aye but you can rush composite rails with a side order of homing as is, the electric engine is cheap and quick but would go with gas.
In mine and Deif's scripts, 50 cal is in mechanical, DU is in physics, but mechanical isn't a tree you need to open now. It's just like the other ones.
For dear god, dont make every game research 50 cals Its hard enough trying to kill light tanks or afv's, having mediums buttsex me from across the map is no bueno
I just said, Mechanical is just a normal tree, no tanks in it now, no APD either. That shit is all in a seperate tree.
What is left in mechanical? Only composite and gas turbine? Maybe another thread with the new research tree would be nice. But leaving DU in physics still makes physics overpowered. 50 cals is mostly useless. You only need it if you want to get some easy kills for the stats (which are seems to be gone). Or did someone ever saw a 50 cal rush?
instead of tweaking the brenodi advantage, you could always give NF another small advantage. if the teams were completly balanced it would be a really boring game.
Mechanical has kinetic based weapons. And besides, said scripts aren't official. 50 cal is total infantry denial, or at least (after we balanced it a bit) pretty good for slaughtering infantry. DU belongs in physics, and every tree has an MG, be it anti vehc or not.
