Mini Kirov Naming :) - Page 4

Its faster than the Apocalypse tank. I don't want to give it missiles. And I can't really give it flak - it wouldn't look right. Unless it fired its flak cannon at the ground.....?

Good point there. Maybe it can use its ac against infantry and Aircraft.

"ac" would be autocannon?? :|

I think I have decided to give it mini Kirov bombs, causing much less damage then the originals, for use against buildings. It will have another weapon (a machine gun or something) to fight infantry and tanks, but won't be effective against tanks.

Whilst I typed this I just thought...maybe it should be able to shoot air targets. If anyone here uses Kirovs often, they will know how annoying rocketeers are - maybe the Andropov could be used to fend off rocketeers...maybe it shouldn't have bombs.......AAARGGHH!!!

Yes, ac would be autocannon, and I use like 15 of them just destroy all 7 bases, where most of them get killed because of rocketeers. and since ac, as you said, is for infantry, and rocketeers are infantry, so it may be a good combo.

Just give it dual gatling guns. Make them work against air and ground.

The Soviets dont really need another hard hitter, they have plenty. what they need is support, which they severely lack!

That'd make it too Yuri-like.

TangyTom · 01-05-2003, 09:12 AM

I might actually combine the autocannon idea with the gattling cannon. A autocannon that has increasing speeds - only vs ground though. Although like I said I want to fight stuff in the air.....

OK I can't be bothered thinking about thousands of different ideas. The Andropov Airship will have:

1. Mini Kirov bombs, rescaled, do much less damage then the original, but drop faster. Only versus buildings.
2. Autocannon for use versus tanks and infantry - basically a big machine gun.

And that gentlemen, is that. :|

Gattling does not necessarily mean machine gun...you can make a gattling plasma gun...a gattling laser Platform (Arg, stop giving out your ideas for your third TC....!)

Then make it fire in intervals. That way, it won't get too powerful and "Yuri-like".
