Rocketeers are called Rocket Rangers in my mod.
Reminiscent of RA2 and Yuri's Revenge.

Now I want to start working on their models.
I could just simply grab a model of a Ranger; put Miniguns and a sort of Jetpack thing then re-code them to act like Comanches.

Though the thing is... Cyberkinetic Tengu for the Boss General. They have wings and I want them to flap while they're in idle status. Also, I want it have an attack animation when it attacks(the wings will freeze for awhile while the attack animation).

I plan to make the Cyberkinetic Tengu to have a special attack too. Where it spreads it wings, there will be a barrage of stuff(small missiles or lasers whatever suits my mind).

I need to learn about animating Aerial Infantry.
Anybody have an idea of it?

why do I get a feeling you watch too many eastern cartoons?
anyway, animating air units is no different to animating ground ones, so I recommend few animation tuts before taking up the challenge and off u go. flapping wings is a simple pingpong animation (rotation) though.

You can separate the wings into a different model so that the animation for the wings will always be playing regardless of what the unit is doing. The two models are combined back together ingame via codes. Examples for these are the bomb-bay doors on the bombers and cargo planes.
