RA1 Chrono tank logics in RA2-YR: is it possible?

Really, have someone thought about this thing? I see it's very usable but I don't like codes. (:

So (to Ares developers) please create this logic in Ares.

Give him 100 euro and I am sure he will do it for you.

It's already in the game. WW just rewrote it for the Chrono Miner.

Nope. In RA1 the Chrono Tank allowed you to deploy it. Behind the scenes the game manually recreated the effect that the tank was selected by the ChronoShift SW and set the cursor to ChronoWarp. Clicking at the target location appeared to just move the unit there. Actually, it was like the real Chronosphere that fired (and it checks for the CTNK so it won't enable TimeQuake/ChronalVortex and it won't reset the unit after some minutes). RA2 does not do this.

Copy the chrono ability from chrono legionnaire to make a chrono tank. RA1 you have to deploy to teleport, but the time are instant, however in RA2, you have to wait for the chrono legionnaire to become available after teleporting them on the map.

that would be another stunning feature that hopefully ares may include one day

That would actually be quite a useless feature except from recreating that specific tank... I would be more interested in like a thousand other things.

Something that appears easier is for example using a TS [jumpjet] style logic in RA2 vehicles (drive or fly according to circumstances), that already works on calculation... for Subterranean locomotor. That, or enabling subterranean for infantry without bugs and etc.

Or even making aircraft that are not insta-downed by any amount of emp, but configurable like vehicles (this should be easier?). It's very annoying to have an aircraft giant blimp and see it downed by an EMP of 1...

I worked on ChronoTanks long ago. It was 2010 or 2011. They might not be that usefuld themselves, but the requirements to make them work certainly are.

By design, aircraft has no way to land properly when EMP hits. Generally, working with locomotors is quite nasty.

Have you look into the Mobile EMP in TS/FS? I have been considering abusing that feature to create a MAD Tank and Crono Tank feature.

The Mobile EMP uses a single hardcoded weapon. The RA2 deployer logic is much more advanced.

I want just the same Chrono tank logic as in RA1, not something like a tank that teleports like a Legionnaire.
