the Allies will possibly have a heavy tank. But it would be very different from the Apoc.

Yes, that is what I was saying. An allied heavy tank, with four barrels, that shoots the same damage as a grizzly each barrel. And chronoshifts.

And on the side... an anti-infantry ONLY chrono gun with very low fire rate!!

And as for what MP was talking about w/ the flying infantry--- a GI with wings on his back. So like an evil Angelic GI with a Semi-Auto.

Umm... LOL?

[Jeeves]

lmao, quite

[Nemoricus]

Maybe in the Demonic Yuri's Revenge never to-be expansion pack.

LOL. Include it, if only as an easter egg. It would be most amusing.

[cdmtx(YR)]

an easter egg.

What do they have to do with this? JK
LoL

Easter egg= hidden surprize

[Hogo]

Tech Lab or something or a new tech building that allowes you to build it

[Copaman]

Oh... sorry about that. That was really confusing, wasn't it.

So that tank- 4 barrels, each firing with the same damage of a grizzly tank. To attack Infantry, a Chrono gun with a slow ROF that can only attack infantry. No anti-air capabilities.

And that GI with wings- put it in as an Easter Egg in a random place on a map- like at the top of a cliff in the upper right corner- so that a Mind Control unit has to get to it, by use of some sort of transport. Or a hidden tech building would do it, something like a Genetic Engineering Lab(s)

Your tank idea has caught my eye, I'll look into it.

What winged GI? Please elaborate, but to me it sounds like a Racketeer.

[OmegaBolt]

Sounds ridiculous and boring, both ideas in my opinion.

Quite, heavy tanks are soviet, light tanks are Allied. You may as well invent a chronoshifting kirov, or just merge them into one side if you want to kill their individual flavors and tactics.
Also, a four barreled tank its just plain impractacle and ill suited to RA's flh logic. Making it chronoshift is instant overpowering, as is removing infantry from being its only potential weakness.
The best ideas are often the simplest, think of chess. The ultimate strategy game has no overpowering units, they all forfill the same role, yet acheive it differently. You couldn't use a knight where you need a pawn, for example. However, convert the pawn and you could choose your peice, most of the time you choose a queen. If I could choose to build a four-barrelled chrono infantry erasing supertank, I would. Then I'd prolly never play the mod again.
Stick to stuff that would add something useful to a side, and work within the pre-established strategies, flavors and feel.

The rocketeer Mk.II isn't worth mentioning

[Gosho]

Well, actually, what if there is this shp vehcle, that looks just like an infantry (GI) which walks and attacks normally, but when deployed it flies a set distance before it goes down again(TS 's flying infantry logic turned around). Could be used as Special forces or new type of Spy. Anyways, this will bring a new ellement of warfare, as cliffs will now be jumpable etc.

Hmm what I wanted to see in Yuri's is a Super Soldier, if you've seen the Kull Warrior from Stargate, sort of like that but with a wrist Psycannon (my signature is a Kull Warrior). Basically you make him walk through a horde of GI's and he'll slaughter them without breaking a sweat. A genetically-enhanced-human-smart-killing-machine late game, possible hero unit, would cost a bomb. Yuri Prime is the general, so should still maintain hero unit status.

Magnetron as a siege unit, too much abuse with it at the moment. Shorter range and siege (so it isn't picking everything up in the air)

Possible exploration of Yuri's navy, but otherwise I'd still be happy at the moment with Boomers. Slight nerf to Boomers themselves.

Discs I'm usually happy with, although I think it might have a tad too many good things for the secondary, like powering defences/the base and sucking credits. Maybe only powering down the base or defences.

Battle Fortress less ghey. I get really fed up of the BF. Imbalanced and eats armies like it shouldn't do.

Apocalypse has to be more faster to keep up with BF's and other tanks. Make it mindcontrollable when severe damage has been inflicted. AA missiles might need a little boost as well.

Terrorists should be able to take a bit more damage before dying and shouldn't chain react other Terrorists.

Tad more Chaos Drone armour and self heal.

Rocketeer self heals.

FLH Dose not work for 4 barrels but it would have been cool

Edited by hogo, 18 December 2006 - 05:20 PM.

[OmegaBolt]

Just make big animation to cover all 4, or at least 2.

[Hogo]

Might not look as great though

[OmegaBolt]

Would look fine if not a crappy resized one.

[lefthand]

I'll lend you guys an idea from my mod in dealing with a quad barrel tank; give it gattling logic. Not only would it be easier to balance in game but it would make use of a rarely used feature.

[Gosho]

Erm, Gattling logic is actually used quite a lot I think. At least I do (total of 15 units in my mod use it to get all thems many weapons.)

[lefthand]

I haven't seen any mods where gattling logic has been expanded outside the use of Yuri's gattling guns.
