Testament Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Mobile Gap Gen has been a pet peeve of mine ever since I started playing this again. Why the heck can't you see the truck whilst inside the dome? From a gameplay standpoint, it makes no sense as the allies should be fighting tooth and nail to keep the soviets from outside of the dome. I have way too many folks just driving up and running a Gap Cloud against me and my fellow comrades and I'm too pleb to find the truck whilst in a tank. Renders prove that you can see the Gap Gen when under the cloud too. Don't know if I'm the first to complain about it, or if its due to engine limitations but I feel this little quirk gives a rather annoying tactic to the Allies. http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/cnc/images/4/40/Gapgenerator.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080328134558I'd post an image of the render, but the forum won't let me.

Killing_You Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Unfortunately, it is impossible to do. EIther make everything stealthed or allow hitboxes to be seen even outside of the gap, as I told you ingame earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) I was too busy getting killed by an arty outside of the gap gen to even read that. Edited June 12, 2016 by Testament 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

System Error Message Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Story wise everything in the dome should be in a different dimention so when someone enters the dome they're theoratically not supposed to see anything, something about schroedinger's cat. So shooting something in the dome should be possible but that too should be theoratically 50/50 to hit something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raap Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 It's either that, or seeing the hitbox from outside, or as a last alternative, setting the MGG as un-targetable for enemies and friendlies alike, which would be pretty bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPRA2 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 simple fix, just remove tesla tanks, shock troopers, mammoth tanks, and the Mobile Gap Gen, so Allies wont have to use it to avoid being completely destroyed by the soviets. GG APB! GG!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCamo Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 How about we just remove Soviets, so the allies will never lose to them? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPRA2 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 How about we just remove Soviets, so the allies will never lose to them? just remove everything, light tanks vs light tanks only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvester Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 The black "clouds" are magical particles that turns anything allies inside it literally invisible to the eye. It is more cost-effective than the phase tank's hull that only bends light out of the visible spectrum around only itself while the magic cloud turns anyone friendly and itself invisible. Magic > Science. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delta Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Just make the Mobile Gap Generator explode like a demo truck. I'm sure that will solve the problem. ...wait what were we talking about, again? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor29aa Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I think his complaint was not about the MGG but about the building the Gap Generator. It seems he wants the building more visible to hit from inside the cloud. - although the building currently is not cloaked. - maybe the request is to make the building easier to hit by having it stand out -either way I think the current system is fine and no change is necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I was talking about the Mobile Gap generator and how the Allies use it offensively against the Soviets by driving straight into their attack with it. The question was answered, so let the thread die please. Edited June 17, 2016 by Testament 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushwall Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 And then it ends up either going unused because firing a weapon will always unstealth you no matter what the "weapon" does, or it gets used and people whine about the gap generator being underpowered suddenly because they don't realise that firing does what I just said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPRA2 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) I got an idea, replace the MGG with the Tesla Jammer from "The Legacy of Tesla" mission, and the French MRJ glitch or Easter Egg in RA1. Give it the Discharge secondary, half its damage to buildings, and increase infantry splash. You wont need a MGG when you got yourself a beautiful electric radar dish! Pesky soviet infantry turn to ash, and heavy tanks to molten steel! FEAR THE POWER OF THE TESLA JAMMER!!!!!!!!! *cough* ahem um........ It would be great guys..... just do it. Or else Ukraine Cervine shall join the cause. Edited June 21, 2016 by MPRA2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
