Warzone 2100 Forums

Afraid I haven't made up my mind yet on this DPS issue... all I know right now is that when some random Nexus Hover in the very first Mountain mission with Scourge missiles, aggros on my 'Tiger' veteran unit... It's gonna frigging die. And the only way to ever save it is to load the last saved position b/c they ignore armor entirely and have enough range to kill my 'dude' even when he retreated @ medium and is already halfway back to my base. ...and I've never seen a TK or Lancer enemy do that, not even VTOL ones...

Being able to keep building Lancer Hardpoints would be nice though....I definitely miss them after they get phased out.

Lancer AT Rocket
Tank Killer Rocket
Scourge Missile

The words "Rocket" and "Missile" are part of their names...

Not to mention their upgrades:

HEAT Rocket Warhead
Improved Rocket Wire Guidance
Rocket Autoloader

I can understand confusion over whether or not Mini-Rockets were Rockets (they're not), but not whether rockets were missiles...

I always remembered "Lancer Missiles" and "Tank Killer" Missiles...I dunno maybe my brain was playing assumptive tricks on me.

From what I recall they were just called Lancer and Tank Killer...in research...perhaps I never looked and/or memorized the info on the weapon. (You know, the option on the bottom-left.)

That and the aforementioned graphics similarity...they didn't have the blue glow graphic of rocket pods.

Also, I never thought of Warzone as being overtly technical with the terms rocket and missile in that sense...hard to explain.

Yeah, I think we should have a different graphic for rocket versus missile projectiles.

I think all rockets should have the blue glow and missiles have a red glow.

Good idea. I'll do that.

Why don't we actually give them nice graphics like in 1.12?

I mean honestly mini-pods look like energy balls and the others look like fireballs...
