there is no such thing as a siege tank in real life

[FtXCommando]

siege tank is redundant but it sounds cool

How is the spilling lagging the game? I'd love to know more about that, seems that it wouldn't be that expensive to compute each tick.

So each projectile that hits the shield has to be calculated, now test by throwing like 10 janus at a shield and watch ur simspeed drop massively

[deletethis]

@Azraeel No, what difference does it make?

edit: Thanks for the helpful reply.

[Jip]

Oh - that kind of spilling. I thought you were talking about economical spilling, e.g., spilling to allies.

1. Rather a Siege or Assault Tank or whatever, by name sake would seem relevant in say Supcom FA, FAF or just the Seraphim why that might have specific attributes to it, mostly from some storyline say aspect buy could just be more technical also.

2. Herb reclaim can be a say priceless feature but debatable for its say utility to function.

3. I've heard several times Engineering Stations are not as efficient as mobile engineers. Rather a reduction of build power is not, im not certain, but if applied they should gain an initial build capability. Rather a full t4 or just t3 is whatever for a question.

4. Mexes seem reasonable already, no need to change, perhaps adding where max Mex output is variable based on Mex location. Out of a total of say 4 maxes, 2 might end being lower valued outputs despite build.

5. T2 Scouts would be nice but to what effect?? Seems to be a lack of support by all factions for such a unit.

6. Unit veterancy may be a gameplay breaker but still offers gameplay changes. Solving some better way of calculative than ridding seems better off.

1. I agree that 'siege tank' might not be the right name.
2. You don't use it?
3. not an informed opinion
4. idem
5. I feel like adding t2 scouts is gonna create a different air play dynamic, which could be good but also bad.
6. Yes, you got my vote!

t2 or t3 land scouts!

[The_Janitor]

t2 or t3 land scouts!

while on that note, how about a proper uef land jammers with proper unit formations

How'd that even work lol

7. Mobile Radar!

[Pearl12]

Just make siege tanks really good at killing walls. 1000 dps vs walls. Then they are siege tanks. Problem solved.

[deletethis]

mobile smd!

[Photek]

cybran T3 stealth sniper

[Azraaa]

@deletethis mobile smd would need assisting, so like basically has no Buildpower itself

@stealth9 just Cybran t3 Mobile Stealth instead

[deletethis]

@Azraeel you could think about sera battleship/t3 nuke subs only they make smd instead, the land equivalent would probably end up as t4 tier, or maybe extremely limited range...

More HP, much more speed, much more radar range, more vision, maybe tiny omni range, improved versions of abilities of lower tier units... like t1 arty-like thing for UEF scout, stealth+cloak for cybran, ability to traverse montains and walls for aeon, short range teleportation for sera or maybe some EMP ability to disable single unit for 10 seconds for 5000 E or something like that... or maybe that ability would only work against buildings idk

@Pearl12 Give siege tanks an engineering tool same as a t1 engineer, except have it auto-reclaim on nearby unfriendly walls, and don't allow it to be used for other purposes. Call it a "siege drill"
