Re: Experimental Dummy Vehicles (2010-02-28: Hover Tank)
It's easy because I just move all my Ronin guys to the brain base, let the bad guys blow up the AA, and just wait, because the AA blowing up does nothing, and about every 5 minutes only one Dummy will make it over the first bunker. That's why it's incredibly easy, but something must be happening to the rest of you that isn't happening to me.

I always try to hold the first outpost.
It's fun.

Heh, love this new tank. And by the way I think Citadel is hardest, never completed it. That also might be because I didn't realize there was a teleporter at the bottom and I just jumped out the window.

The hover tank has stability issues, but nonetheless amazed me. The missions are much harder now. Under some circumstances the Dummy gunship arrives and swiss-cheese all my guys in the open. Not to mention the armed dropship was already very painful to puny Ronins.

Nothing happened when the AA was destroyed, until I walked a troop to the first outpost again, killed some Dummies. Then enemies started to rain down at the brain bunker. Though the most-impossible-mission award will always go to Weegee.

Just tried the hover tank out. I like it, but a bit more control would be nice. Being able to go up (Like a jump?) and down with it would also be wonderful.

Re: Experimental Dummy Vehicles (2010-02-28: Hover Tank)
I aboslutely LOVE the way your vehicles work! Your tank is the best out there . It handles like a charm and doesnt get stuck on pixel-high obstacles! And also, Wheels!!! Seriously, that tank is the king of vehicles in CC. (due to that wonderfull handling.. and i guess, coding)
The hover tank is fun to use, love the way it just glides around at high speed while i still have full control, it kinda have trouble slowing down without hitting the ground, but its no big deal. It just feels right to drive it.
The gunship is fun to use, if a bit too powerfull (grenade launcher fire a bit too often Imho). At least its lasers have trouble piercing most armor. The fact that the grnade launcher is on top make it possible to hide the gunship behind a hill and bombard targets over it.
Very, VERY nice mod.

The hover tank is just wonky, and height adjustment is both limited and slow for me >.> Has a problem with close quarters combat.

Re: Experimental Dummy Vehicles (2010-02-28: Hover Tank)
Loved the truck, the hover tank was too wonky in the aiming to be of any use for me. And the AI seems to be quite the dead-eye with the dropships laser and severing my guys throat. Made me set out to make a Coalition version of the APC, something to actually move troops. Yet I'm too lazy to code it.

I would definitely be interested in making an APC out of that if you can provide a complete set of sprites (armor attachments, gibs etc). However, I can not promise when it will be done.
