Gunship III

Finally, something that we've seen occasionally before but was never really well represented, is that enemy tanks will readily engage you with their main guns. Simply hovering and lobbing missiles into enemy platoons is asking for trouble once spotted. Instead, players will need to change positions frequently and use cover more aggressively to avoid being fragged by angry tankers.

M1 Tank Platoon III

Tim Goodlett informed us that Gunship III will be connectable with M1 Tank Platoon III, which will ship a couple of months after Gunship. M1TP3 will use the same graphics engine as Gunship III, and other enhancements include advanced A.I. upgrade (especially infantry), new controllable vehicles, new campaigns and mission types, new OPFOR vehicles, and a new, easier to use interface.

Last year we were told that infantry may be placed more under user control, and that infantry will be able to hide in deep grass, as will other vehicles. Tim noted that the improvements list for M1TP3 was not yet complete since specs were not final.

Look for Gunship III in the first quarter of 2000.
