Nick06 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hello. I was just wondering, were the Apollo and Hermes named after Greek gods and were the tank capabilities modeled around the god they were named for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson & Crick Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I thought Hermes was sumfink you got if you messed around with prostitutes. I was told it can be prevented if you wore a raincoat. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick06 Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 Well, Hermes is the Kind of Jack of All Trades (the hermes has air defense sensor jamming thus a Jack of all trades), Apollo though is the God of Healing (doesn't really relate to the tank at all). Ps. What do you mean Poesel?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaytoniousRex Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Well, Apollo is an archer. The Apollo is designed to scoot quickly to good firing positions and engage at medium to long ranges with its powerful gun, but is no good at close up brawls... like an archer. The God Hermes was known for his cunning and shrewdness and he was the "messenger" for the Olympian Gods, so this moniker stuck with the electronic warfare/jamming vehicle. Maybe that means it is the opposite of a messenger, but it is certainly a cunning tool and its name stuck nonetheless. Not a perfect fit in either case, but FWIW there's the original reasoning.
