I think I'm gonna start using Albatross/Manta gunruns instead of missiles only. Last time I tried it was way back after release and they almost always used to fail on the approach without firing a single shot. Now it seems to work gloriously well.
I've almost never used guns on my aircraft, but It looks very effective. I think I'll give that a try. Btw, I'm not sure if you're aware of how the barge system works now. They will only drop off to your Carrier. They won't drop off to any island anymore. I just leave them by the island then only tell them what to do when I'm placing an order.
@@Atova you want to add some insult to injury (and this shows how old I am) - the original I played on Atari ST HAD autopilot for the carrier! [I just found an original manual online to confirm] - you would set the waypoint and engine speed for a destination [several waypoints] and then hit a "go" button
@@mightydrew1970 I just noticed a few days ago that a modern port of CC1 is in the Steam store now for ten quid (US). Think it is based off the DOS version.
This game reminds me of Antaeus Rising. Great classic!

Oh my days I didn't know that! Will have to reassign all mine =D
I need to play this game again too! LoL
You mention Autopilot and I was just searching the Steam Workshop to see if an autopilot exists...
I wish, all I want is a carrier autopilot mod!
