I was wondering if a new tank can be made. This would be like a SAM with the amount of missiles it holds. 2 2 Slot Missiles 1 3 Slot Machine Gun 1 1-2 Slot Cannon Armor Slots 2Back 3Sides 3Front Base Weight 800 Max Weight 1300-1500 Base Price 900 This would primarily be good for using missiles with high anti-infantry. This could be good for anti-aircraft with the amount of homing-guided missiles it could hold and it could also be a frontal support weapon with taking out the infantry and the turrets from far away. Does anyone agree this could be useful?
We've had a similar idea in the past. I'm sure the devs have thought about it. If they want to stick one in, they will. If not... LT RUSH! YAY!
I'd be a menace in that thing if it was implemented. Then again aircraft are easy targets in my opinion =D.
That reminds me of the Russian "Katusha" (Just alot of pipes welded together holding a shitload of missles that are ready to fire) Could be the "New Artilery" if you think about it ;; unles it was made weak as hell and possibly forced to be AA only (Turrets pointed too high into the sky)
Not really. Think about tanks. Since the SAM will not have enough room for a nuke a tank can take it out. Lights though would die.
SAM(Surface to Air Missile)(auto guided only) MRL(Multiple Rocket Launcher)(auto guided but, also point and shoot) I think the latter is what you are thinking of, as SAM is for shooting at air targets only. MRL does both. Anyone who has played C&C renegade would know what a good MRL vehicle for this game would look like As For cannons on a MRL... I would realy not want to see that. It already can deal out alot of dmg with missiles. MG ok.. but I would rather not. Does the arty have mg? No. If this gets implimented it baisicaly takes the place of arty but with little splash dmg and mostly direct fire. There should be smaller ML spread for it tho. Sitting back a ways and watching your two sets of ML salvo's aimed in the middle of there base sprey rockets EVERYWHERE and doing little to no dmg to what you are aiming at is bad, M'kay.
Actualy I like the idea of a MLRS. Would be useful as an mobile anti-air unit. I would go ahead and give it two sets of three slots but no mg or cannons and make it as week as a light tank but as slow as an apc. Yea it could hold be able to carry two nukes but after fireing them with the reload time, and heat the thing would be a sitting duck if it doesnt hit its target. As for what viro man said about spreying rockets every where and doing little to no dmg, thats why this would be considered a support unit. it needs back up to get close to a base to do any real damage.
This is also why I suggested a "rocket artillery" weapon. You wouldn't be able to mount it on anything BUT the MLRS. The rockets it fired also wouldn't fly straight. They'd actually *gasp!* be affected by gravity in much the same way as standard artillery. I made a nice big thread about this already.
yeah, i don't like the idea of having connon slots eather. make its minamum angle of attack something like 40 degrees. i wanna see lots and a lotta more msl slots , like 3*3. but on second thaughts i would like to see a mg version of this SAM but thats just me speaking my mind, and i think seeing loads of rockets being fired at once would look cool anyway.
How about a veichle with a VERY LOW weight limit, so you will have to choose between a shitload of: Rockets, MG's or Cannons The armor on it would be weak, so it would still be nothing more then a support unit; but when working in groups it would dish out major damage
nah, it needs arty cannons because they can fire far. otherwise, using normal tech, it still has to get in range to attack them, at which point it's dead meat. I don't want normal arty to go, now i think about it. they just need changing.
This isnt a change for the arty, its just an arty like unit thats going to be on the field with arty; supporting armor collums. Arty for long range, and the missle spammer to take out aircraft,buildings, and maybe some tanks (6 missle slots? thats alot of damage there...) Unless there is a new type of a missle spammer, thats effective against aircraft when locked on, and when fired normal fires much like an arty except that the missles drift appart striking a certain area (Not much of a persision striker and killer like the arty, but more of a suppression weapon)
that would be beautiful... really.... we need longer lasting smoke trails from rockets! pllllllleaaaaase?
