Damn!

[Dogface]

Is the AOE rhino ingame?

[netster]

i saw xray ammunition for vehicles at the traders.. but only found "HH4x4 Combat Chaincraft" in the anouncements. so u'll need a spy/pe for driving + a tank fighting ... thats so mean :(

I tested the combat hover.........it does pitiful dmg :( It feels like the combat vehicle dmgs have been set close to the TL of the driving reqs, rather then the gunning reqs , so despite now having Str/HC reqs of 50+ , the vehicle dmg acually fits more to the Int/Vhc reqs of 25+

(this shouldnt be a issue for combat vehs with seperate gunner/drivers.....its just the solo ones I think)

I will test more combat vehs later and give further infos.

I also found AOE vehicle ammo "vehicle raygun cannon ammo" , but no sign of any aoe vehicle to use it in... the standard rhino took "vehicle laser cannon ammo"

Also did more testing of the combat vehicles:

The 20mm cannon single-user vehs , combat hover+combat chaincraft did quite little dmg (4x20 dmg on a grim) , however the 30mm cannons in the Trike,APC and Reveller did decent dmg (4x50 dmg on Grim) But Frequencys are very much slower then retail , seems about 120/4 freq for all the cannons atm, or 4 hits per sec.....but with nasty recoils can be hard to get more then 1 hit per burst at medium-long range.

The rocket firing single-user assault bike displayed decent dmg (90dmg shot on grim , with about 60 freq) so this appears it will be the best single-user-combat land veh. (however its currently bugged and the dmg doesnt actually stick on the mob)

Rhino dmg output seems similar to before (just tested shooting my own vehs since I couldnt drive it), but havent tested on mobs yet.

I beleive i heard a GM or someone semi-official say at one point that vehicles had been tuned down for a bit until some more things could be developed....or they could have tuned them down permanently which will definetly get a few million emails from me if that happens.

[Lifewaster]

Well those lower combat vehs (combate hover+chaincraft) are still definitely worth using for PvE I'd say mainly because all the mob dmg goes to the bikes not the rider....so its an effective way to hunt stuff that would normally kill you fast.

The Private Eye is still able to use the weaponry in these vehicles by using drugs.

[yuuki]

such answers really can piss someone off :mad:

sometimes one gets the feeling you have no idea what you have implemented there

u mean by taking all available drugs ? i get 85 str with 3 drugs+PA2 on... nightshade gives +3....ending STR88. i cannot gunner seat a rhino, it required STR90 HC 110 TC79 (THATs would be even more sad!)

With retail implants & drugs they can.

With test server implants and drugs?
