Replace heat with more restrictive ammocounts.

That simple really, just make weapons we don't want spammed have tiny amounts of ammo (nukes, rails) and less powerful weapons have large ammo as their advantage. Salvo, STD ML, LR CN

 

How about having reloads on cannons instead?

Otherwise +1

 

Funny that nukes and rails don't really care about their heat as it is. At least, rails is more heat efficient than most weapons, and nukes abusively pair with bio diesel. Really, it's weapons like Std ML and Ranged CN that suffer from heat. Without heat, you can stack as many of those weapons on a tank as possible and go shotgunning.

Also, you'd need to be able to specify the rate of ammo you get from an ammo crate. Otherwise, someone can just park next to an ammo crate or armory and spam away until the cows come home.

This would be another reason never to drive a tank as any other class, I suppose.

 

You can't actually move forward if you're grabbing ammo, you can only defend/shell.

 

What does ammo count have to do with the number of weapons you can fire simultaneously in a short period of time?

 

*puts ammobox next to tank as engineer*
*gets back in tank*

i dont know... seems like it would make annoying gameplay while it can be fixed in another way

 

Why not increase the inherent cooldown time between shots?

 

Grenadier has armor detect so its better to use tank as them instead of being engie.

Problem solved lets go see this happen anyway on rainbowroad...

 

Rails don't have enough ammo as it stands right now...
Nerfing their ammo would just make them very fustrating to use.
