Not saying this is a good idea, but machine gun on tank? #116

Open Profugus1 opened 1 year ago

Profugus1 commented 1 year ago

Either implementing a new jeep type with a mounted gun on the back or a tank with a semi-powerful machine gun turret with limited aiming capacity could be interesting.

Maybe an MG on the hull would be interesting because then you could only aim where the tank is facing, but no coaxial mgs because those would make the tank pretty much impossible to counter. I'm not sure about actual stats yet but I might put some suggestions here.

Maybe 30 degrees rotation of the mg? It shouldn't be too powerful, but should be something similar to the falcon :/

NOTGregory commented 1 year ago

It should deal 12 damage probably. And yeah 30 degrees rotation is probably fine because it would force the user to actually turn. However, what would really make this nearly impossible to implement is the fact that you would have to control the main gun and the hull MG at the same time. Idk if this could be done with left/right mouse for shooting both guns, or switching between them somehow, but aiming both of them would for sure be impossible.

Making the tank a 2 person vehicle could be interesting as well. One person could operate the turret and driving while the other person could operate the MG in the hull and curse at the driver.

That would be mildly interesting and could work in conjunction with @DisposableKatyusha 's idea for tanks to have weak spots. Not sure if Sarunas would have time to code it though and it does make the game a bit complex.

A tank with a machine gun? Ridiculous and miserable. No.

A jeep, maybe.
