I decided to make new heavy nuke cannons that will be light super weapons. Damage is equal to normal nuke cannon and reload time is 1 minute. But range is unlimited and slightly higher cost and build time. Available at rank 5. Generic nuke cannons will remain as well.

How many can be buildt? I hope you can buildt one, if not IMO its overpowered :(

I think that more than 1 will be build !

Number of these cannons depend on super weapon limit. If limit is on then you can build only one. If it is off then you can build as many of them as you want.

It is not overpower because it is inferior to normal nuke cannon in many parameters. Lets compare them:

Range:
nuke cannon: long
super cannon: infinite (it is the only advantage, the rest are disadvantages)

Damage:
nuke cannon: high, bonus vs buildings
super cannon: equal to nuke cannon, NO bonus vs buildings

Reload time:
nuke cannon: 10 seconds
super cannon: 1 minute

Cost:
nuke cannon: 2000
super cannon: 2500

Build time:
nuke cannon: 20 sec
super cannon: 40 sec

Bonuses:
nuke cannon: trainable, gains bonuses from a number of upgrades
super cannon: not trainable, not upgradable

Nice balance there... Good job !

[prophet of the pimps]

so is this replacing the bertha cannon or will this be fighting along side it.

[Creator]

It replaces nothing. Nuke general will have 3 types of cannons:
-Nuke cannon
-Bertha cannon
-Super nuke cannon

I think that the super title belongs to berta ! And not to the new one ! Berta is much more powerfull !

[Capt.Drake]

I don't really understand why we need the super nuke cannon, the Berta is powerful enough, build five and you can tear down a hole base.
Or there are also helixes with nuke detonators

i agree, i think berta should have the title because it is more powerful. berta can destroy just about any unit with its cannons and upgrading it with the ATRS is a great defence for it.

I was kidding for the title ! Berta make tremendus damage ! Near uncatchable.. But imagine a unit that can hit from the one edge of the map to the other with 400 damage !!! This is super... I sasid that, cause berta causes more damage, but the new cannon can hit everything on the map !!!

[Capt.Drake]

The nuke detonator works like this, when the unit is destryed, you get one hell of explosion, a nuclear explosion. But when I think about that new Nuke Cannon, it musst be great keeping the enemy surplie depots under constant fire

So you got what i meant ? It is a pain in the neck, to know that any time, you can be bombarder in your whole base !

[Capt.Drake]

But how many of them can you build

[Pendaelose]

But how many of them can you build

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

as many as you want. just like the Stealth GLA scud launcher. it does the exact same thing and is available in Contra.03

Thats right but scud is much less powerfull ! Dont know why !

[ALPHA_AURORA]

the stealth gla scud launcher has unlimited range?

instead of firing like a normal scud it fires a single ScudStorm scud. it has a quick lunch button on the side of the screen and it will drop one missle where ever you want once a minute
