scorpion tanks

[VampireA05 0]

I laugh at SCUD's while playing with Laser general. Their missiles are stopped by the avengers and the tanks clean up.

 

Although against the Chinese 2 or 3 SCUD's wreak havoc.

 

i laugh at every missile...including Tomahawks when avengers around...

Vampire, you laugh but we think realistically.

 

China has littl;e effective defense against the Scud except perhaps the speed of its Migs and the inferno cannon. The Chinese have ways around these things, and it helps reinforce their horde mentality.

i laugh on missile :lol: ..but not shells :shock: ..there's no way to counter that..unless you destroy them before they destroy you..

 

but its really cool to have nuke canon in the inventory..

kindda nasty effect on ground..

except that Nuke cannons must deploy to fire, leaving them a window in which they can strike you without you either dodging (if such a thing is possible in a Nuke cannon) or fireing back. Inferno cannons are much better I think, especially with Black Napalm. Howeve Neutroin shells on the Nuke cannon do make for a nice addition to any seige force.

yeah..they way i see it, the neutron shell is something like a quick kill rather than additional firepower..

its really irritating when your ground troops being wipe out instanly & you tanks are driverless...

but i love to see when its hit troop crawler..nothing left inside..haha

I laugh at you, for the moment. Ha, ha, ha ham.

 

The Scuds anthrax is just as effective at clearing out troop crawlers. Watching them melt is much more fun than watching them just disappear.

or you can light up a big beautiful firestorm and watch as all your enemies perish, only to see a few stuborn units get through. Then you nuke cannon them. Hehe. (BTW I was doing this all morning as i finished up the GLA 5th ZH mission and started the Chinese first one. and yes it took all morning, cause my comp is kinda a lot slow.

The thread was about Scorpion tanks asx I recall, so I'm getting back on topic.

 

Did you know that there should have been an option to fire just the missile and not shell an opponent, then when it fired, you heard it say 'feel the scorpions sting' or other such comments. It was deemed too annoying to put in the game though.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

that would have been a handy feature. its annoying as crap when the guy is like dead in one shot, and the 3 scorpions shooting at him all have to waste their Rockets.

 

I think they should have kept it. 2 Attack modes (like ranger) Shells, or rocket first, then shells.

 

or sumthin like that

Well, there are mods that do it and it was the way it was meant to be in ZH originally. The question about doing a seperate firing mechanism, brings up one about whether there should be the ability to fire their secondary weapon.
