Commando 1.2 Variant Suggestions

[Commando]

The 1.2 bomber odf in pb4a.

[GameObjectClass]
classLabel = "ivbomb"

Mass = 1500 // If <= 0, uses default of Sphere(Width*Height*Breadth) * 800.0

provideCount = 3
provideName2 = "ivbomb12"
provideName3 = "flier"

[CraftClass]
TeamTransferrable = true

[HoverCraftClass]

[BomberClass]
flightAltitude = 75.0   // Was 85 for 1.3

TargetEngageRange = 0 // radius around target it'll route thru.  Was 50 in 1.3

Ahh, it uses the stock daywrecker I see. Can you give this a slightly faster daywrecker and/or better armoured daywrecker to compensate for how much it's been slowed down in 1.3? As is, a single minigun scout can kill the bomb easily and this can be a problem, especially when you consider that during late-game when the bomber comes into use, enemy players are almost certainly equipped with more advanced weaponry (like chainguns, laser, and blast)

Also, what is this "Mass" variable, and how does it affect the 1.2 variant bomber?

I used to easily shoot down the bomb in 1.2.

i like the idea of being able to take it out...

saves you getting decimated by bombers repeatedly... so long as you have some good aiming skill...

could you not change the fallspeed of the daywrecker?

could you not change the fallspeed of the daywrecker?

You most certainly can.

Does the 1.3 bomb do more damage than the 1.2 bomb?

I know I can "feel" the explosion in 1.3 more than in 1.2. It has more kick.

Heh, thats nothing, try the SRV bomb

[Commando]

the issue with the bomb is the acceleration.  Ken changed the acceleration during pb4 development.

If you want to feel an explosion go blowup an upgraded power generator called 'Adv. Power', thats in the greenheart recycler variant (pb4a).  Just be thankful i didn't make a simple tweak to knock out base power for awhile which was possible.

The bomb doesnt seem to do any more damage. I know for a fact that it cant destroy a forge or overseer, only take them down to <10% health and destroy their lungs.

I just played a game using this variant.

The Gun Towers are really, really easy to wobble, probably because of the 1.2 aiming code? Also, when I fought it, the shots did not alternate. Alternating shots would be harder to wobble.

I just went into the editor and placed stock 1.3 gun towers and found them also very easy to wobble. I move in one direction, they fire a shot, I move in another direction, they fire another shot. I was able to wobble 3 at once without getting hit at all (except for splash damage). Is there any way to make it a little more difficult to do that?

[mrtwosheds]

Would it be possible to give the scouts more lift so they can try to fly or stay in air longer?

Make a custom map, gravity can now be altered, this will of course give everything more lift if you reduce it.

[Commando]

Feared, unfortunately shot alternate is disabled automatically when multiworld is enabled.

How do i do that?
