Air superiority being fought over above the clouds, while the ground war wages on below them. Targeting highflying aircraft through cloud cover would be very difficult as would trying to drop bombs/soldiers accurately through them, but not impossible. This all becomes more dynamic and interesting depending on the weather situation at the time.

That's a really interesting thought Nitro - cloud cover could naturally do altitude balancing as I describe without any other code changes necessary. It would also create very different flying characteristics on each continent if the weather patterns are different. Hossin might have low fog in many places, or Cery might have thick clouds up in those mountains. And all they would need is for cloud cover to break line of sight for lock-on weaponry.

I can see some rich gameplay as a result of that.
