golf Fore!, which plays perfectly
on the new platform.

now playing Gears of War! and its worth the hype! this game is the shit!  I had a buddy over yesterday to play co op on it, and he had a PS3 (just returned it because he was unhappy with it)  and he loved it as well, saying it looked better then anything he had played on the PS3 including resitance of man.. their key title. Go 360!  

Bad ass game, stresses beign smart in combat rather then run and gun. The controls take some getting used to but you pick them up fast and when you do its a blast to play.  The gameplay is kept interesting and your always having to find new ways to solve the problems presented to you, and its a great party game. We were doing a house warming and the co op controlers just kept getting passed around, kept us all interested for a long while.  Hell we would have kept plaing but the wives kept dragging people home

We have front line experience!  ;010
Indeed, artillery can be really accurate, But if we're talking about a moving target (like a tank), *I think * a missile or a GBU bomb (well...maybe with current bombs that would be overkill...) would do the job better than an artillery barrage (and a portable antitank missile would do the job better than an air strike, in terms of collateral damage and availability). Less collateral damage.

But hell, we are talking about a different topic now  ;026

Still playing Gadget trial. only 5 more missions. Oh noes!!! The Continental Army strikes back!

[SleepyD]

now playing Navyfield.

WWII ships ftw!

......I rarely play online, and for something I believe that will get me addicted, this is a new thing for me.

[CaptBrenden]

I enjoy it emensly.. I just dont do it very often. Like I love Battlefeild 2, but I just dont play it very often.. ill play for a whole day and not touch it for months

[Darknight_88]
