That is also a good idea.

Oh yeah on the subject of ammos. Is it possbile to add a reload sound for example:

Reload.report=
EmptyReload.report=

It would be nice to have these.

Is there an easier way using Anim-to-unit logic to create our Vehicles?

Looks like Trajectory=Straight has been added, but even with the nightly build this feature hasn't been implemented yet

I don't use Ares, and thus wouldn't take advantage of it, but I propose a refill mechanic for support vehicles.

It occurred to me that in the field, some MLRS unit regularly requires some other vehicle to load it with fresh missiles, which in game terms is similar to the repair IFV adding negative damage. If it isn't already possible, perhaps make reloading possible via a weapon, and give any reloading vehicle the awareness to seek out units that need a reload. It would be awesome to have it work automagically the way the repair IFV works, so it doesn't have to be told to do it when set to guard.

Of course you could make it a generic mechanic that helps reload any unit that needs a reload, or add a bunch of logic to make it specific to a particular list of units.

PS. I could see this useful for ships and maybe landable aircraft that aren't pad-bound.

I request that the Missile Launcher weapon FLH be used that has a Burst more than 2 especially with units that launches 3 or more missiles

It's Great that the AlternateFLHX has been fixed with Vehicle Passengers, but with an Opentopped Turreted Unit, all the AlternateFLH is on the turret instead of the body, hopefully it gets fixed in the later builds

In case this project is still active, I think there is some use for a convergence of the expanded "who-gains-veterancy-from-what" customizability, and the "limbo units" mechanic.

If there was a way to specify that a given object would gain experience from any/all/some units of its owning player, and that object existed in limbo, the promotion mechanic of Gen/ZH could be re-created. The limbo object would accrue experience and eventually transition to another type, which could unlock new technos/upgrades.

While a faithful recreation of the Gen/ZH mechanic doesn't require the source of the experience to be customizable, the highest level of customizability of this feature that I still see possible would be to allow a list of TechnoTypes which a unit gains experience from if they score a kill and are owned by the same player. But perhaps other forms of customizability beyond simply limiting it to certain TechnoTypes are conceivable.

Getting some nasty crashes at the start of any game with different EIPs on the latest build 42
I can provide excepts if necessary
While I'm at it, how does Phobos fixes Jumpjets not turning to firing to target?

Phobos page on states that "Fixed jumpjet units being unable to turn to the target when firing from a different direction."

But how?

Yes, I also had this question. My units still behave the same bugged ra2 way, so it must need some code.

I Also use release candidate, but haven't been getting unusual crashes except for one thing: You should not kill the process by closing the window. There are RAM corruption problems. Resetting the PC ended the AI issue that was plaguing my games after a while.

Jumpjet units should be fixed by default, if you are using OmniFire= on the unit's weapon then you need to remove it.

I had to read the entire changelog of the latest version, and it said that the obsolete JumpjetControls was added back, so you need to add "TurnToTarget=yes" on [JumpjetControls] for this function to work correctly. Also I think you need to add "OmniFire=no" on the weapon itself, but I haven't tested without this tag, and I'm not willing to (this thing gave me too much of a headache)

Is the Phobos project still alive?
Is there a list somewhere with all the improvements it brings?
