You cannot have explosions in the air like that.I wish you could. I was thinking the same. But, they take up memory, and with 24 vehicles per side, a bunch of vehicles on the battlefield, and 1000 troops per side, it's a little...overworked...

A Beta Version (0.5) will be released soon.

Vehicles, units and all effects affiliated with them (Graphics effects, lighting, textures and others) need resources, which become more important with the number of vehicles, soldiers, etc... So, you do not have to try a map with 2000 units, 48 vehicles and sky's effects to understand such a thing can't be done without any problem...

This is a good question... But if it was possible, you should reduce the number of vehicles and units, and have a PC with good performances in gaming to see properly those effects...

Well, no, explosions are not possible really. If explosions could be placed, they'd be random flying explosions blowing up and staying blown up. Kinda weird...

dipstick, maybe the new consoles have an important power, but they do not have the same potential of modding, contrary to our PC's. That's why this forum is there...
