Discussion>>
(Copied over from the BIS forum section "Warfare" under the topic "Warfare 1.0" section at the request of Alef) There's always room for more "versions" of CTI. I'd say give MM two weeks well deserved holiday then hit him up for some addition features.

Countermeasure Flares

for aircraft and helicopters. Limit of 3, and 10 seconds to reset per discharge.

New structures

Base flag

max 3 deployed
Deployed by MHQ or Command APC
If any one of these flags is captured by the enemy, this side loses (90seconds to capture)

Radar tower

Avail after radar upgrade

Commander buys troops and veh for human players here.
AI units must be able to Fast Travel to the town supply depot closest to your position, and fast travel costs must be paid by cash on hand prior to departure.
reports approximate (large map grid) location of incoming artillery source.

Payroll Vault/Bank

Pay is issued to the bank, and you must withdraw from the Bank to cash on hand to purchase units
- Damage to the structure means monetary loss to your account
A friendly town supply depot can deposit only your cash on hand, but you cannot withdraw money from it
Cash on hand needed for Supply depot menu (rearm/refuel/repair/jeep/motorcycle), fast travel costs, AI fast travel costs
When you die/respawn, you lose your cash on hand

Helipad and large tent

To rearm and refuel (fast rate, costs money, losing tent = loosing resupply ability)
Acts like town supply depot

Command Bunker

Acts like town supply depot for land vehicles (fast rate, closed roof to avoid abuse, costs money, no wpns)
Allows Fast Travel destination option in "T" menu
Order troops and vehicles from factories. Must pay for Fast Travel costs with cash on hand before departure.
Allows cash deposit, but no withdrawl from player accounts.

SUPPLY

Deliver supplies to 10 towns or 10 mortar/artillery ammo pallets to artillery at least 500m distance away (fast travel resets counter)

REPAIR

- 15 damaged vehicles (with more than 50% damage or immobile)

SALVAGE

20 vehicles

ANTI-TANK

- 12 Tanks (BMP/Shilka/Stryker/Vulcan/non-tank vehicles counts as 0.5)

SNIPER

ARMOR

- Kill 15 tanks with a tracked vehicle

ARTILLERY

Income update

A toggle "request balance" in the "T" menu to get your account balance if you're not getting income, and re-cook the script so you get your paycheque
Possible splitting of funds like in Sahrani Life to separate cash on hand vs Banked account funds+possible Vault base structure

Commander designated mission/battle town

Normal income very low, and when commander designates a town as the current objective, enemy killed or destroyed income is doubled or tripled until town captured
- Say $10 normally reward for enemy soldier killed, vs $30-$50 per soldier killed when the town is the Commander's designated mission/battle objective

Loss

If you lose an AI under your command, or lose a vehicle you're driving/flying, your bank balance is reduced also a %. (ouch)

"Gear" option

"Gear" option at town camps not available until town is supplied by a friendly supply truck
Remove artillery option
Add mortar option

Introduce 20 sec delay to Vikhr lock-on

Add pulsing locking tone during 20 seconds, and solid tone for lock-on with diamond lock HUD

Salvage truck

Option to salvage abandoned, damaged, stuck vehicles, not just destroyed hulks
- Will help clean up stuck supply/salvage truck traffic jams
Option to salvage weapons and gear from dead bodies. I think a menu command would be best for this, or else it could be abused to strip equipment from alive AI and players!!!

Capturing Towns

Capturing the town Supply Depot does not flip all camps to your side.
Side with the most camps (over 50.5%) gets a fraction of the supply and monetary awards.
Missing 1 camp=50%, missing 2 camps=25%.

Bugs

Gear

Laser marker in rocket launcher slot

Non player controlled AI in AA pods
