you see cover systems in plenty of tactical games nowadays, such as almost all of the Tom Clancy games or Gears of War. what i'm asking isn't really for something like theirs, just for something that can artificially "lock" me to a wall, sand barrier, etc. this kind of thing usually allows for "peeking" around corners with a relatively low chance of getting spotted or at least hit as well. An important subject to bring up on this topic is to make sure you can't see more than you should because of the third-person camera, which allows for a bit of "cheating." Ideally, (in my most humble opinion,) this would be controlled via a key near the 'shift' or 'alt' keys that would, when toggled or held, force a player into a position near a building or at least waist high object and only allow one to sidle along it and peering at edges. Uses of this are to create an environment where it is easy to remain in cover (or at least to let you know you are in cover) and give a greater sense of safe mobility under fire, of which there is little in games that lack such a system. Another almost unprecedented use of such a system (again, at least in arma) is the ability to "stack up" on a doorway in order to clear a compound or building (which I do believe in all my heart that the creators have allowed AI to act freely within ;) this seems to sum up my ideas on the topic, i thank you if you made it all the way through my exposition and hope that you will support my idea(s) -Brought to you by Matt/Wolfram, the leader in educated guessing and tomfoolery P.S. more, possibly less detailed, ideas in the near future.

in CTI or warfare game modes you can create an aircraft factory that makes helis at your base. this does not seem to make actual fixed-wing aircraft in any way whatsoever, no matter where you put it. My question is, can you get fixed wing aircraft in the cti or warfare game modes at all? and if so, how? it would depress me to no end if i could not crash a c-130 into my friend's T-55 or actually make a bombing run with an a-10. any answer would be greatly appreciated.
