Have watched 'knights of the holy grail' maybe too often, but the idea sounds quite funny. why not have a research which allows production of fake command vehicles in the VF?! Imagine a late game situation on Duststorm, NF is gonna LT-rusch the BE commander. BE commander saw this comming and researched "the trojan". Some Be guy buys it and drives around with it, or parks it where the comm was before and the real comm drives around. NF gets confused and Be gets time for a counterrush... ..or the fake CV attracts enemy artys usefull in thousand situations "the trojan": 1 seat 4 layers of nonCV armor very weak hull Model of a CV of your side 1100 res in cost maybe stuck to have the standart engine, so nobody can tell the difference PROs: - the model is already there - more diversity in late game - allows loads of new taktiks CONs: -needs coding -maybe not possible to force the engine type for a VF-build vehicle -maybe not what the DEVs want?! please imagine any PROs before you overwhelm my idea witch CONs EDIT: any ideas on "where the hell do I put this in the research tree" would be appreciated
I think this should be added solely for the epic lulz that would occur. I can already see the BE comm being chased by 10 NF comms.
I played one game with fake command vehicles (admin has changed it anyhow). It was a lot of fun but for real games it is much to confusing.
Drive the real com into a pile of fake coms, then jump out. Guarantee you'll confuse your team for a good 30 seconds or more.
