A Tank paradrop?

Orca004ky · Posted: Sat Mar 08, 2003 11:36 pm Post subject: A Tank paradrop?

I was wondering, could there be a way to make a code that would allow players to Drop a reninforcement of Tanks? Thatd be awsome! Twisted Evil

only tanks that are in SHP format (like the terror drone). and they would only be able to work through a trigger in a map, not like the paradrop you click where you want it to go.

OMG...what is so attractive in making a tank paradrop...we discussed that like a million times on DZ forums...making a tank paradrop will be a golden oppurtunity for the ifv/flack trucks r any AA tanks in ur mod to gain experience.

well, not really, because most tanks have good armor, unless you are trying to drop a terror drone, lol.

Map triggers can do anything, including stuff like this, which rules coding can't.

You know why? Check the cow's sequence in Art.ini, I bet it doesn't have Paradrop= frames defined. Set it to any frames, try Ready= for reference.

hmm, sounds llike that may (or is) be the problemo.

actually... I've seen tanks paradroped in a mod before... although it looked very strange, cuz it still had a shadow.... I can't remembe the mod right now though.... hmmm either way I'm pretty sure there is a way to do it.. but I haven't edited RA2 in a while, I've been going pure TS lately...

I once set the paradrops to 200 cows. The enemy just sits there trying to move.

concerning the history channel they can drop a abrhams tank, but only like 1 or 2 , the tonnage will wiegh down the plane...i.e (svg pt ryan)..its really not aplicable in combat to drop tanks espicially during a para drop when the inf could be crushed or the tank could fall into enemy hands, then ur tech is theirs, depleted uraniuam an others.....plus paratroopers are disteguish for that very reason, u never heard of a paratanks divs.

well have you ever seen a Psychic Dominator in real life?
Trust me if games were realistic, they'd suck.

whoever needs to paradrop tanks, check out RockPatch

Dude. C-130s drop tanks on makeshift runways for reinforcements. Not in-the-field deployment. And as for stupidity, go look up the Flying Tank the Soviets made during WWII...

Also tanks won't nesecarily be too heavy to drop by plane. Especially some new tanks that i heard of that are made of plastic Very Happy

They are even harder than the current metal tanks and weigh a few tonnes less than current tanks and are generally better Very Happy

when i worked on dover airbase i could see c-4's an c-5's unloading heli's an such im sure they do the same with tanks but they do not drop them on the runway in a parachute format, so parachuiting tanks in combat is not happening no time soon.

those who remember the original C&C gdi-nod saw that tanks were landed by cargo plane on a runway, but never dropped in mid air with a chute

Allied General · Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2006 12:46 pm Post subject:

hence why RA2 is a GAME

In RL we just paradrop small vehicles like APC units but since this is CNC you do anything.

Talking about realism in a game where magnetism and mind control are used in combat along with giant squid and dolphins is just rofl
