    Well yeah, having planes parallel park isn't exactly cool looking, but it is functional.

    If you are avoiding AA by landing at it's feet, you have more problems then trying to avoid then by flying away.

    The votes are looking pretty half and half. How about an option on the sidebar?

    Do we really need to make every tiny near-inconsequential detail an togglable option? I thought we were trying to make this game easier for a new player to get their head around.

    Also, i'm super positive you can shoot landed aircraft with ground weapons, my destroyers just blew up a bunch of landed bombers.

    Hit and damage. But not aim at.

    The destroyer allows ground based targeting, so it behaves different from units which may only target other units directly.

    they already do a low altitude hover when they fly. (uber needs to make them fly higher)

    They used to however let you fire/aim at landed aircraft.
