Back to the Paktahns then. For as much eyecandy as they are, how do they fare in combat? Like was mentioned earlier, the Gothra is a pain to kill when it's dead-set on launching torpedoes. An explanation of how you think this Paktahn bomber fares with it's weapons, manueverability, and anything else really would be pretty cool. Do you see as you play parts of the game that this is a nasty, dangerous nut to crack?
I ask because I take a look at WC3 and realize how incredibly mean those heavier Kilrathi fighters and bombers could be when the difficulty was raised. It'd great to be able to fly against Paktahns and Vaktoths that make the player cringe in fear, and I was wondering if any of you have come to do that as you test elements of the game.
EDIT: Oh, and one other thing... I see that in one of the screens that there is a large amount of flame surrounding part of the bomber. Is that in-game battle damage something we can expect to see in Saga missions, or is it a special circumstance set up for just that shot? Either way, the image sure gets a cinematic feel from it.
(Btw, I forgot to commend you before Sphynx... I've got a lot of screenshots of WC ships and I've never seen an in-game Paktahn look that awesome. I don't know how you did it, but seeing things like that always makes me think of how far it's all come since the older games were released. The originals look like cardboard cutouts compared to these after all.
Simply incredible.)
