moonsense715 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Probably standard, but we haven't discussed that yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfehunter Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 we have, we decided on IFV forms before we came here. Techie will be standard IFV you'll have to get an engineer to make a repair IFV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EVA-251 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 If you go to rules(md).ini, you'll find a tag called CrewEscape=70% ; percent chance that crew will escape from destroyed vehicle Add Crewed=yes to any vehicle and there is a remote chance a techie will pop out of it.

Techie will be standard IFV you'll have to get an engineer to make a repair IFV. Read the forums We changed that months ago. Also, you won't have to go back the the depot if you get the required veterancy for auto healing or if your team captures the tech machine shop.

cfehunter Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 auto-repairs will be faster at elite veterancy and will make it so you can spend even more time away from the depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kakashi Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 That would depend on how well this thing tracks and how good the splash damage is. At least for AR, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech Outpost can act as a SD, and most regrettably when the AI captures it, knows nothing about how to use it. Its weapon is the exact same as the IFV's standard mode ([HoverMissile]) And happy early birthday, OWA. (Its only 8PM here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now that I have access to rulesmd.ini, I can see this quite clearly: Pilot=E1 ; pilot type that parachutes out of aircraft I was mistaken about the Technician, though; turns out it was the GI after all.

Yes, I know. That was also the old weapon for the Sea Scorpion. I just couldn't remember whether it was in the original game. I insist. They dont work. I've modded YR for 3 years, and in all that time, with my aircraft all having Crewed=yes, Pilot=E1, I have never seen any infantry dropped from them. The logic was gone in TS.
