well, The "Whatever Mk2" is slightly easier on the ears than the "Generic Fictional Salvaged Light Tank" or the "Watch-a-ma-call-it Artillery Thingy" or my favorite the "Ambiguously Textured Possibly 1970s Soviet Ground Attack Mig"

hahaha, you guys. Best forum ever.

So the whatever is a tank? i thought it was a war-something.


Seriously though. I think its pretty boring to use alredy exisitng stuff and put it in the game just at it is.
Atleast give it a C&C-touch first. Like giving it a new "super high-rech thingy that does suff" or a seige upgrade or whatever.
I mean thats what, atleast i, find so intreresting about generals. Most things you mor or less recognise from discovery channel with a slight touch of either Shi-fi (US), Low-fi (Gla) or ...china-izm.

on first playong contra, i found the idea of a flame general v.cool, so i thougt, "hmmm, surely he must have a flame thower defence tower?" but, when i played it, i was disapointed, that there wasnt a flame tower, as i thought that would be like the main thing...but meh.

so in ur future patches and all, i think the flame general should have a flame defence tower, with various abilities, like naplam shells, and a stream of naplam etc, as well as the standard gattling cannon for fiery deaths and serving the enemys ass to them on a silver platter.
THANKS

ps AWSOME FUCKEN MOD DUDES :grin keep it up.

already done. If you dig around the Remix3 screen shots you can see some flame defenses in action.

Most of these ideas sound like that they are from shockwave!
Plasma is quite unrealistic, cause if you would make it realistic it would be overpowered, and I don't like the idea behind it, even that it would be possible

Water-jet cannon, i know it sounds stpid but its not.
If water has a big enught speed it can penatrate steel like a hot knife trught butter and the army is already experimenting with that tech.

I'm familiar with these. Water cuters are also used for precision cutting of steel. Its cool, but I have concernse about range. Also, while it might be a viable weapon, there also becomes the question of effectiveness. For the same investment there are some other very deadly weapon options.

Well this weapon would be interesting for the GLA to http://world.guns.ru/sniper/sn56-e.htm

Agreed.

Sounds like most of ollis idea are based on other mod's and or CnC's

Lets see.
"plasma weapons included for the superweapon general, eg plasma defencne tower, plasma tanks, with like a plasma ball, or stream or summin"
Thats the key part hear, shockwave (i think maybe project rapture) already has a plasma weapon that fires balls of energy and can also be set to stream firing mod too.

"electricity weapons, like a chain lightning tank, or lightning superweapons."
Telsa Coils/tanks anyone? thats rings a bell.

Lazer rangers are already in the mod i beleave and if not they have been in meny mods before.

Rocketpod upgrad for all tank general tanks?
Se one mod that has rocketpod upgrade on one of it tanks... think it was Project rapture could be mistaken.
I don't mind this but on all tanks = no thanks that too unbalanced

Errr hate to say this but a Nuke bomber for the nuke gen? have u played nuke gen before? They have tactical nuke migs. Having a bomber would be like just plain silly.
The bomber would naturaly be more expenstive and my pov (point of view) would be to say Screw this the tactical nuke migs can shoot air and ground targets and have nuke missiles 2 of them on the aircraft = powerful enough.
Why waste money building time and an hanger space on an aircraft that most likly is more costly, slower and going to be shot down more o and also has a longer build time.

All these idea's has been seen in other CnC's or mods some are ok but i like to see more originality

edit: personly that rifle i think looks gay lmao. i rather the gla have this....

YAY:D memeber woot

ok got another one for you.

i feel that most of tank generals tanks/chinas tanks are imba. especially when ur up against them. hardly ne thing can stand up to the overlord. especially normal USA, but if your tank general fighting it, then...pile of piss
so the counterpart for overlord should be... Reagan tank. it has duel cannons, and can switch between HE shells(normal fire) and AP shells. AP shells do more damage but have a slower rate of fire, like 2/3 seconds slower than noraml, but do loads more damageto tanks. it also comes with a small machine gun for infanry, and extra damage. it also has addons like the overlord, a medium range grenade launcher, does medium/high damage depending on target, mediem rate of fire, flak cannon, only for ainti-air, and a microwave beam, for disabling buildings/harming infantry. also slows vehiclas down. or instead of microwave beam, ECM beam/missles for superweapon gen or a small laser turret for laser general.
:wub
also the tank isnt as heavily armoured as the overlord/emporor. so can move quicker, but less armour. still takes a bit of damage before it is destroyed

[Gilgamesh]

I have an idea for a vehicle: it's called the "SupaInstaWin". It costs 900, it's very light armored, but his main cannon is called "desintegrator". One attack and the victim instantly disappears. His range is unlimited, has no delay between attacks and no visual fx. This should be given to all usa. [/rant]

[wolfshadow]

Olli,

Check out Barrett arms... They have an extensive line of 50 cal rifles. Tried and true designs, that are feilded by Spec Forces all over the world..

Personally, I like this one:

[Pendaelose]

The Regan tank is a good idea... but I've already done it. the RA laser tank for Laser USA and the heavy mechs for Robot USA. Both can easily engage a standard overlord with a decent chance of winning.

AirF and SupW don't have heavy tanks because they make up for it in other departments. SupW has the LongArm (best artil in the game I think) plus the shield gen unit and a variety of light units that excell when grouped togeather (Patriot tank). AirF has the Rapier and King Raptor for heavy anti tank support.

Also, almost all factions can build infantry squads. 5 missle defenders can be built in the same tome and cost as 1 defender in older versions. Infantry now excell in defense and when used carefuly can easily crush most tank rushes. On the flip note, infantry are slow and get butchered when trying to attack a base that is well defeneded with Anti-infantry and Artillery.
