[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1496354, member: 14403"] Have you read any of the fan posts on their ideas of creating a Twilight: 2030? It seems they want it to become more of a Sci-Fi game than a gritty war-story game. Lasers and Power Armor... I seriously don't see it happening in 26 years. The F-15, the Air Force's most advanced [I]operational[/I] air superiority fighter I believe was designed in the early 70's. There is quite a lag between design and operation. I just don't see man-portable lasers becoming the infantry weapon of choice when plain old reliable bullets do the same job. Congress has also been moving away from researching new technologies in favor of improving existing ones. They axed the Commanche helicopter and the Crusader artillery system and are planning on improving the Apache instead and generally view artillery as a thing of the past in an age of cruise missiles.
