Wide Spectrum Sensor Should Prioritize Its CB Function

Post by Violin »

Although the wide spectrum sensor combines both active detection and passive detection, it often causes more trouble. Imagine you have lots of hellstorms, assigned to a wide spectrum sensor tower. And your opponent has many tanks and one hellstorm, assigned to a CB tower. Your hellstorms will fire at enemy's tanks. And enemy's hellstorm will fire at your hellstorms. The result is that all your hellstorms will be destroyed. To return fire to enemy's hellstorm, you will have to build a CB tower and demolish the wide spectrum sensor tower, which is quite ironic.
Therefore, I think the wide spectrum sensor should prioritize its CB function, which makes it more useful.

...it already does prioritize its CB function, doesn't it?

I'll go look into it.

wide spectrum does NOT do that. you need specific counter battery tower - keeping in mind the 4 howitzers to one cb tower. ok? :3 xD

Thank you. But can you point out which manual supports your statement? Zarel's guide says that the Wide Spectrum Sensor combines Sensor, VTOL, CB, VTOL CB.

Wide spectrum is supposed to have CB. At least according to the code.

The Wide Spectrum Sensor is not mentioned by name in the original Pumpkin Manual that came with the retail game...
because when the manual went to press, Pumpkin had yet to create it.

Actually CB function is observed. I think the problem is the wide spectrum sensor does not do its CB job first.
