No, it's not silly, Renegade X is based on c&c Renegade, which is based on c&c tiberian dawn.
And I'll say again, the only reason why the obelisk shoots at air units and why ramjets were so effective against air units, was due to Westwood's lack of time to implement rocket/missile tracking in their rush to get the air patch out... It's also why, air units spawn from the wf/as and not from helipads which were omitted
Since C&C2 units are being added. We've already strayed away from the game vision that was C&C Renegade.
Is there just no way to create helipads and SAM sites?
