[Split] Remove Heat To Target from vehicle weapons

stop drop and roll

 

Rockets, Mortars, Sticky Stuns, and Stickies all have a small HTT (aside from sticky). Those should be kept, due to the fact that they are infanrar.

 

Yes please.

 

yes, i was referring to this.

 

Enough to overheat a comm if you have 3 grens rocket sniping. I used to get a squad of 4grens + 1engi, and just snipe their comm from half-way across the field. Nothing he can do.

 

Against tanks, RPGs attack far too slowly to have any effect.

That's not to say it won't apply to certain other fast-firing weapons.

Most armors takes 2.5% of any damage they take as heat (regen is 3%, absorbant is 1%, and comm armor is 14%). In theory, railguns should do about 2 heat per second, enough for a BE heavy to keep your heat level at a standstill if you were moving with Fission engine, though I've had experiences where it feels like more.

 

Considering his entire team was at spawn, there were walls being built to protect him (lol trying to hide nf comm), I'd say he was stuck.

 

Infantry weapons do not give any heat to target. The effect you are experiencing revolves around armor, and how much of the 'impact' is translated into heat for the tank. in 2.24, the commander armor had a lot of hit points, but it was balanced by the fact that it had a very high damage-into-heat ratio that overheated it easily. AFAIK, this was removed when commander armor was nerfed.

Tbh, I think that this effect should be removed from all armors as well. All in all, Heat should be a function of the driver's driving, not outside forces.

 

Then it's not really driving so much as controlling when you fire your weapons, right?

 

Driving contributes to your heat as well (or, more technically, heat dissipation). I feel that this should stay, since it is important that moving + fireing is not the best idea, but you can if you need to or want to push your tank.

The Heat received from damage is just dumb. Not only does a weapon damage your tank, but it also contributes to it overheating, possibly causing it to overheat and shut you down.
