New Vehical ideas. some ideas outlined by other threads i have seen got me to thinking about some more/better vehical ideas. 1- Armed Car. Essencally a 1 man jeep. this jeep has a small turret which allows the driver to set up a 1 slot mountd machinegun. slightly more armor than a jeep. can be used as an anti infintry or anti air vehical. 2- AA tank. a light tank primarly used in anti air. with 4 machine gun mounts (3 slots each) this can be the ultimate anti infintry or ultimate anti air. cannons heat up quickly though. 3- Heavy MLRS. a Flat bed truck(or tracked trailer) with a 6 slot Missle launcher turret. (think like the MLRS for BE, and something like the Katushka or Smerch for the NF) 4- Medium MLRS. a Jeep like vehical fitted with two 2 slot missle launchers. (imagine kinda like what the Avenger looks like.) 5- Duo-cannon. a double barreld mobile field gun. two 2 slot Cannons. 6- Duo-Gun system. a Double barreld mobile field gun. two 3 slot machineguns Mobile field guns travel at an extreamly slow speed and have extrodinarly heavy armor, they are so heavy things like recoil from being hit is non-existant. best used for defence or seiges because of their painfully slow speed. add and discuss.
Hummvee 4x4 Armor: Jeep-APC Supplies: Ammo & Health (similar to the APC) Optional Mounts: Rocket Launcher/Machine Gun - Need two people in the vehicle for full efficiency, one to drive, one to control the mounted weapon.
Hummer H3 a.k.a. "The F-U mobile" Armor: heavy tank Supplies: 87 crates of greasy McDonalds cheeseburgers (replenishes health to 100% and then slowly takes it away until you die) - Runs out of fuel half-way to enemy base. j/k. I kid GM and Mikey D's.
DEE: field gun idea was discussed here: http://www.empiresmod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1344 or atleast, that's what I think you mean. because your description is what I wanted. the only vehicle i want: ATTACK JEEPS! YES!
Heavy MLRS should just have 4 2 slotters, so you can't get nukes. oh, and it should be able to take a lot of weight. and perhaps they should only be towable by jeeps?
I think we don't need new vehicles from the planned ones, I think instead the existing vehicles could be outfitted for AA and such purposes.
You may have missed, or forgotten, the MLRS discussion. One of the main points raised was that it would be incapable of having the turret go below a certain angle, thus making nukes not the best idea. You'd probably also be able to code some kind of "no nuke" rule for it into the server, or some other wierdness like that.
but what else would you want 6 slots for, that couldn't be done in 3 2slotters? and how would all the other missiles fire!?
Besides, we brought up the idea of a rocket artillery weapon that would be bigger than a 3-slotter. We also brought up the idea of specific anti-air missiles for the MLRS that would take up more than three slots. This would prevent heavy tanks becoming artillery thingies.
Still, camp beside an armoury with some decent cooling and you'll lay down enough covering fire to open up an entire side of emp_canyon.
