Fight 1
Forming alliances with the AI on the fly would be awesome. Just like in RA1 when you hear AIs battling each other, suddenly silence, and then they'll going after you instead.
Lightning rods are a good thing to counter or attract thunderstorms. Tesla coils could withstand lighning and act as lightning rods. Power plants could also act as lightning rods, but they'll be destroyed instead. Even though, it's still a border case without ion storms.
Fight 2
Uhm... what Ren said.
Seriously. Adding too much realism is unfun. Want everything to behave like it would in the real world? Probability suggests most of you didn't like Physics in school. And now you want it, nonetheless?
If you got a dozen of Conscripts shooting at one single GI, by the time the GI is dead, your Conscripts would have decimated themselves. Same would hold true for tanks. Yeah, that's realism. YR is not designed to support that.
Realism.
How the hell can a magnetron actually lift a tank? If real world physics apply, with magnetic forces or some kind of radiation, it could only move it collinear to the virtual line between them, but never orthogonal to that. (Except for when the magnetron actually shoots a stream of positrons through the tank, shooting west to east, therefore using the earth's magnetic field to induce Lorentz force to lift the tank, of course. But we all know that's impossible as a positron would not fly through the tank [roughly for the same reason you can't x-ray a tank], it would most likely hit one of its nuclei, thereby converting a neutron into a proton causing some decay, or anihilate, if it hits an electron, creating two mesons. But that's not important here, as it isn't decisive for the outcome of the war.)
Do we need SubjectToTinFoil for Mind Control? No known mind rays can pass though tin foil. Ask your local goverment.
I also don't like the streak thing, but hey.
