Cyborg Twin Weapons

[Shimoo]

This would be more an aesthetic suggestion, but I think it would also make cyborgs, especially the normal ones, more usable. Instead of only one weapon turret ( personally, it's too similar to any small body tank ), cyborgs would sport twin weapons, something like the starcraft Goliath. I just got the source code and I'll try to do it myself. Of course, balance issues are likely to arise.

Not really. Doble mount = 50% ROF ~ Problem Solved.

It would look strange, I think. But feel free to try it out and see. However, one thing I have thought about was to give cyborgs an option to switch weapons. Press a key / push a button, wait a few seconds (for balance) while you show some animation, then cyborgs use a secondary weapon instead (or switch back to their primary weapon). This would make them more versatile.

Sure, I thougth about this. But I also thougth about making cyborgs with a little more firepower. So, in comparison to small body tanks, they would have more firepower but would be more vulnerable, decreasing the overlap of cyborgs and tanks.

The weapon switching looks interesting. It would be awesome to fire a salvo of rockets them close in with flamer

Also, are there any plans to design cyborgs, just like the tanks?

this topic was discussed so long ago, i am not sure which forum software it was.... it was a discussion on john woo ( movies he made had people using twin 45 caliber pistols) - the using of 2 weapons at the same time... perhaps rman remembers, i think it was on the newst site.... or maybe one of the sites prior to the release...

I've been searching for a while, it seems I won't have to deal with the code to do this, based on this post: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6889&p=72708&hilit=dragon#p72738

So, I think its better to move this thread to the mapping/modding section.

Clearly, replacing 1's with 2's in that file won't do the full trick, so I'll have to edit the pies for the cyborgs bodies, right?

IDK about the small cyborgs but the super cyborgs look better with 2 weapons than the small cyborgs because there big and chunky.
