VTOL scout weapon

[Wibble199]

I always thought that the bug vtol looked like a good scout but any weapon seemed to be too big for it. Would it be possible to make an invisible sensor for it, if you know what i mean. so it would act like a sensor in all ways, but be completely invisible?

Interesting idea, I'll see if it is possible.

Don't ask why, but I uploaded the version which had bugs while testing.
This is the working mod:

And you want to know why the game crashed?
Because the game isn't capable of differing "BODY4ABT" and "Body4ABT".
Result of game being compiled on Linux, I guess.

why we dont put in normal game

Well, even if lots of people liked it, implementation would still be the main problem:
How will you present an invisible turret to people? The most obvious anwser would be to make it part of preset template, but what if someone wants to change the body?

I wouldn't mind seeing a radar jammer on a vtol such as that... The invisible sensor (or have it as an invisible wide spectrum sensor) is cool because as a scout you need to see more than you would need to fight.

why we cant so put normal sensor in, it can even be wide spectrum
