» Sun Mar 29, 2009 7:48 pm This would be great for defending bases/towns or assault...as an assault group would try to draw fire from their heavy weapon team until they deploy...
I would apply this to various heavy weapons:
- Anti-aircraft gun 20 to 40 mm caliber
- Heavy sniper rifle 20mm - called: anti-materiel rifle - http://www.anzioironworks.com/MAG-FED-20MM-RIFLE.htm
- Mortar 60 to 120 mm
- 20mm minigun - called: M61 Vulcan
- Field gun or Howitzer
- Multiple rocket launcher - Land Mattress type
The main skill required for deploying would be Repair...in my opinion only one player would require repair skill, while the other could only have big guns, as he only needs to press the trigger...the player with repair skill would support him as listed above...
All this equipment would be extremely heavy, but also extremely deadly...
It would be nice also to apply repair skill for:
- creating or deploying auto turrets
- attaching weapons on vehicles like M60 or flamer...i refer to gunner position...
- reloading empty bullet shells (cowboys did this before, military does it today...adding a little more punch than the original...)
I would love if you could find some random encounter where you can strip down a weapon from an old vehicle, or use the wreckage to your advantage, as you can setup the weapon on the gunner post to ice your enemies, while gaining some bonus cover from the vehicle...
