Slaughter Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Would have been fun with some kind of a weapons platform at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matri Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Hmm, if that chopper was capable of carrying an M1A2, wouldn't it also make sense it could actually carry MORE than 7 soldiers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accounting Troll Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Sorry to be the only one to vote no, but if the developers had given us tanks/HWPs, the aliens would have got them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matri Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 OY! Good point!The rockets were bad enough, imagine the alien Katyusha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...in X-com they had sectopods...and cyberdiscs....some trouble but nothing....a UFO:AF hibrid tank.....could nt fix.....and there is a posiblity of adding tanks....(A bug was found in Dic...u could controll the enemy...so they are not on your screan but u have control...maybe we can use this...if any one is intrested i have pix of...alians killing each other...with rocket launchers and p90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exe22 Posted January 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 it takes a lot more than 2 min. to reload those barrels with rockets, black. i heard that it took about 15 min, and you had to be well trained to do it even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackAlmaz Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 it does...but i was overexpracing my self...in fact...the exact time to rweloed...and fire...is 18min...34sec...on average...and it was top secret so u had to very well trained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 The Aliens wouldn't have necesarily had to have their own HWP. They get uber psi, and microslugs, and cheap-o rocket launchers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exe22 Posted January 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 would have been fun to run around a corner and face a alien jk. but seriously, that would have brought a new dimension to the game, since you then would have had to USE your AT weapons, instead of letting them collect dust in a corner at your storage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackAlmaz Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 me me me....they look cool...and they can be mouled down by anything except hummen ammo...(if applied to the game...the next upgrade could be to give it a sheild not only to protect it self but other around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegfried Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Hi all back again after I drifted off. Maybe you could just find these vehicles in maps, like the discarded trucks in bases and drive them, that would solve the chopper problem. I dont use rocket launchers due to the fact they overkilled molemen but had problems with carcrabs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siegfried Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Werent they really inacurate though, plus very suspectable to fire due to being a truck with rockets on. Plus if anyone wants to know what they look like there the Russian things on BF1942 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incarnadine Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 all i know is that the germans feared them as the devil himselflol Kattushas function on a simple principal: Rockets blow stuff up. Problem is rockets are inaccurate, only 1 out of 5 will hit directly. Solution: Fire 50 of them! And no Kattushas are used in ranged combat only. You basically guesstimate the relative position of the enemy and then make it rain hell. (still in use in the Middle East along with other relics of the CCCP) For the kind of close quarter combat in UFO an armored vehicle makes more sense, but that's for transferring troops only. Still no reason why you can't mount a heavy rail gun on top of a Humvy and have two troops dedicated to driving it around and providing serious cover fire.

incarnadine Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 as I said. It would work for transport only. what better to get to a base? seven turtles or seven turtles inside an armoured vehicle capable of mowing down any enemy and moving 90kph. Would make the Russian mission easy. Just go through the wall machine guns blasing. The compact tank (A La Metal Slug) would work marvels.https://www.agetec.com/images/games/metalslug_x/metalslug_tank.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
