OWA Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Based on the vid, the rockets even in clusters don't do as much damage as I expected. Several hits on the War Factory and its barely scathed. Hey, I'm not destructively criticizing the IFV, I know you guys have done hard work on this, and I appreciate it. Tose 10 seconds make me itch You do know that nothing is final right? The IFV hasn't been balanced into the game properly yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfehunter Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 hell it's not even textured completely yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danpaul88 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 And FYI the damage has been significantly increased since that video (and the scripts finished), and they do more damage now. In the video it was actually just using the Apoc tank's anti air/infantry missiles, since the test was to make sure the SCRIPTS worked, not to do balance testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfehunter Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 also it's important to note that EVERYTHING will receive a significant damage reduction compared to RA2. You cant rebuild your buildings anymore so haveing it so that a simple IFV can take down a soviet tesla reactor with ease would be very bad for gameplay.

Guest Allie29 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Drat, I was looking forward to destroying multiple buildings with only a few elite prism tank shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iambryan1234 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 That's impossible Allie. If you could kill buildings with just a few elite prism shots, Allied forces would win too easily which means a very unfair advantage to the Allies. Cheat weapons hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheat weapons hehe now it wasn't really that easy to get prism tanks to elite, as they are very vulnerable, and high tier units meaning they need to kill a lot of things before getting promoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kakashi Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 It wasn't hard to get a few elite V3s though... kill two or three base defences: Tadaa, elite. Seriously there are so many units that killed buildings in seconds... even a few deployed GIs took out buildings in really short time. It wouldn't be feasable for an FPS, the players would not have enough time to react. So the health boost is alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing would happen with tesla tech also, only difference there is the range was not as long as the prism tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iambryan1234 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 If you ask me the whole mod needs to be modified. True, a few GIs could just take out a whole base in one minute and V3s get promoted too easily. And what is going to be the difference between an engineer and a technician, can V3s be shot before they hit the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engineers can repair bridges, repair structures faster and capture tech buildings. V3s can be shot down... Didn't you read the dev blogs? It hasn't been tested yet.

Everybody talking about buildings being blown up in a few seconds was talking about RA2 not the mod. Engineers repair faster than technicians and they can capture buildings where as technicians cant.

OWA Posted April 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 what ....i thought you could rebuild building in AR Rebuildable defences are a definite. We'll see what happens about rebuilding main structures. There are certainly a lot of ideas flying round that we'll have to take into account.

No. It's balanced for FPS gameplay, nothing is final yet, hell nothing is even released yet. Everything will work out and be balanced right, give the fuckin team some credit and a chance here.

Always nice to be defended by fans When we're happy with the artwork everything will be tested exstensivly by the testers until we and they're happy that the game's balanced and all the bugs have been ironed out.
