Jason,

From what I can find out on JTCS, There is a lot of BIG BUGS to be worked out of ALL three games; LCG, DCG, Some scenarios that are in the game NOT working right, in EF II, WF, & RS. If I had to put it ALL down for you it would take me a few mouths to tell you everything thats bad. Its great that someone has gotten it to work on the higher platforms of operating systems.

If I had to put it on a scale of percentage; RS-80% bugs worked out, EF II-70%, & WF-65%. I fell its going to take a lot of people putting in long hours to get a PATCH for this one to get it right.

Also, I have not gotten my hard disk game from Matrix yet. The order was to be shipped out on July 6th, 9 days ago.

If, an when there is a patch for the game I'd like something to be added; "When you are doing air attacks, fix it where you can say what plane you would like to use for this attack." NONE of the games will let you do this. Like maybe, your going after a pillbox; P-47D, P-51. If the P-51 is at the top of the aircraft list. Thats the one thats going to be used for the attack. A person should be asked what type of plane to use for this attack in the game, then double-click on the plane type from the list of available aircraft. Air attack is then set. This chose is not given to you. "Why"

If I can help you guys out in anyway just ask.

Thanks for your time,
Sub Jockey

The game doesn't support that, which is logical. Ground troops couldn't pick the type of airplanes they wanted support from. As a designer I usually try to figure out what airplanes where present historically. On this scale all planes were usually from the same group. So for example in 2 WF Scheldt scenarios that will be available in the next patch, the Allies will have only Typhoons as close air support reflecting the support by 84. Group that consisted of Typhoons.

Huib,
 
I understand what you are saying, But some scenarios call for 2 or 3 different type of planes. If I was designing a scenario, Then I fell your statement is correct. But one that is DCG or someone else has designed, To me your statement is false then. Unless you factoring in that ALL planes have bombs all the the time, this would be false also. If a scenario is DCG in a campaign with 2 or more type of aircraft, then I fell that from the available air point list, I should be able to pick the type of aircraft to hit a target.
 
Picture me asking the guy in the plane to hit a pillbox. He tells me that all he has is bullits. I'm going to tell him to fly home, and be safe. Because your not much good to me with that under your wings.
