My previous paratrooper rush was running into serious trouble when American heavy tanks started showing up. so I air-dropped some light tanks to help defend their flank against American heavies. the airborne tanks are high-lighted with yellow circles. this gives Japan some great late-game options to catch more powerful nations like the USA off-guard. mix them with elite infantry units to help blunt an enemy attack.
Ha ha the tanks get parachutes.
yeah-- because there's no way we can properly code glider landings-- so this will have to do.
Will there be other airborne tanks like the locust and tetrarch?
why are the infantry invisible in this picture?
using a screen capture on a live on-going game. infantry was caught in mid-animation. I finally settled on a shot that showed the airborne tanks deploying. I figured if the infantry was invisible it would just make it easier to SEE the airborne tanks. think of it as 'Hollywood magic' to direct people's attention to something specific.
the Brits will get the Tetrach airborne tank. the US will get an airborne tank-- it will simply be the original light tank model for the US-- there wasn't a really great Locust model available.
