That's the most animation I've ever done for a video, I hope it was worth it :) What do you guys think of Foxhole Airborne? Summer 2025 seems so far away :(
@@BlueLaminate is there any guide u would recommend to do foxhole type of animations in blender? Those animations are So cool it make the video 10times more intrestin
Damn, you really went crazy with the models for this video. I am really excited and if there will be player made airfields, I will build one of these no matter the cost. Just imagine constant planes flying in and out refuelling and rearming. The aircraft carrier would be a really nice idea too. A new ship for naval would be really nice. Oh and one last thing. Congrats on 10k subs 🎉🎉🎉. The 48 hour LoM really blew up
yeah, when I was sick I couldn't render or animate, but I could model a bit on my old laptop. The models kind of piled up by the time I could think straight again :D Thanks, 10K is crazy T_T and that LoM video better be popping off, excluding gameplay that video took me almost 50 hours to make, I had no free time or sleep HAHAHAHA
@@tigerkrieger1246 fair but i would personally rather see them focus entirely on the air update rather than spend lots of time on an aircraft carrier it would probably take a lot of ressources
I just hope planes won't be 100% locked behind Facilites. At least 1 plane or flying vehicle being refined mats would be enough to make it accessible for solo players.
would be cool if they added little dinky trainer planes that just has small guns, that probably would be enough for solos to play around with in the less active areas of the map
I think theres a huge shift coming map has to be expanded x2 to fit this stuff they have said they want the entire backround map to be playable so maybe.
There's gonna be ENTIRE clans based around pilots, bombers, etc. They're gonna have artwork, callsigns, hell it wouldn't surprise me if they came up with goddamn code. Foxhole is going to go INSANE with a new form of play.
Imagine if they had close air support a weaker and faster bomber (They probably have it just not shown off) and it could be like the stuka, having a horn sound before obliterating you
OH THE STUKA ROLEPLAYERS are going to mic spam the horn so much HAHAHAHA The devs did say during the devstream that they didn't show off all the planes so don't be worried if your faction is missing like a fighter or something..... Can't wait to see what else that have in store :D
@@LaurentxoplexImagine being able to make actual pictures with a scout plane, the undeveloped film needing to be hastily brought to a bunker with enough intelligence mods to build a development room and taking that intel to the storm canon operators
I just got into foxhole recently and have been binging through your videos the past few days. Love the animations and the way you're able to tell a story in a lot of your other videos while also highlighting some of the most fun parts of foxhole. Each vid I watch gets me hyped to play the game, great stuff!
Aircraft Carriers in Foxhole??? I would really like to see a Callahan refit into a Battle Carrier though. (Kinda like IJN Ise and IJN Hyuga) Also I really love your Animation. Best in the community, easily.
That was my first thought too! Now that we have aviation to assist with naval escorts, an aircraft carrier would be a natural progression. That would be wild as fuck
Thanks, pretty sure that the animations & models for this video took the longest out of all my videos :D So..... that sounds like Carriers as a battleship facility variant hahaha ohgod more facility variants lol
I want to see WW2 style MV Carriers like the Macoma. Aka a refitted Cargo Hauler (in this case perhaps a longhook) that can fit two planes on it, mostly for patrol and maybe strafing duties near the shores
One thought came to me, is that one team or another is absolutely gonna pull a Market Garden and drop loads of infantry but be unable to be relief them
No one, no one asked the question how it would look? For an isometric game, it is somehow visually impossible. I can't imagine aviation in Foxhole, it has to be terribly casual to work.
I’ve thought the same thing but according to their statements and the trailer, it seems like it’s going to be just like the rest of the vehicles but I’m still very skeptical
@dyzlharmn7231 Exactly! They can do all of this, no problem. It's just that from a gameplay perspective it would be very uncomfortable, and anyone who can master it would be practically godlike.
@ I think it might have some growing pains, but it will be overall really good for the game in the long run when they hammer it out, I hope it’s pretty decently fleshed out because I agree, I can’t think of any other game that would have something comparable though might be why it sounds so weird
Imagine at night time, with everything else happening in a tight fight, and theres fcken AA guns, lighting up the sky, will be intense, even more louder hahaha
Well, currently the freighters have zero kinds of armament, so they can't deal with gunboats attacking them, let alone airplanes. Maybe we'll get some freighter upgrades with this update >:D
I’m pragmatically excited for planes, I like the idea but I’d hate to see a repeat of naval where one faction (colonials) gets a straight up better option for a few wars until they finish the other faction’s version… It was such a pain playing as wardens when collies unlocked the destroyer, it was just a light battleship that couldn’t be countered on sea and even by land it was a pain to try and man a 150 long enough to kill it before it inevitably blew up the pallets with 4 rapid fire 120s… I fear the bomber will be the next destroyer if they go through with the whole “one faction gets a neat killer tool and the other faction gets the version used to stop it” and be a absolute pain to deal with, I imagine waking up in the morning as every mid sized regi to see everything bombed out at their fac building their one battle tank that took them 3 weeks to get because night time raids will be stupidly common if wardens don’t get their own bomber to counter cripple the collie rear
Well, during the devstream they said that the trailer didn't show everything "if you didn't see something for your faction, don't worry there's a lot more to come and we don't want to start any big controversies over why one side didn't get what - at least yet" So I'm hoping both sides at least get a bomber & fighter. I need that colonial fighter :D
Some anti-air options at least for emplacements, the wardens would definitely have the anti-infantry emplacement because it’s basically an anti-aircraft flak cannon used to turn infantry into ground beef, and they could perhaps have a secondary mode that can be used to target aircraft. For the colonials, I actually think having the Hades nest placement as an anti air option would be really interesting, as it was based off of a British designed anti-aircraft missile system called the Z battery that was being used during the blitz and also it would give a reason for its use, as I’ve never really seen it being used anywhere. I’m pretty sure the half tracks could definitely be outfitted with an anti-aircraft Cannon of some kind, I’m just not sure if it’s going to be AI, or players are gonna have to figure out how to hit planes from the top down perspective. I’m certain there would to be an AI defense structure if the devs can’t figure out how to make the aa gun usable for players. Though since this is a big update, I would not be surprised if they would add two super units that are involved with the aircraft update, they could likely just do the easy option of giving both factions aircraft carriers, but I actually think they might try to include an airship carrier, these airships obviously weren’t used in a real war(they couldn’t never really figure out how to resupply and get the aircraft back into the airship safely in flight), but they have prototypes and they were tested by America in the inter war period, and since Foxhole takes a lot of inspiration from that era, I think it would be easy to fit in. But how would it work? Well, I have an idea, make it an aerial long hook. in which you have it be a spawn point for pilots, the aircraft(mostly fighters, and perhaps a transport plane or a glider) would be built on the airship, but they would be on a timer similar to the landing craft of the long hook(or can only land on the airship itself) but unlike the landing craft, they can be repaired and refueled by the airship with some type of landing implement(perhaps a long runway on the bottom) and storage space(perhaps a pulley system for resupplies), given its vast potential range and large frame(it would cast a vast shadow on the ground, but only aircraft and aa guns can hit it), I would think that this ship would be used in supporting naval battles, landings and other types of operations but be behind the frontlines as this airship would be incredibly fragile. it would likely have 2 AI aa guns on it, but it would likely not help you very much. I would think the normal aircraft carrier would likely function the same way or similarly but be a lot more tougher than the airship but possess far less operational range and containing more space for planes than the airship. But then comes the question of who would receive the airship carrier, I think there are many arguments for both wardens and colonials to receive it but in my opinion, I think the wardens should be the ones to receive this super unit, as I believe the warden’s ww1 aesthetic of form over function, quality over quantity(they like to use older technology in an interesting new way and also the designers are given a lot more leeway and time to design their machines)approach, and the colonials aesthetically are more World War II oriented in their design philosophy being far more pragmatic in their approach to Vehicle design, believe it just fits better mechanically wise and lore wise for it to be a warden exclusive.
Other typers of planes that also can be added: CAS(Close air support): Basically dive bombers, which can hit a single target like ships, tanks or a bank base, and on the same note, Torperdies can also be a subclass of CAS, instead of a bomb just being a torpedo, trying to hit ships, depth charges to anti-submarines missions.(maybe even drop sea mines too👀) Interceptors/Heavy figthers: Different from figthers, they sacrifice mobility to have more fire power, they migth be excellent agest bombers or transport planes, but due to low speed they migth be unable to win a dogfigth agest a figther. Scout Planes: No armament, but as long its on the air, it can work a watch tower, sending imformation to someone who has a radio, and helping in any operation
Well the devs did say that they didn't show everything they're working on in the trailer, although I kind of hope that if we do get torpedo planes, they're a little weaker than the submarine torpedoes, otherwise submarine use would fall right through the floor lol If we do get scout planes, I wonder if we'll end up using the actual carrier search patterns from WW2 :o
@@BlueLaminate I hope we get some late war jets, rocket interceptors, and late game jet bombers and b29 equivalents. Loitering interceptors as you suggested is what is done IRL where interceptors have long flight times and long range missiles.
@@Monarch_GNSG i'd think stuff like heavy bombers or jet bombers might not be around anytime soon, those things have ludicrous range and fire power after all. if the bomber shown is already long ranged it would be really hard to balance with the current state of the game
Imagine creating a partisan force and getting aerial air drops in certain points. You could sustain a constant sabotage operation. Especially if you can somehow get far back.
Thanks :D The modeling & animation for this video took especially long (there's like,.... 4+ minutes of rendered animation here, which is WAYYYY more than my usual)
i have a question How will planes manage to cross the borders? Will it be a completely open map or will we hit the invisible border and wait for 5 seconds?
ohhh I forgot to talk about that. It was in my notes and everything. Planes waiting in place at a border would be funny, but I have a feeling that we might have to package them before crossing borders.... we'll just have to wait and see.
I would imagine the plane just runs into the border and keeps flying till if you decide to attempt a turnaround or teleport. But don’t know if the vehicle will act like every vehicle if it just start at zero speed or the developers will attempt to keep aircraft at the original speed it was at when teleporting. But that assuming if the developer allow you to travel between areas with aircraft flying
Something i am verh interested in is that if they add cargo planes and you can parachute your supplies if your surrounded how will the cargo be affected by the wind when it is falling down for example if the wind is too strong will the cargo land further than the expectee drop point and end up in the enemy base
The issue with air is that it will instantly become the most important domain to control and completely shift how wars are fought in Foxhole to a more strategic scale. It will also overwhelmingly benefit large and active regiments, because they will be the only ones that can produce and field large numbers of planes. Foxhole is loosely based on WW2, and that wasn't won by soldiers in trenches. It was won by mass bombing raids on industrial centers.
Well, if there's anything I've learned from late game foxhole: The big clans usually need masses of randos for their big pushes anyway :D *hoping to score some free planes*
I’m hoping there is some imbalance in what types of aircraft each faction has, like the colonials getting a large bomber alongside a short ranged dog fighter whilst the wardens could get a form of dive bomber alongside their fighter-bomber
@BlueLaminate to be fair, I ain't gonna act like I'm not making a huge mega project that has all sorts of equipment modeled and now I'm moving on to planes
The transport plane kind of looks like the Fairchild C-82 Packet, a late WW2/Cold war transport plane. I can't identify the other planes though, the fighter has a weird barrel air intake thing while the bomber looks kind of angular. Also, if you pause on the scene with the warden pilots running to their fighters, the shadow looks like an unshown plane that could be the warden bomber or transport. It has a pretty chunky body with engines that are very close to the fuselage.
Hopefully in this big update there will be Zeppelins, that would be nice and annoying? Just imagine this thing will shoot unlimited bullets and can kill its enemies in the trenches easily from the sky. And imagine ALSO if this thing also had a spawn system and unlimited paratroopers, and if it was possible that above the balloon there would be a parking space for the plane, so it could be that the plane would land on the balloon and be repaired by people and spam it again with full life. . This will be OP but yes the anti-air gun counter will definitely be very easy to destroy, at least?
I'm rly very satisfied and inspired of looking with this storytalling style, awesome work! Sorry for such a direct question, but do you make the models yourself or do you find them in the game files? I'll understand if you don't answer.
Thanks :D The buildings and vehicles are made from scratch, that way I can do stuff like cut them open (like in my tanking video) and rig them for animation, at least my style of animation. After all.... foxhole hasn't released any planes yet so, I had to make them from scratch :D
addition of planes genuinely would shake up the late game meta alot, the potential for bombers to be a side grade of heavy arty that's a bit more safe, consistent, and flexible but lighter hitting and require more coordination may shake up the late game to be more mobile and not revolve around fire bases as much
I can see them making a high altitude sky layer where planes travel quickly and can fight each other. With only flak cannons reaching them. Then if they want to do precise bombing or strafing they have to fly slower at low altitude. Exposing themselves to more short range AA. Also the AA space problem isn't a problem if you can build AA on top of an AT bunker.
My day job is a flight instructor and as someone that has hopped in and out of foxhole over the years its pulling me right back in. I will say keeping it semi realistic would be a good idea. Or else this is going to turn into top down war thunder very quickly. If people walk in, spend all this time building their fighter, then crash it instantly, it’ll keep new players from really using it too often and leave it to large groups with trained foxhole pilots to master. I also think it will make those large ass battleships pretty useless. Take the Bismark for example. One of the biggest strongest most powerful battleships in WW2, and died because a single biplane with a single torpedo took out its rudder turning it into a turkey in a turkey shoot. Ground attack airplanes should also be a must, something similar to the IL2, will move frontlines so much faster. It’ll help break the tide of things like bridge battles where all you would have to do is just launch a ground attack over and blow up half of the bunkers. Recon airplanes would also be pretty cool. It could be the only airplane you could switch to first person in. Finally keep out aircraft carriers, they would be too strategically op. Keep the fuel capacity of the airplanes very limited as well. So taking airfields becomes vital.
tbh i don't think battleships would become obselete because of the healthpool, them having more aa and as you saw in war 117 using them as off shore bombardment. i think aircraft carriers would actually be a good thing let's take the naval invasion in war 117 what if colonials had the planes well wardens would have had it be way harder but with a carrier the wardens also could use airplanes. what i think they should do is make the carrier to be the same as a super heavy (SH opposed to other tanks in cost to build). but i'm on board with the ground attack planes like the thunderbolt, stuka and the IL2.
I hope that they add planes to home region so people can practice not crashing Then you can be a flight instructor in-game too HAHAHAHA Hopefully they don't actually make battleships useless, I bet it'll be hard to balance though. And hey, I can dream. Of aircraft carriers. Quite Overpowered aircraft carriers. Till the submarine wolfpacks show up hahaha
hai, your blender animations are amazing!!! do you mind sharing how did you get so experienced in blender and how long does it usually take you to create those animations?
Thanks! :D I'm self-taught for blender, lots of youtube tutorials. Depends on the animation. For example, the Linn of Mercy Video took some 10+ hours to model all the new things, and another 10 ish hours to animate. This video took me slowly making models while I was sick then spending a 3-day weekend animating & doing a lot of overnight renders. It takes a while for the crazy stuff lol
@@BlueLaminate it is very time consuming but i appreciate your effort and i honestly think that it is worth the time! keep up the good work! :) the Linn of Mercy video is my favorite and that animation definitely got a lot of people including me hooked to watch the video until the end
@@BlueLaminate waw, that is smart! i also wanted to say that your thumbnails are unique, they make your videos stand out and people want to click them, do you draw those characters on the thumbnails yourself?
Hi Laminate. Don't know if you remember the 340th from Base Sagitta many wars ago. I showed up briefly in that video. It wasn't clear at the time, but we've actually been training to be a Paramarine regiment for a while, so the announcement that planes and paratroopers were being added to the game got us more hype than you can imagine. Hopefully you can wear the Beret with us someday!
So in a game where I cant aim my rifle up or down, infantry AT weapons are always at critical or zero levels, now we have to worry about supplying AA as well?
Air Traffic Control will be interesting on each of the Air Fields. Gonna need a grounds team and work heavily with Logi to get replacements and even defenses to protect the airfield along side enemy Patricians using the parachutes to get behind lines to hit Logi and more. So Watchtowers will be more vital and people will be needing to watch the Map even more. The LARP / RP will be funny on ATC Radio or even funny Take Off Talks to the Paratroopers hahahahaha
aircraft will most likely be locked behind facilities much like the large ships. nothing unusual there as the logistic train of an aircraft and its ground crew can be fairly large. my concern is in two parts. One: how and where will they land/takeoff? will they be world generated airfields to give players a more strategic objective? if so, what's to keep the large clans from "claiming" these airfields? Two: with the ability to fly completely over massive trench and bunker lines to strike behind enemy lines wont this functionally make artillery and tank obsolete? will you be able to just tap relics behind enemy lines with nothing but a couple of bombers? to sum it all up: I am very excited for aircraft and am looking forward to their implementation however i have some pretty serious reservations about how they will affect the "meta" of the game. aircraft carriers when?
Wouldn't it be fairly easy to have barrage balloons not visible unless you're in an aircraft? Like obviously you'd still see the lines going up to where it's deployed, sort of like how you see the trunks of trees, but the devs have already implemented a lot with the visibility of layers. I'd think this would be pretty easy.
I think the runways themselves will probably be preplaced by the devs. And then players can build taxiways and hangars (also I’m assuming all the naval ships are getting a overhaul with lots of AA turrets especially on the battleship)
i dont have the game (yet) but im also very hyped but my concern is that the map isnt big enough for planes. or am i wrong? i dont really know pls let me know
I think Airplanes may be on their own "Ariel" Layer instead of "in" a hex with ground units like other vehicles. They would of course be able to effect one another but for server/load times they would be separate. Like if it was a regular vehicle that was just above the ground then imagine going between hexes in a Plane. Just crashing into the wall or flying alongside it for 5 seconds
I think that the devs said that they'll be on the same layer, and I really wonder how they'll deal with the border queues for planes, hopefully it doesn't mean we have to package them between hexes.
I just wanna ask did you make all the model from scratch or you just exported it I been wanting to make little compilation of what happening in the front I know how to make models and simple animations in blender buts its kinda hassle to make all the tanks boats and models from scratch
idk if youtube bugged but I can't tell if my reply posted so I'll try again- All the buildings & Vehicles are made from scratch so I can do stuff like animating cutting them open (like in my tanking video). After all... Foxhole doesn't have planes yet so.... yeah hahaha :D
When I started to play the game back then in 2017 I'd have never thought that Foxhole would get this big one day. The question I constantly asking myself is how are planes supposed to work with the region border?
i would bet one of the smaller planes would probably be added alongside a catapult system making frontline QRF plane be treated much like big artillery or missile site
I haven’t played foxhole yet watching a bunch of videos before I start. But I assume it will be like real life. AirPower will be everything if you don’t control the sky’s you won’t have a chance
Don't you think both factions will get a bomber, fighter, and transport? Maybe one side gets a light dive bomber, the other a heavy; one gets a turn fighter, the other boom and zoom. Something like that.
I think both sides will get one of each, the devs did say that they didn't show every plane in the trailer and said something like "dont panic about your side not getting x vehicle" hahaha Everyone got traumatized by one side having a destroyer and the other having the submarine during the first naval update HAHAHA
All planes will have VTOL capabilities Jk jk but in all seriousness the devs didn't say anything, and I'm getting a bad feeling that they'll have to be packaged before crossing. Or maybe there'll be a way to automatically orbit while waiting in queue. We'll just have to wait and see :)
I want actual training to be a thing on the home region for planes though. Could you imagine grinding hundreds of hours to get a plane built and then have it get destroyed in 2 minutes because theres no tutorial on how to operate it? Honestly the same could be said for ships and tanks (The armored car doesn't cut it for training purposes). The home region needs a serious make make over.
When it comes to airfields, and their specific size. Probably what's gonna happen? Is there there are going to be smaller runways that players can make to land fighters and supply planes, and then there are gonna be bigger runways that are on the map already like logistics hubs where bombers will operate out of this is pretty much how it worked in real life as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.You had fire bases and then you had fighter bomber bases, and then you had bomber bases, I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped the fighter bomber base for complexity reasons
True, kind of like buildings today. Might be a little hard to see whats under masses of blimps that are further away though, kind of like that roof of crates I put somewhere in the video, but I guess that turning them invisible too would be an easy fix.
The "real" war is on able, and charlie shard is supposedly more new-player friendly. I've only played on charlie for all of 10 minutes to get footage for this video, so I'm HEAVILY biased towards able lol
Well... the only way they are going to pull this off, in my opinion, is to have dedicated places for airfields but that would make the meta of the game rush such places, so if that is not the case and you could build everywhere, so. They will have an air hex above the ones we already have, but on that hex there will be only planes so the hex can be bigger, like 5 hex to 1 air hex. You can use arty against another hex so how would anti-air defenses work? The piloting of this thing is also a big "?" for me. How the hell are you going to dogfight? If we see 30+ air battles, it would be insane just because of how resource-heavy these things are going to be. The LARPING is going to be like watching a episode of masters of air KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
We'll just have to wait and see, though I think they said that the planes will be on the same layer as everyone else. I hope they figure out how to make dogfights work. But yeah.... the LARP is going to be AMAZING.
I wonder if they will allow some customization, painting decals on the sides of planes that are User Made, or even attaching things like miniature bombs to the fighters to turn them into Fighter Bombers, or do what the Soviets did and slap 88 PPSHs to the bombbay for the ultimate strafing run.
As much as I would love nose art, I think that'd get abused instantly for typical internet things lol Divebombers would be crazy @_@ *Stuka Siren Noises* Edit: Stuka Siren Noises
As a pilot in a lot of the games I play I am really looking forward to trying the update when it hits. Unfortunately im in no clans and these will defs be clan exclusive
Well if there's anything I've learned in foxhole, it's that if you wait till late war, there's a lot of opportunities to try out all the equipment as long as you're nice (I've once seen a LCpl be given the opportunity to drive a battleship). Collies usually have something like a bluefin with hundreds of Public Spathas late war. And in War 117, WLL dropped 300+ Gunboats+ Ammo in one seaport so people could gunboat without having to make it themselves :D
I want each faction to eventually get fighters and bombers, and aircraft carriers for them. If size/balancing is an issue, maybe aircraft carriers can only carry fighters, but fighters could have multiple variants. (Fighter, small bomber, ect) Then the heavier bombers could hit harder without aircraft carriers making them too OP.
The devs did state that the ydidn't show all the planes in the teaser trailer, so I think both sides are getting some kind of fighter and bomber. *crosses fingers* Would love to see dive bombers and *small not as strong as submarine torps* torpedo planes.
That's the most animation I've ever done for a video, I hope it was worth it :)

@@tigerkrieger1246 fair but i would personally rather see them focus entirely on the air update rather than spend lots of time on an aircraft carrier it would probably take a lot of ressources

I just hope planes won't be 100% locked behind Facilites.
At least 1 plane or flying vehicle being refined mats would be enough to make it accessible for solo players.
....I think the fighter can fit in a garage, actually.....
would be cool if they added little dinky trainer planes that just has small guns, that probably would be enough for solos to play around with in the less active areas of the map
When i played it was all "f the solo player" pretty much why i dropped out.
I think theres a huge shift coming map has to be expanded x2 to fit this stuff they have said they want the entire backround map to be playable so maybe.
Or maybe we'll get really good at efficiently cramming stuff into every nook and cranny of the map :D
I wish foxhole could get implemented in the R2 engine for this to be possible. But i know it’s way too much work

That was my first thought too! Now that we have aviation to assist with naval escorts, an aircraft carrier would be a natural progression. That would be wild as fuck
Thanks, pretty sure that the animations & models for this video took the longest out of all my videos :D
So..... that sounds like Carriers as a battleship facility variant hahaha ohgod more facility variants lol
I want to see WW2 style MV Carriers like the Macoma. Aka a refitted Cargo Hauler (in this case perhaps a longhook) that can fit two planes on it, mostly for patrol and maybe strafing duties near the shores
One thought came to me, is that one team or another is absolutely gonna pull a Market Garden and drop loads of infantry but be unable to be relief them
Let's be real here we'd still drop in just for the hell of it.
Imagine Colonial player recreating Operations Market Garden, Warden player will surprise
Operation Market garden was a failure so I don’t think the Wardens will be that unhappy about it lol
That would be insane, when we get planes it no doubt will
I think the colonials will be just as surprised as the wardens if Operation Market Garden becomes a repeat of history HAHAHA
No one, no one asked the question how it would look? For an isometric game, it is somehow visually impossible. I can't imagine aviation in Foxhole, it has to be terribly casual to work.
I’ve thought the same thing but according to their statements and the trailer, it seems like it’s going to be just like the rest of the vehicles but I’m still very skeptical
@dyzlharmn7231 Exactly! They can do all of this, no problem. It's just that from a gameplay perspective it would be very uncomfortable, and anyone who can master it would be practically godlike.
@ I think it might have some growing pains, but it will be overall really good for the game in the long run when they hammer it out, I hope it’s pretty decently fleshed out because I agree, I can’t think of any other game that would have something comparable though might be why it sounds so weird
#zoomout like 10-20m. Done. 😊
@smokeyson436 You probably don't understand the full essence of the tragedy.
Imagine at night time, with everything else happening in a tight fight, and theres fcken AA guns, lighting up the sky, will be intense, even more louder hahaha
*Intense regret over not animating that*
(Although that probably would've cooked my GPU in an overnight render lol)
@@BlueLaminate Oh yeah that would of been cool to have in the video. More detail than most people would put in non the less!
THE LIGHT IS GREEN BOYS AND WE ARE VERY VERY MEAN
I better hear someone say that next year when the update drops HAHAHAHA
1:22 or just use anti air like every other ww2 supply ship irl?
Well, currently the freighters have zero kinds of armament, so they can't deal with gunboats attacking them, let alone airplanes.
Maybe we'll get some freighter upgrades with this update >:D
I’m pragmatically excited for planes, I like the idea but I’d hate to see a repeat of naval where one faction (colonials) gets a straight up better option for a few wars until they finish the other faction’s version…
It was such a pain playing as wardens when collies unlocked the destroyer, it was just a light battleship that couldn’t be countered on sea and even by land it was a pain to try and man a 150 long enough to kill it before it inevitably blew up the pallets with 4 rapid fire 120s…
I fear the bomber will be the next destroyer if they go through with the whole “one faction gets a neat killer tool and the other faction gets the version used to stop it” and be a absolute pain to deal with, I imagine waking up in the morning as every mid sized regi to see everything bombed out at their fac building their one battle tank that took them 3 weeks to get because night time raids will be stupidly common if wardens don’t get their own bomber to counter cripple the collie rear
Well, during the devstream they said that the trailer didn't show everything "if you didn't see something for your faction, don't worry there's a lot more to come and we don't want to start any big controversies over why one side didn't get what - at least yet"
So I'm hoping both sides at least get a bomber & fighter.
I need that colonial fighter :D
Same went for Collies not getting subs wardens have more training when it comes to sub warfare because of it
Some anti-air options at least for emplacements, the wardens would definitely have the anti-infantry emplacement because it’s basically an anti-aircraft flak cannon used to turn infantry into ground beef, and they could perhaps have a secondary mode that can be used to target aircraft. For the colonials, I actually think having the Hades nest placement as an anti air option would be really interesting, as it was based off of a British designed anti-aircraft missile system called the Z battery that was being used during the blitz and also it would give a reason for its use, as I’ve never really seen it being used anywhere. I’m pretty sure the half tracks could definitely be outfitted with an anti-aircraft Cannon of some kind, I’m just not sure if it’s going to be AI, or players are gonna have to figure out how to hit planes from the top down perspective. I’m certain there would to be an AI defense structure if the devs can’t figure out how to make the aa gun usable for players.
Though since this is a big update, I would not be surprised if they would add two super units that are involved with the aircraft update, they could likely just do the easy option of giving both factions aircraft carriers, but I actually think they might try to include an airship carrier, these airships obviously weren’t used in a real war(they couldn’t never really figure out how to resupply and get the aircraft back into the airship safely in flight), but they have prototypes and they were tested by America in the inter war period, and since Foxhole takes a lot of inspiration from that era, I think it would be easy to fit in. But how would it work? Well, I have an idea, make it an aerial long hook. in which you have it be a spawn point for pilots, the aircraft(mostly fighters, and perhaps a transport plane or a glider) would be built on the airship, but they would be on a timer similar to the landing craft of the long hook(or can only land on the airship itself) but unlike the landing craft, they can be repaired and refueled by the airship with some type of landing implement(perhaps a long runway on the bottom) and storage space(perhaps a pulley system for resupplies), given its vast potential range and large frame(it would cast a vast shadow on the ground, but only aircraft and aa guns can hit it), I would think that this ship would be used in supporting naval battles, landings and other types of operations but be behind the frontlines as this airship would be incredibly fragile. it would likely have 2 AI aa guns on it, but it would likely not help you very much. I would think the normal aircraft carrier would likely function the same way or similarly but be a lot more tougher than the airship but possess far less operational range and containing more space for planes than the airship.
But then comes the question of who would receive the airship carrier, I think there are many arguments for both wardens and colonials to receive it but in my opinion, I think the wardens should be the ones to receive this super unit, as I believe the warden’s ww1 aesthetic of form over function, quality over quantity(they like to use older technology in an interesting new way and also the designers are given a lot more leeway and time to design their machines)approach, and the colonials aesthetically are more World War II oriented in their design philosophy being far more pragmatic in their approach to Vehicle design, believe it just fits better mechanically wise and lore wise for it to be a warden exclusive.
Other typers of planes that also can be added:
CAS(Close air support): Basically dive bombers, which can hit a single target like ships, tanks or a bank base, and on the same note, Torperdies can also be a subclass of CAS, instead of a bomb just being a torpedo, trying to hit ships, depth charges to anti-submarines missions.(maybe even drop sea mines too👀)
Interceptors/Heavy figthers: Different from figthers, they sacrifice mobility to have more fire power, they migth be excellent agest bombers or transport planes, but due to low speed they migth be unable to win a dogfigth agest a figther.
Scout Planes: No armament, but as long its on the air, it can work a watch tower, sending imformation to someone who has a radio, and helping in any operation
Well the devs did say that they didn't show everything they're working on in the trailer, although I kind of hope that if we do get torpedo planes, they're a little weaker than the submarine torpedoes, otherwise submarine use would fall right through the floor lol
If we do get scout planes, I wonder if we'll end up using the actual carrier search patterns from WW2 :o
@@BlueLaminate I hope we get some late war jets, rocket interceptors, and late game jet bombers and b29 equivalents. Loitering interceptors as you suggested is what is done IRL where interceptors have long flight times and long range missiles.
bring us the stukaaaaaa
@@Monarch_GNSG probaly in the future, i dont think they can add too many models in a single update
@@Monarch_GNSG i'd think stuff like heavy bombers or jet bombers might not be around anytime soon, those things have ludicrous range and fire power after all. if the bomber shown is already long ranged it would be really hard to balance with the current state of the game
Gabe needs to personally give foxhole the steam game of the year awards, but, only when they upgrade the servers
Imagine creating a partisan force and getting aerial air drops in certain points. You could sustain a constant sabotage operation. Especially if you can somehow get far back.
Really like your animation style, higher quality videos like these are the best!
Thanks :D The modeling & animation for this video took especially long (there's like,.... 4+ minutes of rendered animation here, which is WAYYYY more than my usual)
Airfield are also going to need their own dedicated logistic teams to rearm them in a good time span plus also repair crews as well.
The game is fking amazing. 4000h and still going strong.
I've basically bought the game to everyone on my friends list.
i have a question How will planes manage to cross the borders? Will it be a completely open map or will we hit the invisible border and wait for 5 seconds?
ohhh I forgot to talk about that. It was in my notes and everything. Planes waiting in place at a border would be funny, but I have a feeling that we might have to package them before crossing borders.... we'll just have to wait and see.
@@BlueLaminatedamn, so no bombing of logi hexes then?
I would imagine the plane just runs into the border and keeps flying till if you decide to attempt a turnaround or teleport. But don’t know if the vehicle will act like every vehicle if it just start at zero speed or the developers will attempt to keep aircraft at the original speed it was at when teleporting. But that assuming if the developer allow you to travel between areas with aircraft flying
Hot airborne Partizans in your area.
your video are so godd damm coool!! amazing job on the 3D model animation.
Something i am verh interested in is that if they add cargo planes and you can parachute your supplies if your surrounded how will the cargo be affected by the wind when it is falling down for example if the wind is too strong will the cargo land further than the expectee drop point and end up in the enemy base
Thanks, I'll have nightmares about that. HAHAHA
I used to play a game called advance wars on GBA. The never ending cycle of rock paper scissors between tanks, air units, and anti-air will begin
Nah, mech spam ez win Sami OP
The issue with air is that it will instantly become the most important domain to control and completely shift how wars are fought in Foxhole to a more strategic scale. It will also overwhelmingly benefit large and active regiments, because they will be the only ones that can produce and field large numbers of planes. Foxhole is loosely based on WW2, and that wasn't won by soldiers in trenches. It was won by mass bombing raids on industrial centers.
Well, if there's anything I've learned from late game foxhole:
The big clans usually need masses of randos for their big pushes anyway :D *hoping to score some free planes*
Eh, early game is ww1, mid is interwar, then late is ww2 it feels more like
Watched a few of ur vids now. I'm gonna have to pick up this game. Hope to see you on the battlefield.
Good luck. Don't forget to take breaks! :D
I’m hoping there is some imbalance in what types of aircraft each faction has, like the colonials getting a large bomber alongside a short ranged dog fighter whilst the wardens could get a form of dive bomber alongside their fighter-bomber
Well done video you have some good points I'm excited to see where this takes the game.
I'm so excited >_
You’re a great artist and animator fr, stay healthy.
Thanks, I'm all better now :D (with some sleep deprivation)
Dont forget if air planes are coming so are FLAK,S.
Damn I love your animations so much. They add so much
LOL HE WAS TOO EXCITED TO ANIMATE
HECK YEAH I WAS I'M AIRPLANE NERD AND MY FAVORITE GAME JUST ANNOUNCED PLANES FOR NEXT YEAR! :D
@BlueLaminate to be fair, I ain't gonna act like I'm not making a huge mega project that has all sorts of equipment modeled and now I'm moving on to planes
Yo if foxhole dose put aircraft carriers in the game that would be game changing too right.
The transport plane kind of looks like the Fairchild C-82 Packet, a late WW2/Cold war transport plane. I can't identify the other planes though, the fighter has a weird barrel air intake thing while the bomber looks kind of angular. Also, if you pause on the scene with the warden pilots running to their fighters, the shadow looks like an unshown plane that could be the warden bomber or transport. It has a pretty chunky body with engines that are very close to the fuselage.
0:58 Hermann Meyer, Stalingrad, 1943
1:50 or maybe airborne tanks like the M22 Locust or Tetrarch
I just love how you totally forgot about flak and AA fire that will make really hard for planes to enter areas...
I can’t wait to be a transport pilot. I can already imagine flying over anti air fire and telling paratroopers to go
These animation and models that look like army men are amazing good job
Thanks :D The animations for this video took a long time hahhaa
The Aircraft Carrier idea using decks or platforms would be sick idea!! I love planes.
Hopefully in this big update there will be Zeppelins, that would be nice and annoying? Just imagine this thing will shoot unlimited bullets and can kill its enemies in the trenches easily from the sky. And imagine ALSO if this thing also had a spawn system and unlimited paratroopers, and if it was possible that above the balloon there would be a parking space for the plane, so it could be that the plane would land on the balloon and be repaired by people and spam it again with full life. . This will be OP but yes the anti-air gun counter will definitely be very easy to destroy, at least?
I know my words sound nerdy and mostly imaginary? But this thing definitely exists. THERE MUST BE
Sounds like the Prydwen from Fallout HAHAHA
I'm rly very satisfied and inspired of looking with this storytalling style, awesome work! Sorry for such a direct question, but do you make the models yourself or do you find them in the game files? I'll understand if you don't answer.
Thanks :D
The buildings and vehicles are made from scratch, that way I can do stuff like cut them open (like in my tanking video) and rig them for animation, at least my style of animation.
After all.... foxhole hasn't released any planes yet so, I had to make them from scratch :D
@@BlueLaminate Keep going on!
addition of planes genuinely would shake up the late game meta alot, the potential for bombers to be a side grade of heavy arty that's a bit more safe, consistent, and flexible but lighter hitting and require more coordination may shake up the late game to be more mobile and not revolve around fire bases as much
I can see them making a high altitude sky layer where planes travel quickly and can fight each other. With only flak cannons reaching them. Then if they want to do precise bombing or strafing they have to fly slower at low altitude. Exposing themselves to more short range AA. Also the AA space problem isn't a problem if you can build AA on top of an AT bunker.
My day job is a flight instructor and as someone that has hopped in and out of foxhole over the years its pulling me right back in.
I will say keeping it semi realistic would be a good idea. Or else this is going to turn into top down war thunder very quickly. If people walk in, spend all this time building their fighter, then crash it instantly, it’ll keep new players from really using it too often and leave it to large groups with trained foxhole pilots to master.
I also think it will make those large ass battleships pretty useless. Take the Bismark for example. One of the biggest strongest most powerful battleships in WW2, and died because a single biplane with a single torpedo took out its rudder turning it into a turkey in a turkey shoot.
Ground attack airplanes should also be a must, something similar to the IL2, will move frontlines so much faster. It’ll help break the tide of things like bridge battles where all you would have to do is just launch a ground attack over and blow up half of the bunkers.
Recon airplanes would also be pretty cool. It could be the only airplane you could switch to first person in.
Finally keep out aircraft carriers, they would be too strategically op. Keep the fuel capacity of the airplanes very limited as well. So taking airfields becomes vital.
tbh i don't think battleships would become obselete because of the healthpool, them having more aa and as you saw in war 117 using them as off shore bombardment.
i think aircraft carriers would actually be a good thing let's take the naval invasion in war 117 what if colonials had the planes well wardens would have had it be way harder but with a carrier the wardens also could use airplanes.
what i think they should do is make the carrier to be the same as a super heavy (SH opposed to other tanks in cost to build).
but i'm on board with the ground attack planes like the thunderbolt, stuka and the IL2.
I hope that they add planes to home region so people can practice not crashing
Then you can be a flight instructor in-game too HAHAHAHA
Hopefully they don't actually make battleships useless, I bet it'll be hard to balance though.
And hey, I can dream. Of aircraft carriers. Quite Overpowered aircraft carriers. Till the submarine wolfpacks show up hahaha
hai, your blender animations are amazing!!! do you mind sharing how did you get so experienced in blender and how long does it usually take you to create those animations?
Thanks! :D
I'm self-taught for blender, lots of youtube tutorials.
Depends on the animation. For example, the Linn of Mercy Video took some 10+ hours to model all the new things, and another 10 ish hours to animate.
This video took me slowly making models while I was sick then spending a 3-day weekend animating & doing a lot of overnight renders.
It takes a while for the crazy stuff lol
@@BlueLaminate it is very time consuming but i appreciate your effort and i honestly think that it is worth the time! keep up the good work! :) the Linn of Mercy video is my favorite and that animation definitely got a lot of people including me hooked to watch the video until the end
@@destioz Thanks :D
and that's exactly the reason why I spend so much time on the intro animations hahaha :D
@@BlueLaminate waw, that is smart! i also wanted to say that your thumbnails are unique, they make your videos stand out and people want to click them, do you draw those characters on the thumbnails yourself?
Hi Laminate. Don't know if you remember the 340th from Base Sagitta many wars ago. I showed up briefly in that video. It wasn't clear at the time, but we've actually been training to be a Paramarine regiment for a while, so the announcement that planes and paratroopers were being added to the game got us more hype than you can imagine. Hopefully you can wear the Beret with us someday!
GUNBOAT GUY!
I'm sure that if you call for randoms to join a jump enough times, I'll end up in one of those jumps HAHAHAHA
@@BlueLaminate I'm looking forward to it!
Awww yeah as an aircraft technician in training i see this as the biggest win
You can be an aircraft technician irl and in game soon :D HAHAHAHA
KEKW if I have the time I definitely will
incredible video. and this plus one other vid made me buy the game. see you on the battlefield
So in a game where I cant aim my rifle up or down, infantry AT weapons are always at critical or zero levels, now we have to worry about supplying AA as well?
Air Traffic Control will be interesting on each of the Air Fields. Gonna need a grounds team and work heavily with Logi to get replacements and even defenses to protect the airfield along side enemy Patricians using the parachutes to get behind lines to hit Logi and more. So Watchtowers will be more vital and people will be needing to watch the Map even more.
The LARP / RP will be funny on ATC Radio or even funny Take Off Talks to the Paratroopers hahahahaha
was waiting for this masterpiece
:D
Omg dude these animations are amazing!!!
Thanks! This video took wayyy too long to model & animate for hahaha
@ hahaha 😂 well since you did it you’re better at it now so you can reuse assets!! 👹
aircraft will most likely be locked behind facilities much like the large ships. nothing unusual there as the logistic train of an aircraft and its ground crew can be fairly large. my concern is in two parts.
One: how and where will they land/takeoff? will they be world generated airfields to give players a more strategic objective? if so, what's to keep the large clans from "claiming" these airfields?
Two: with the ability to fly completely over massive trench and bunker lines to strike behind enemy lines wont this functionally make artillery and tank obsolete? will you be able to just tap relics behind enemy lines with nothing but a couple of bombers?
to sum it all up: I am very excited for aircraft and am looking forward to their implementation however i have some pretty serious reservations about how they will affect the "meta" of the game.
aircraft carriers when?
If I had to guess, the airplane hulks currently in the game might be some kind of attacker or fighter-bomber as an in between the fighter and bomber
It's slowly becoming the full-spectrum war video game I dreamed of as a kid in the '80s
I really can't imagine how planes can be played with this kind of camera.
This video was great!!!! Thank you very much!!!
As a real pilot and war sim pylote I really hope they make it realistic so people like me can have a monopoly on flying :D
Dear glob.
I'm getting battlefield 3 flashbacks.... those Jet pilots with like 1000 hours in the game T_T
Wouldn't it be fairly easy to have barrage balloons not visible unless you're in an aircraft? Like obviously you'd still see the lines going up to where it's deployed, sort of like how you see the trunks of trees, but the devs have already implemented a lot with the visibility of layers. I'd think this would be pretty easy.
I think the runways themselves will probably be preplaced by the devs. And then players can build taxiways and hangars (also I’m assuming all the naval ships are getting a overhaul with lots of AA turrets especially on the battleship)
I love these models! is there any tutorial or do you have any tips for making these models myself?
Thanks :D
Honestly, it's a lot of practice through youtube university :D
i dont have the game (yet) but im also very hyped but my concern is that the map isnt big enough for planes. or am i wrong? i dont really know pls let me know
I think Airplanes may be on their own "Ariel" Layer instead of "in" a hex with ground units like other vehicles. They would of course be able to effect one another but for server/load times they would be separate.
Like if it was a regular vehicle that was just above the ground then imagine going between hexes in a Plane. Just crashing into the wall or flying alongside it for 5 seconds
I think that the devs said that they'll be on the same layer, and I really wonder how they'll deal with the border queues for planes, hopefully it doesn't mean we have to package them between hexes.
I just wanna ask did you make all the model from scratch or you just exported it I been wanting to make little compilation of what happening in the front I know how to make models and simple animations in blender buts its kinda hassle to make all the tanks boats and models from scratch
idk if youtube bugged but I can't tell if my reply posted so I'll try again-
All the buildings & Vehicles are made from scratch so I can do stuff like animating cutting them open (like in my tanking video).
After all... Foxhole doesn't have planes yet so.... yeah hahaha :D
@BlueLaminate ohh cool been seeing free models of foxhole but only the uniforms I was planning to make one of major battle last war
its going to make the game fully shift from hybrid trench/urban warfare, to full WW2 style open warfare
Maybe it will be necessary to redistribute and balance the buildings to fit in the airfields, giving also a new balance to the game.
When I started to play the game back then in 2017 I'd have never thought that Foxhole would get this big one day.
The question I constantly asking myself is how are planes supposed to work with the region border?
I'm hoping that they don't have to be packaged.
Maybe we'll be able to automatically orbit them while waiting in queue?
LEAVE A LIKE HE PUT ALOT OF WORK INTO IT
💯💯💯
i would bet one of the smaller planes would probably be added alongside a catapult system making frontline QRF plane be treated much like big artillery or missile site
How are these videos made?? What do you use to animate the map?
Blender 3D! :D
I'm just curious as you how they're going to handle moving from one zone to another
It would be interesting how the new airfield could make for an exciting stategical points to attack/defend
can't wait for the range of these to be miniscule
I haven’t played foxhole yet watching a bunch of videos before I start. But I assume it will be like real life. AirPower will be everything if you don’t control the sky’s you won’t have a chance
Don't you think both factions will get a bomber, fighter, and transport? Maybe one side gets a light dive bomber, the other a heavy; one gets a turn fighter, the other boom and zoom. Something like that.
I think both sides will get one of each, the devs did say that they didn't show every plane in the trailer and said something like "dont panic about your side not getting x vehicle" hahaha
Everyone got traumatized by one side having a destroyer and the other having the submarine during the first naval update HAHAHA
ok but a point nobody seem to consider: how changing hex will work will in a plane?
you can't just "wait" at the frontier not moving...
All planes will have VTOL capabilities
Jk jk but in all seriousness the devs didn't say anything, and I'm getting a bad feeling that they'll have to be packaged before crossing.
Or maybe there'll be a way to automatically orbit while waiting in queue. We'll just have to wait and see :)
There would probably be a version of the transport plane that has an open back as it very closely resembles the Fairchild AC-119.
I want actual training to be a thing on the home region for planes though. Could you imagine grinding hundreds of hours to get a plane built and then have it get destroyed in 2 minutes because theres no tutorial on how to operate it? Honestly the same could be said for ships and tanks (The armored car doesn't cut it for training purposes). The home region needs a serious make make over.
Yeah, I really hope that they give us planes in home region.
Then we'll have flight instructor larp HAHAHAHA
I got the game yesterday and holy hell, I like being a Medic, Tank Gunner and BOAT
you sir, are a true artist
Thanks :D I try my best
When it comes to airfields, and their specific size. Probably what's gonna happen? Is there there are going to be smaller runways that players can make to land fighters and supply planes, and then there are gonna be bigger runways that are on the map already like logistics hubs where bombers will operate out of this is pretty much how it worked in real life as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.You had fire bases and then you had fighter bomber bases, and then you had bomber bases, I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped the fighter bomber base for complexity reasons
Blimps going transparent for people on the ground layer, I dont think you have anything to worry about
True, kind of like buildings today. Might be a little hard to see whats under masses of blimps that are further away though, kind of like that roof of crates I put somewhere in the video, but I guess that turning them invisible too would be an easy fix.
i’m just looking forward to flying air cover for the boys and my vtol vr/il-2 experience will come in ise
I think a change in the map would be cool, like adding a island just for planes and airports.
What Shard should a new player start on?
The "real" war is on able, and charlie shard is supposedly more new-player friendly.
I've only played on charlie for all of 10 minutes to get footage for this video, so I'm HEAVILY biased towards able lol
as for air defence, warden already have one. the EMG. the dev just need to add alternative ammo so it also has flak damage.
What if we... Pointed up? *gasp*
(I hope we do get the option to point up)
@@BlueLaminate maybe there will be alternative firing mode or something, so we can shoot normaly, then switch to shoot the air.
Well... the only way they are going to pull this off, in my opinion, is to have dedicated places for airfields but that would make the meta of the game rush such places, so if that is not the case and you could build everywhere, so.
They will have an air hex above the ones we already have, but on that hex there will be only planes so the hex can be bigger, like 5 hex to 1 air hex. You can use arty against another hex so how would anti-air defenses work?
The piloting of this thing is also a big "?" for me. How the hell are you going to dogfight? If we see 30+ air battles, it would be insane just because of how resource-heavy these things are going to be.
The LARPING is going to be like watching a episode of masters of air KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
We'll just have to wait and see, though I think they said that the planes will be on the same layer as everyone else.
I hope they figure out how to make dogfights work.
But yeah.... the LARP is going to be AMAZING.
Great video! i just hope they add Battle Zeppelins and carriers as the tier 3 air behemots
I can already imagine the ominous shadow of an approaching battle zeppelin HAHAHA
I wonder if they will allow some customization, painting decals on the sides of planes that are User Made, or even attaching things like miniature bombs to the fighters to turn them into Fighter Bombers, or do what the Soviets did and slap 88 PPSHs to the bombbay for the ultimate strafing run.
As much as I would love nose art, I think that'd get abused instantly for typical internet things lol
Divebombers would be crazy @_@ *Stuka Siren Noises*
Edit: Stuka Siren Noises
After seeing this video, I know which faction I will join when i get the game. I will say no more.
As a pilot in a lot of the games I play I am really looking forward to trying the update when it hits. Unfortunately im in no clans and these will defs be clan exclusive
Well if there's anything I've learned in foxhole, it's that if you wait till late war, there's a lot of opportunities to try out all the equipment as long as you're nice (I've once seen a LCpl be given the opportunity to drive a battleship).
Collies usually have something like a bluefin with hundreds of Public Spathas late war. And in War 117, WLL dropped 300+ Gunboats+ Ammo in one seaport so people could gunboat without having to make it themselves :D
Collies will probably set up an “Air Force” discord that you can join without a regi and see when people are asking for crew
I want each faction to eventually get fighters and bombers, and aircraft carriers for them.
If size/balancing is an issue, maybe aircraft carriers can only carry fighters, but fighters could have multiple variants. (Fighter, small bomber, ect)
Then the heavier bombers could hit harder without aircraft carriers making them too OP.
The devs did state that the ydidn't show all the planes in the teaser trailer, so I think both sides are getting some kind of fighter and bomber. *crosses fingers*
Would love to see dive bombers and *small not as strong as submarine torps* torpedo planes.
