MEET the bomber B-24 "Enslaver"!

[p]Hello, soldiers![/p][p]Today, I introduce you to a true giant of the skies, the B-24 "Enslaver" bomber![/p][p][/p][p]The Enslaver is a model based on the B-24 "Liberator," an American heavy bomber from World War II.[/p][p]The distinguishing feature of these aircraft, compared to today's planes, was their light armament to defend against enemy fighters in dogfights.[/p][p]Today's bombers are very different; smaller, faster aircraft are preferred, perfect for fleeting incursions into enemy territory.[/p][p]The way enemy territory is struck has also changed: now, the tendency is to carry out surgical strikes on strategic buildings, whereas before, no subtleties were spared; an entire squadron of bombers would be deployed to carry out a carpet bombing raid to raze the entire area.[/p][p][/p][p]The Enslaver will also be a heavy bomber, but not a very heavy one, capable of carrying large bombs of various weights, but probably all high-yield, meaning without chemical payloads.[/p][p]For defense, it will have five positions equipped with 12.7 mm machine guns.[/p][p]I'd like to be able to include all six crew members, so each machine gun can fire independently, but if that proves too much for gameplay, I'd opt for four crew members, so two crew members would each have two different positions.[/p][p][/p][p]With such a loadout, the B-24 Enslaver can conduct raids into enemy territory without escort and without asking please.[/p][p][/p][p]There will be other bombers in the game, some more modern and some even heavier.[/p][p][/p][p]What types of bombs would you like?[/p][p][/p][h3]THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG![/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

MEET the "Cybister japonicus"!

[p]Hello, my brothers![/p][p]For today's MEET, we return to the world of insects and introduce you to the robust "Cybister japonicus"![/p][p][/p][p]The Cybister japonicus is an aquatic beetle, primarily found in Japan, but also in parts of East Asia.[/p][p]Like almost all aquatic insects, it lives in ponds and rivers, far from the salty waters of the sea.[/p][p][/p][p]Its behavior is extremely voracious, as it can consume an amount of food almost equal to its own body weight per day![/p][p]Its strong mandibles allow it to easily penetrate the exoskeleton of its prey, injecting enzymes that begin "digesting" the victim's internal organs while it's still alive... we're very lucky not to be insects![/p][p][/p][p]In the game, the Cybister japonicus has robust armor, but also remarkable speed.[/p][p]Of course, it can only move in water, where it will be a very dangerous enemy.[/p][p]Its attacks will primarily revolve around its strong jaws, but it will likely also have a defensive ability (which it actually uses) that will allow it to secrete an irritant to deter predators.[/p][p][/p][p]Do you have any questions about this insect or the Insect faction?[/p][p][/p][h3]THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG![/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

MEET the F-22 "Nemesis"!

[p]Hello, my friends![/p][p]Today, I'm introducing you to an air of modernity, an aircraft as mysterious as it is iconic of its generation: the F-22 "Nemesis"![/p][p][/p][p]As you all know, the F-22 is a fifth-generation stealth fighter.[/p][p]Its features make it unmistakable in the aeronautical world.[/p][p][/p][p]In "Home Wars: Battlefield," the F-22 will obviously be a stealth fighter, likely the last "realistic" unlock in the fighter branch.[/p][p]It will be armed with a couple of types of AA missiles and a 20mm cannon.[/p][p][/p][p]Now let's move on to the thing I think everyone's curious about: the stealth feature.[/p][p]This game will feature stealth planes, stealth helicopters, and stealth ships (perhaps even vehicles and submarines?!?)[/p][p]For now, I'm torn between two gameplay mechanics:[/p][p]1) Stealth units can never be locked on by missiles.[/p][p]2) Stealth units can be locked on by missiles, but it takes about three times longer to lock on.[/p][p][/p][p]Which one do you prefer?[/p][p][/p][p]It'll be fun to watch a 5th-generation aircraft battle against maybe a Spitfire![/p][p][/p][p]I wonder what other stealth aircraft will be![/p][p]I already know, which ones do you think?[/p][p][/p][p]THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

MEET the Exosuit ES-1 "Wildcat"!

[p]Hello, brothers in arms![/p][p]Today we're back to two-legged vehicles; we'll be talking about the "small" ES-1 "Wildcat" exosuit![/p][p][/p][p]At first glance, the Wildcat might look like a mech, but my intention is to make it an exosuit.[/p][p]The difference?[/p][p]A mech is something imposing, a sort of earth-shaking bipod tank, armed with powerful, sci-fi weapons.[/p][p]An exosuit is a sort of mini-mech, meaning it's much cheaper than a mech, much less armed and armored than a mech, but easier to use.[/p][p][/p][p]For a player, calling a mech onto the battlefield will cost credits.[/p][p]Calling an exosuit, on the other hand, should be a relatively cheap action, aimed at getting out of a difficult situation like being surrounded or countering a certain threat for which the player is not equipped.[/p][p][/p][p]In this case, the ES-1 Wildcat is designed for "anti-infantry" tasks, meaning the elimination of small, lightly armored enemies, thanks to its armament: a 7.62 mm rotary machine gun and a 40 mm grenade launcher.[/p][p]If you're surrounded by numerous ants or infantry without anti-tank weapons, calling in a Wildcat could save your life.[/p][p][/p][p]For this reason, I'd like to make deploying exosuits (yes, there will be more than one) much faster than calling in vehicles, coming close to calling the Titan in Titanfall.[/p][p][/p][p]What do you think?[/p][p]If you have any suggestions, please let me know; maybe an idea will emerge that will improve the game for everyone.[/p][p][/p][h3]THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG![/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

MEET the Light Cruiser "Silverwind"!

[p]Hello, soldiers![/p][p]I've noticed that many of you are primarily interested in the naval aspect of the game, which is nice because it's a type of warfare that has always attracted me.[/p][p][/p][p]I remember when I was little and my parents took me to the seaside; I spent hours on the rocks reading books about World War II naval battles that my father had bought me. There weren't many pictures in those books, so my imagination ran wild, and the real smell of salt air gave my imagination a more realistic feel.[/p][p][/p][p]Back to us, today I present to you the light cruiser: "Silverwind"![/p][p][/p][p]Light cruisers are ships capable of operating autonomously in a variety of missions, but they are at their best when used to hold off smaller vessels.[/p][p]These ships are fast and quite imposing, although they can't match the might of a dreadnought.[/p][p][/p][p]The Silverwind can accommodate four crew members.[/p][p]All can use 12.7 mm machine guns and 40 mm flak cannons.[/p][p]The first three members have two turrets (front and rear) with each equipped with two 155 mm guns.[/p][p]The fourth member cannot use guns, but has two triple torpedo launchers, which are lethal against slower-moving targets.[/p][p]You can see how, if each member equipped themselves with anti-aircraft weapons, this ship would be able to enforce a naval "no-fly zone" within its weapons' range, something larger ships cannot do.[/p][p][/p][p]The Silverwind's two main weaknesses are:[/p][p]- the lack of truly heavy armor;[/p][p]- the lack of weapons for attacking units below the surface of the sea.[/p][p][/p][p]How would you use this vessel in battle?[/p][p]Do you have friends who would like to share steel and salt with you?[/p][p][/p][h3]THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG![/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
