Heya All,

Progress is moving steadily even altho slowly but worry not as my previous statement still stands and we will release before christmas this year.
Now i could go on about all kinds of borring development details but i doubt any of you would find that all that interesting so here is a renders instead!

The Desert fly is a new air units buildable for Deathstrike unlike other airplanes it does not require reloading at an airfield and thus will circle it's general area when it's not attacking or moving.
For armorment it has a pair of machineguns in which it can preform strafing runs much like the A10 does (it doesn't dive tho) and can be upgraded with Phosphorus bombs for extra punch.

Well that´s it for today stay tuned for more updates which i hopefully can post soon.

So it's basically a controllable groundattack-plane? WIN.

PS: I gotta say that posting these mini updates works a lot better than our old 'post several renders many months apart'-routine back in the day.

very nice!

Very nice one. Is there more coming mini-updates until release before Chrismas?

Maybe

Oooh, I remember this one. I like

Quick question if i may
As they don't need to reload will they be made from the air-pad? or a airfield (new structure for GLA?)
What happens if it needs repairing?
Will they just be strong mainly against infantryman?

Thanks =]

Are we losing an upgrade to make room for the Phosphorus bomb upgrade? If so what are we losing?

Posted by: The_Hunter 29 Sep 2010, 0:51

At the air pad yes.


Junk repair just like the MI8


Take a wild guess what 4 .50 calliber machine guns would do to a human body and you got your awser


Nothing significant it will become clear at the release.

make tiny holes?

This is the first time I've seen the SWR team 'go against' the GLA's design of little-to-no-air-support design...interesting. Not to say it's bad though...I want controllable A-10s!

Posted by: Pickysaurus 29 Sep 2010, 3:03

Will it have a takeoff animation or just float into the air like a balloon?

Posted by: Aaron 29 Sep 2010, 7:55

Trust me they don't need it

Cool unit none the less considering salvage plays almost nothing like GLA

This thing is basically that the rumored stormhunter ground attack plane for General Fai - cept better.

I know this model since i was a member of unleashed, and all i have to say is great work IPS. Are the rest of the models he made for unleashed going in shockwave or rotr ? It would be a shame to let that usa super heavy tank or that chinese huge artillery go to waste .

Posted by: Alias 29 Sep 2010, 13:41

Great work IPS!

1.0 will certainly be something to look out for.

Posted by: D' WRTHBRNGR 29 Sep 2010, 14:00

Finally, a controllable plane for the GLA. Nice work, IPS!

Posted by: Raven 29 Sep 2010, 14:45

wow...this looks cool.....Great work IPS on the model

Posted by: General Specific 30 Sep 2010, 7:47

The hell we don't! GIVE US THE DETAILS!!!

Posted by: Pav3d 30 Sep 2010, 14:46

Excellent as always IPS

Posted by: Jester 30 Sep 2010, 15:20

what is general fai stormhunter plane?

Posted by: woxenrud 30 Sep 2010, 15:57

I have been waiting for 0.952/0.96/1.0 for two years now in October. It will feel unreal when it is finally released

Posted by: Abraxix 30 Sep 2010, 19:37

But im sure they will of made it worth the wait

Posted by: Pal 3 Oct 2010, 12:41

Finally!Some new GLA air unit to play with Deathstrike.

Posted by: NoNama 6 Oct 2010, 9:22

Waiting for 1.0

Posted by: The Twilight 6 Oct 2010, 22:27

So its a Littlebird for Deathstrike? Will it be equallly OP? I presume it won't carry infantry units.

Posted by: Chyros 6 Oct 2010, 23:06

Yes, we decided it so that it would be as overpowered and unfair and unreasonable as possible .

Posted by: JJ 7 Oct 2010, 11:27

Littlebirds in Shockwave are far from OP, in fact I think it's pretty fine, maybe slightly underpowered. In big maps you can use it for harassment though.

Now as for Littlebirds in ROTR, that's a different story.

Agreed
