Unknown Quantity posted:I'm gonna go ahead and vote Max as well. I know it probably doesn't matter for the next mission, but do his abilities affect his air units? I know they do in the sequels but I never bothered to use planes as Max in AW1, preferring to spam Tanks and Md Tanks instead, filling my ranks with like 10 Tanks and 4-5 middies and leading them forward in a death march that annihilated anything that wasn't chokepoint hell. Oh yes they do. Air battles are even better as it doesn't have his main weakness. Max from me too

Roll over, Andy, it's time for Max power! The first time I played through this game's campaign, I went in totally unaware of the branching paths. I'll look forward to how you show them off.

Wow I just read the first post and was surprised that you could get an S rank in this game. I played all the way through and never got a single S rank. This is after I completed Dual Strike with a "A" campaign rank. Now I feel bad and am going back to play it again

Argh not this again! "Sorry guys, next updates gonna be a little bit late" *Next update is a month later* Also I did like how all the different armies had a theme to their units, in that they're all loosely based off real-world units, I could probably name them unless you'd rather I didn't Paul.

Hopefully it won't be quite so bad this time, most of the AW1 missions are shorter at least. And yeah, sure, feel free to identify the real-world units being used. Might get tricky with old-timey Yellow Comet though.

Here are some handy sprites sheets, they are from AW2 but the units are the same besides the new Neo Tank: Land Units Air and Sea Units It's also a nice touch that they even bothered to make the tiny map infantry sprites match their side too (vehicles look the same though).

The Orange Star and Green Earth fighters are, respectively, the F-15 Eagle and A-10 Thunderbolt(affectionately nicknamed the 'Warthog'). I am kind of amused by this, since in reality, the A-10 is a dedicated ground-attack craft that never does any dogfighting whatsoever, yet apparently in Eagle's hands it can shoot down air-superiority fighters.

I've always liked the appearance of the Black Hole fighter. It looks more like some sort of alien rocket plane rather than a jet. The Yellow Comet Medium tank looks wonderfully ridiculous too, it's great.

Well, A-10s CAN be equipped with Sidewinders, but I have no idea if an A-10 has ever actually shot down anything. Also, the A-10 is the BEST GODDAMNED PLANE. It has a GAU-8 Avenger built in. Oh, do you not know what's so awesome about the GAU-8?  That's how big it is. Here's the round it fires:  Yep. The Warthog is awesome.

I love how wonderful A-10s are and hate how no game seems to get them right. BF3 has come the closest but after they made it a dedicated anti-ground tank with a main cannon that demolishes vehicles. Yet after doing so much so good in a game with absolutely amazing sound direction otherwise they just used the same plane machine gun the air superiority jets has. It's utterly disappointing to get into the A-10 and instead of hearing the MINIGUN FART OF THE VULCAN SUNDERING ENEMY ARMOR you just hear "Bzzzzzz". Also, I think my favorite Md Tank is the Green Earth one which has treads as big as the Green Earth light tank.

Well, it's loving ANCIENT, but when I was a kid I loved Silent Thunder, a flight sim where you exclusively fly the A-10 and BLOW poo poo THE gently caress UP.

Yellow Comet's Light Tank reminds me of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_FT while Medium Tank is pretty clearly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kliment_Voroshilov_tank. Spoiled tank names because some tank geek could get spoiled or something.

Of course my main use for A-10s was killing my own teammmates' Heavy Artillery because it just pissed me off so much that they could be repairing or using AA but noooo gotta be a huge waste of everyone's time.

Maybe the Orange Star APC is a M113 APC? And the Green Earth recon is a Spahpanzer Luchs? The Orange Star rocket artillery, especially the shape of the cab, kinda looks like a M270 MLRS...
