Rename the Tank Killer?

Post by Zarel »

It appears to me that some people don't like the name of the Tank Killer.

Me, I'm relatively neutral. But if enough people want a change, I'm all for it.

Several different threads over the years. Some conversations on IRC.

I vote for another name, since in real life the Javelin is an anti-tank missile, not a anti-tank rocket. Unless you are going to make it the first missile developed in Warzone, better to use a different name.
My game handle is Cosmic Raven or Cosmic Raven 68

I am more concerned about the purpose of this weapon than its name. There is really nothing that sets it apart from other weapons. Perhaps if it was a pure AT weapon, it would live more up to its name.

Javelin does not fit. I would propose calling it one of:
Devastator AT Rocket, Annihilator AT Rocket, Heavy Lancer, or Twin Lancer (it has 4 tubes).

Feel free to use these names for renaming something else instead.

I like this one. It fits in with the way many other weapons have twin variants.

But it doesn't make sense.
Lancer already has 2 rockets.

I personally like Tank Killer as it is. As far as I know it's the most powerful rocket (scourge is a missile [it homes in]) so I think it can have a name like that.

But it doesn't really look like a twin lancer, it has the same colour scheme, but the shape is much different, and the lancer has two 'pods' already which might make it a bit confusing.

Very well, we're sticking with "Tank Killer", and I'll refer anyone who suggests a change in the future to this poll. ;)

What good was the tank killer anyway? My tanks with it on never seemed to want to fire at anything.
