Recently, i've been thinking about ideas for a new RTS set in modern times. The combatants would be China and the U.S. and possibly the countries of the European Union. It would include air, land, and sea combat, and most modern weapons. I've even thought of some units for the U.S. faction. Here they are, along with a tiny bit of backstory. Bear in mind that I don't have much information on the army or navy, so the amount of units in those categories is only what I can recall right now. Which isn't much.
The United States of America:
The U.S. military is on a mission to bring burning American justice by air, land and sea. With well armed troops and heavy weapons, the U.S. can maintain battlefield control and make devestating late game strikes. The U.S. forces are rather expensive, but pay for themselves in time.
Army:
Someone has to bear the brunt of combat, and the army does that just fine.
Units:
Soldiers: Normal infantry armed with grenade launcher equiped M-16s. They can switch from conventional firing to the grenade launcher very quickly.
Snipers: They snipe people. Duh.
Navy:
These guys make going for a walk on the beach a serious health hazard.
Units:
Supercarriers: Largest objects in the game, these ships carry massive numbers of F-18 Hornets and Super Hornets.
Marines: Early strike forces that are equipped to deal with any enemy.
Navy SEALs: Special forces who blow things up and shoot stuff. Chuck Norris wishes he were half as cool as the Navy SEALs.
Air Force:
These men are charged with the task of continuing the great American tradition of blowing thngs up. They do it well.
Units:
F-16: The backbone of the Air Force, the F-16 is a poweful multirole jet.
F-15: The F-15 is one of the most powerful fighters in the game. Do not mess with one.
B-52: The B-52 has been in service since 1955 and is expected to remain in service untill 2040. The fact that the Air Force plans to use it for 85 years should be enough to prove that this thing is awesome. In case that wasn't enough, it also carries 70,000 pounds of bombs.
A-10: The A-10 is a plane attached to a gun. That is not a grammatical error. This thing is like a flying chainsaw that shoots lasers and is harder to kill than a werewolf. The A-10 can annnihalate a group of tanks within minutes with its GAU-8 Avenger cannon. The A-10 can also take as much punishment as it dishes out, because it is able to fly despite the loss of a stabalizer fin, an engine and half of a wing.
AC-130: The AC-130 is agunship, plain and simple. It comes in two variants, the AC-130H and the AC-130U. Both models have something in common: anything that they target dies.
B-2: The B-2 is a steath bomber. Nearly undetectable on radar, and heavily armed, the B-2 is like a ninja with a 3 megaton bomb. Awesomeness does not coome cheap however, and the price of a B-2 is greater that the yearly GDP of some countries, at more than $1,000,000,000
F-22: The F-22 is, quite frankly, the best fighter plane ever built. Equipped with stealth, high tech avionics and a simulated kill ratio of 221 to 0, The F-22 decimate an enemy airforce with missiles, bombs, and rays of pure awesomeness. The only drawback is the fighters stratospheric cost.
