1. Carpet bombing was strategic, which is outside of the scope of the mod. I can say, however, that the way in which aircraft and anti-aircraft are represented will be quite different. Aircraft, much like artillery, will not always be available to provide support. It might show up when you need it, or it might show up when you no longer need it. Anti-aircraft will be available in much larger numbers. For example, the Americans get access to M15A1 CGMCs and M16 MGMCs at the Corps level, so many battlegroups would have access to them.
2. We are not using Commanders or Intel Bulletins at all. If Relic adds support for custom Commanders and Intel Bulletins, we will look into ways to incorporate them. We actually had some great ideas during the Beta, but have not been able to pursue them since full modding was disabled.
3. There are a lot of mods that make infantry somewhat meaningless in their pursuit of total realism. We will probably be somewhere in between, where an almost entirely infantry force can still take on an almost entirely armored force.
Contrivance might have more to say or even correct some of the things I've said.
We have been hard at work on the UI, going through various revisions. Hopefully we will have more to share on that soon. Functionally, it has come a long way, but there is still a lot left to do. There are a few issues we have run into and reached out to Relic about, so hopefully those get fixed before any kind of release.
