Redcon-5

nope good guess

The Number of mines is fine what is needed is a faster way to breach them. Had an idea (OK stole an idea)yesterday for that. XML unit is ready just need to cobble a model together for it (any takers its pretty easy). But this is for a different thread.

I was with the First CAV Div in the late 90's Got to play one some of the first M1A2's What IG says is true just takes some trigger time. I fire up Call of Duty 2 some times just to get a little eye/mouse coordiantion in target rich enviroment. But even good old DOOM or quake will do it. Not Rainbow six it has autotargeting, yes you can turn it off but its just not the same.

1. both of the Ariel 2. Dragon's Teeth (sorry Toby but I realy miss having them in the Base ver.) 3. ATGM Squad ( I don't think I have the Sniper rifle balanced yet, but if that is the vote I'll make it)

Poesel that spreadsheet I sent you do any good?

OK first off I got to ask WhiteOwl where did you learn a term like "Super Elevate"? You are talking like a tanker. Drop Team Thor Gunnery 101- Always watch the air density when the map loads, a lot of maps are 2.0 or higher. On these maps you are right, 2500m or less for Sabot(at 2.3 I'd even say 2000m), HEAT for all targets over 2500m even MBT's. HEAT will not punch through the front armor of a Thor so hold your fire. On Vaccume maps it SABOT paradise so, lase and blaze away. Appollo and Palidian have a sweet spot mid chassis and low (check out the sniper and inf forum I posted a picture of where to shoot the Appollo) One shot one kill most of the time. Still I would use HEAT for any side flank shots and save the Sabot for front or aft shots (going through 'em longwise) So far I have only found HE good for killing soft targets including the Shrike, AA Turrets, Inf, and sensor types.

GO bug RedCon, indeed! Ok so I was busy trying to figure out texturing that I forgot to send on the XML files. Sorry. But we had quite the tango anyway, good fun today guys.

You know that fight on Twin peaks was so intense (thankfully the sever held) I don't think any recording would have made sense. A lot of good infantry fights today. Thanks for game.

Sorry I had ran out of time (my time nothingg to do with web page) after the Sniper. Yes I plan on including them and the Scout. Maybe even the Sapper and Command Heavy Squad. IG you might be interested in this, I was working up a penetration spreadsheet based off of the Ammo and Armour formulas. Its rough right now but I'll send it out if anyone wants it.

Yes but what if he has a Bannana? Or a basket of Berries? (sorry too many beers tonight couldnt resist)

I now know the AI has been improved. Some of you vets aint going to believe this. I was just playing single player CZ4, tweeking the sniper rifle and AGTM , and what in my wandering scope did appear but Neville* in a twin 76mm Ariel charging full throtle down on me. A bot attacking with a hovercraft!?! Whats next bots flying Gunshps?

I think he got annoyed when you kept tank bowling with him

What an Idea! The first Dropteam convention (and Drink-a-thon)! I do it here in California but I think Bane and IG are both south of the Grapevine. It would take them two days just to get out of LA

Ion Infantry can engage add kill (after some time) anything in line of sight, no matter the range. The bug is that while doing this at over 4000m (rough guess, the range finder doesn't work for Ion Spec.) Your target doesn't see you shooting him and will just, from his POV blow up.

Welcome on board (raises beer in toast).

The range of the Frag Grenade woulg be about the same as the AT because it is not the round but the delivery system that mostly detremines that. I believe what the game uses is compareable to the venerable M203 (underslung M16 grenade luancher, for everyone who isnt IG ). I have not idea what the ECR for a 40mm Frag is IG might but I never dealt with them.

Got a turret to work while flying How ever I lost flight controls I just sat there hovering dead in the air shooting. That is till I was dead on the ground.

Gee no pressure there Good thing I took today off.

Some big time improvements thanks. Bot AI is good,thumbs ups. Like the Engineers, (not mine So I don't want to here any gripes, you IG, that they're not armed well enough ) Now for the needs improvement. Tempest is slower then the Hurricain, and because of that it is still useless. Please cut back the dust when the Cutter is digging. I can't see what I doing. Also the "LOCKED" bar does not appear when the brakes are locked thanks for the update.

I know the feeling IG.

Well it is a Sci-fi game and I just had an image of a turret with legs jumping up mountian side or hopping through a city, over walls, off roofs that sort of stuff.

Galaxy autoguns work while flying One Dogfighter coming up.

When the problem with troops not being able to capture came up Clay said he would fix it in the next version. I just gave it number for GP, for all I know it could be 2.0. The idea of putting smoke on the Ariel was not for itself, but to use its speed like the old PT boats, run ahead of the formation laying smoke and conceal the approach of the destroyers. My vision was if you run an Ariel out dropping smoke and then bring your Thors, Hurrcains, Styx,Cutters in under a Hermes cover seems like a much more surriveable option (blind humans and bots).

You'll have to dig around the infantry threads (I dont remember which one) but look for Sapper Squads. Any way there will be a Sapper (Engineer) Squad that can capture or blow up buldings but, it has to wait for DT ver1.2.3 there is a code issue that wont let infantry capture. But it is coming.

I can make a infantry unit that looks like a tank jump. But it will not act or move or even "be" a tank. Infantry don't have colision triangles only one colison boxes to base armor facings off of. And no turrets
