SCUD

UndeadComrade · Post by **UndeadComrade** » 2008-04-30 12:17

What i would love to see in PR is a SCUD of some sort, the way we would use it would be similar to laser targets for planes if someone is in one and a squad targets something that target goes to SCUD then it fires after say 30 or 60 secs the missle hits the area eliminating the threat

not realistic, not needed, not new, suggested before
scuds are not beeing called in such a way, used over huge distances and not as troopsupport
=> [R-MOD] please look

I didnt mean a SCUD if u read i said something like one i know they have them and they arnt mortars so fragg read before u post

And some SCUDs work at close distence and in the cold war were used to support troop movements

Edit: i found it, its called the M270 and its range is 300m at its longest, and is used by america

and fragg dont say no because they arnt in use, because guess what china isnt fighting america or britin

in the next patch we're going to have mortars, and we already have JDAM. artillery in all sorts of forms has been suggested before, and hasnt been implemented yet due to the fear of random spam and the fact the the battlefields are too small.

you may trust him, everything else => testers NDA

I thought it was common knowledge that mortars are coming in the next patch, barring technical problems ofc. - i'm not a tester.

EDIT- just waded through thousands of very similar mortar suggestions,

Yes, Mortars will be in PR. Hopefully for 0.7 as far as I know.

also, the dutch have a project for it

The m270 MLRS (In my sig

) has a maxrange of around 40 kilometers, its simply overkill. Even the the m252 81mm mortar that is/was being worked on for PR (its in the gamefiles, but isnt working) has a maxrange of 5 kilometers, thats enough to fire from one side of the largest map that is in pr (kashan and quinlin) to the other.

Can't they add in these weapons and decrease the range? seems kinda pointless arguing about range on a game where its easily sorted.

Lol Same =P

My opinion on this is: Instead, we should get more competent squad leaders in the next patch, who use their Lasing abilities which none have (actually, just typing this, I got off a server where I had a GOOD SQUAD LEADER (another squad) Who lased me a tank =) I was happy.)
and possibly more SOFLAMS... Or heck.. a two seater plane where the second seat lases targets. =D That would be difficult to make.. =/ And run.. =/

Resuggestion, but that's not just why I'm locking.

Locked for being completely offtopic and basically pointless.

Scud and MLRS -type systems are just massive overkill for PR, at least as driveable, player-controlable vehicles.
