Caseck Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 How do you defeat point defenses? You either: A) Blind them (jamming/chaff) Overwhelm them (MRL/high ROF weapons) C) Bash through them with hardened rounds. I was actually hoping there would be more point defenses employed in the game, but I wasn't expecting them to be as fool-proof as they are. My thought on PD was a gatling or railgun type system, that would begin firing when it detected an incoming round. The engagement times for PD in DropTeam are exceedingly shorter than I expected... If you've ever seen a Phalanx engagement, it lasts several seconds. I was hoping for a gatling PD ammo counter you can watch count down, as the PDs engage incoming rounds on most vehicles... But I was also expecting multiple ATGMs in a salvo, and main guns with significantly higher rates of fire... Still waiting on a railgun equipped tank or artillerypiece!

Jalinth Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I didn't write this, and it is not specific to DropTeam, but it might make for some interesting fodder for discussion http://us.geocities.com/copeab/CIWS.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
