spy planes?

Postby Trident » Tue Apr 03, 2007 4:26 am

Now i know people are going to object, ive read alot of really dumb ideas for new units too. but hey i decided to give my input anyways.
here goes..
ive heard the idea about the satelite and i dont like it either but what about a spy plane? why not? the U-2 and SR71 played a very large role in the cold war and would be fitting with the game.
the rules would be as such...
-only 1 per airbase and could only be launched from aibases.
-radar range equal to that of carrier
-biggest fuel range, able to fly around the world (in a straight line only).
-very fast, faster than the fighters.
-high altitude, can't be touched by silo or battleship AA fire, but could be easily shot down by fighters given they can catch it in time.
-could only be launched during defcon 3 or 2, this would give them a limited time of use.
well thats my idea, but i still think they wont change a thing.

Fighters already effectively function as 'spy planes'. An additional unit is unnecessary and overly complicates things.
