Perhaps commander controlled airstrikes could be implemented like the JDAM in regular PR, though maybe smaller in size and with a quicker reload. Say a p-52/p-47 or Stuka/bf-109 flies overhead and drops a bomb or two when called in by an officer. Just a thought

yeah, and predator missiles and nukes too please jokes asides, I wouldn't mind more airstrikes, but then they would be made by players in aircraft. Why would you need more 'gamey' stuff like commander airstrikes? What's realistic or even fun about it? Calling over squadleader chat that you have a laze standing by for bomb drop and seeing it fly over after you called it in is one of the coolest things in PR Why make it so simple and 'gamey'?

What's 'gamey' about it? It'd work just like the JDAM, but without the laze because obviously they didn't have the technology back then to do so, so calling one in would have to be done another way. Maps like Operation Overlord are not designed for aeroplanes, so this could be a good substitute.

I hate the JDAM. Therefore I shiver by seeing this or anything similar in normandy too. Besides, I think there is already a artillery strike in normandy atm.

It's Mortars, just like when there weren't deployable mortars in PR, this could be a solution as the maps doesn't have the planes, could be a cool addition and AD told that if someone have the code he could trying getting it in-game.

We have arty for the commander.

Airstrike is a awsome idea for a commander asset, I think it should be in normal PR as well. I had plans of writing out a suggestion at a later date.
