I started today with Chaos and their flyer thingys are not that bad they do average damage against buildings and are a good alternative to the other chaos vehicels in the campaign. Well the Sob look a bit weird the "Emperor's pointy Breasts" might be an army name that soon will become famous. Now there are four planets and 3 moons, so there's quite a lot to take over. The planet I'm on has Orks and Tau on it 6 provinces on it, which is about 1/3rd of what was in Dark Crusade. The map is huge with lots and lots of provinces to take over. I'm assuming - not that I've seen them yet - Reaver Jetbikes will have the same problem. It's just silly watching a Marauder bomber stop, turn on a dime, and then fly somewhere else. they always fly around when they're in the air - they don't stop dead and defy gravity), then don't bother with aircraft at all.

Basically, if you can't do non-VToL air-craft like Supreme Commander/Total Annihilation did (ie. The rest should be actually flying, constantly, never stopping. They sit still and shoot like VToL craft - even the damned Marauder Bomber does this! Only the Tempest should be doing that (and the Valk/Vult had they included it over the Marauder). I've used both the Lightning and the Tempest, and in all honesty, I just hate the way they've been implimented. They're invisible, and can detect enemy units, making them vital scouting units especially against Infiltrating units like Stealth Suits.Īs far as the actual game goes, rather than nitpicking, I don't think the flying units really add anything to the game. The good news is Servo-Skulls now just sit and exist rather than slowly losing health. What I don't agree with is the removal of Power Fists as a weapon for Vet Sergeants. I was actually happy about that as it's one of the changes I never agreed with. Decided to play as the Marines the first time around, and was shocked to see they removed the option for the 5th Heavy Weapon! I've been playing it for a few hours now.
