Hiya folks,
I got to wondering what the collective thinks is the best way to model micro UAV (Black Hornet, T-Hawk, Bayraktar, etc) within the game? Or conversely whether we need to as our "god view" already models these front line recon tools?
Is the best way to:
1. create a size 0, slow flying (speed 10) Light Helo and add it to a rifle platoon?
[+ allows rifle platoon to launch it to "see" further and over blocking terrain]
[- too susceptible to enemy (AA) fire?]
2. increase the Vision rating of equipped units?
[+ no way to be "shot down"]
[- doesnt allow vision over blocking terrain]
3. increase the exp rating of equipped troops?
[+ more likely to spot stuff]
[- doesnt allow vision over blocking terrain]
4. ignore - "they are already modelled by UAVs in game"?
5. ignore - "Our gamers 'God-view' already simulates this"?
6. something else?
