Author Topic: Artillery!  (Read 797 times)

Although I just made a request... I'd like some artillery, although we have artillery strikes its still not as fun as actually shooting it yourself, sure we've got the cannon but thats not very modern. I'm guessing it would be similar to the battleship and tank turret. It be awesome if it looked like this

Lol...at that angle..you do understand how far you will have to be in order for this to be effective don't you?

Who cares? That doesn't even matter.

Actually, it sort of does. Assuming that the target is not hidden by terrain, the draw distance/fog distance on many maps would make it difficult to see your target, let alone aim.

Not saying large explosives aren't fun, just saying that it might not work as the real ones do. We could obviously decrease the range and put a huge amount of gravity effect on the projectile.

Artillery!
Your area!
(BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!)

Unfortunately the gravity modifier is limited by the engine to "1" which means projectiles can only fall at the same speed as a player or other things.
