Well, I wasn't refering to the ground-fighting part of Battlezone, but to the command interface. you would have a command fighter you would fly around and give orders, that inside a Homeworld-like environment...
Personally, I don't think that would work well in a fighter, cause the battles in WC are pretty fast-paced... and being in command of the entire fleet would work, but IMO it would be too much like Homeworld (and there's already a WC mod for Homeworld out there, after all
)... But if you were in command of something like a squadron of destroyers or cruisers then that could definitely work, too (specially since some destroyers and cruisers in WC have the ability to carry fighters) - you would receive assignments from the Admiral of the fleet, then give orders to the ships under your command and things like that... That could work, since it'd be like a mix between Homeworld and Armada, but still being a storyline-driven game like most other WC games

But your idea is pretty good too. It'd be silly to think that the confed armed forces is comprised exclusively of Spaceships and marines!!! ok, there are some tanks in wc3 and 4. but maybe we could throw a couple of mechs for good measure, eh?
Not to mention infantry, atmospheric fighters, and whatnot. Before the appearance of walkers and the furies, Battlezone was pretty damn cool with just tanks, cause there were all kinds of tanks - APCs, scouts, heavy tanks, etc - lots of variety!
I presume there must be many different kinds of ground vehicles in WC, too, since in some battles there's probably no air support at all - so all functions would have to be performed by ground vehicles... so I think a ground-based game with atmospheric fighters and some kind of mission-planning and a persistent game world like I mentioned earlier could be a very unique gaming experience instead of just a Battlezone copy... if done right, of course. It only takes a few idiots to screw up even the most perfect concept of a game
