I have an idea for a new vehicle turret. Missile turrets as they are would be renamed to rocket turrets, and new missile turrets be made lock on only and vertical launch. This would allow for indirect fire, however, lock-on cannot be made indirectly. I propose a target painter to go along with both vehicle turrets and swarm launchers. The target painter would be infantry equipment that, when used, will lock on to an enemy vehicle and show it on the tacnet for as long as it is locked. Additionally, lock-ons can be made twice as fast when targetting a painted vehicle, and swarm launchers and (the new) missile turrets can get locks on target painted vehicles through terrain, furthermore, when swarms get locks on target painted vehicles the missiles launch upwards rather than heading directly for the vehicle.
Target painters could give small amounts of additional damage against painted vehicles if needed, however it would have to suffer from stacking penalties or be very op against vehicles in numbers.
A different way to implement target painter lock-on (and perhaps all lock-ons), would be that it can only lock on to targets above a certain signature profile. Therefore it could lock on to heavies that had their sig inflated somehow, or vehicles with low enough sig profile could be immune to painting (a role for black ops tanks?).
Comments appreciated. |

I think this would be solid if:
1. the missiles could be shot down
2. they moved slow enough to see coming
3. they deal really heavy damage
4. the missile only locks onto something WHILE it's target painted
This reminds me of firing Arrow IVs in Mechwarrior Living Legends. I loved teaming up with people and having someone on the ground painting targets while I rained hell on them. Good fun, and requires good communication. |

Yeah, we need guided missiles, though I don't think they should all be vertical launch. What we have now are more like rockets than missiles.
I think CCP could learn a few things from Armored Core 5 like how missiles are done there, as well as other things. Yeah, it's a mech game, but they feel more like actual futuristic war machines than the vehicles we have now. It think how the weapons work is a big part of that. |
