IMO, one of the problems with killing tanks is that even the most armored tank can just drive off to the nearest supply depot when ambushed, leaving behind a trail of forge heavies and AV suits scrambling to get into position.

I propose the creation of a grenade and/or proximity mine that drastically slows down the movement of vehicles.

How would it work?

The grenades would home in on vehicles just like AV grenades. When they hit, the vehicle stops, just as if it had collided with a building (except without damage). (*)

It then cannot move or turn for three seconds, after which it can drive off as normal.

Graviton prox mines would have the same effect.

How would people use them?

In a coordinated attack, one player could throw graviton grenades to stop a tank in its tracks, while everyone else lays into it with AV weapons.

However, it's of little use to a solo suit, since it doesn't do any damage.


Thoughts?






(*)I suppose if someone hits a drop ship with one, it probably should cause some collision damage as it lands with a bump.
