    Okay, bolos need to be able to target landed aircraft.

    Yes please! This was suuuch a great feature, it made the game feel so much more dynamic...

    Maybe it was a tiny insignificant detail, but it was interesting. Plz Uber <3

    Also, can missle defense towers shoot at ground targets? I'm pretty sure they can.
    Can we get them to prioritize aircraft?

    If bolos will be able to shoot landed air (again), spinners should not be able to shoot landed air (don't know if it is already like that).

    Equal rights and stuff, you know.

    Yeah, that makes more sense though. Fighters shouldn't hit landed air. Despite that awesome tactic, I am willing to give it up for bolos to work right.

    That's how it worked back when it was in. AA couldn't fire at landed aircraft, anti land could however.

    Pros: Realism

    Cons: Losing the bastards as why did they land in the first place?

    Suggestion: Instead of making them land, make them roam a very short area, like 30 meters big, and do random wavy flying around.

    It used to be possible, but now it's not. i don't understand why they removed that...

    Yeah they shouldn't land. Especially landing scouts in craters that I have been known to exploit.

    Well, landing certainly isn't necessary, like it was in Supcom (as it was a dynamic of the game.)

    Okay, I'll make a poll. We'll see how popular this is with the masses. ;)

    I don't really think it's an exploit, more so smart use of mechanics, as it's not a glitch, it is intended.
