- "Instead of using this for bombing terrorist hideouts, you can now use it for bombing zombie hordes!"
- ―Edison Lakasi
Summary
The Airstrike will first give you a bird's eye view of the map while your cursor now becomes a big red target. Clicking once confirms the location. Then, your cursor becomes a blue arrow which spins around the targeted area which then dictates in which directions the Plane will fly at. Clicking again confirms the direction.
After a short delay, the Plane will fly in and carpet bomb where you have planted the target and in the direction of the arrow.
Background Story
With the apocalypse overshadowing the world, remnants of the world's military banded together to fight against the new threat, ignoring all past hostilities in order to achieve unity.
This new combined force began offering services to the survivors around the world. Though slightly hampered by language barriers, the Airstrike proved to be one of the most popular form of assistance the survivors has bought, other than training with defibrillators and other medical items.
It's rumoured that the members of the former United States Marine Corps are interested in supplying the survivors with Napalm strikes instead of the regular Airstrikes.
