As mentioned in the previous article
The 88 gun truck is a very worthless vehicle
Not only is he fragile, he is also unable to effectively attack aircraft.
And a certain administrator also mentioned that he was worried that it would be an overly powerful anti-infantry vehicle like a rocket car.
(In my experience of 5,000 games, this mechanism can only effectively suppress incompetent groups who refuse to think. The map is so big, there are so many roads full of bunkers to take, there are so many ways to destroy, and there are so many vehicle options, not to mention this It’s a [team] game. Is it that hard to destroy or escape or interfere with a camping tank? )
Get to the point
firstly
You have to think about it from a mortar soldier’s point of view
This means that they also have the disadvantages of mortars (depending on guidance or luck or terrain)
The 88 gun truck should have two functions: tank gun mode and mortar mode
But in order to prevent him from becoming a killer who specializes in dealing with idiots, the mortar mode needs to be slightly weakened.
Plan A
The reload time of HE shells on the mortar mode downloader will be increased to 25 seconds and the drop time will remain at 7 seconds.
The reload time of armor-piercing rounds is the same as in tank mode to ensure that armor-piercing rounds have a higher chance of penetrating a tank.
Plan B
Extend the cooldown time of supplies to 5 minutes to directly block their continuous firepower.
20 rounds of each of 2 types, 5 rounds per second = 100 seconds
After using these 20 rounds of high-explosive bombs, there is still a 200-second supply cooling time.
This is enough for most players to save their shells rather than waste them on a single location in a short period of time.
In this way, the 88 gun truck is not a killer targeting idiots, but a fixed target killer that highly relies on friendly forces for guidance marking or the player’s judgment ability.
Some people may think that ammunition is reloaded too quickly
But anyone who has played mortars knows that the landing point of the shells is almost random.
Even if you clearly mark the enemy vehicle or location, there is still a considerable chance that the mortar will be seriously biased.
They will also inherit this major flaw in mortar mode
So you almost don’t have to worry about this thing killing you every time (unless you have really bad luck)
Rocket car has tank mode and parabola mode
1 plan
Ranging system with mortars
But their shooting trajectories and dispersion are based on communications rockets
More tilted angle = easier to be blocked by buildings and bunkers
The supply cooldown time is adjusted according to the number and power of rockets of each rocket vehicle.
The supply cooldown of Soviet and German rocket vehicles is 2 minutes (because their ammunition is very small, the result is no different from communication bombardment)
The supply cooldown of T34 is 4 minutes (1 minute of pleasure, 3 minutes of pain)
2 plan
Retains his original reload ability
But it only gives the rocket a shooting trajectory and no ranging system.
This means that they cannot obtain the distance parameter on their own and can only rely on friendly forces or luck to correct it.
Some people may think that this kind of parabolic strike is terrible
But anyone who has actually used a rocket car knows that it is almost impossible for a shooter to attack without interruption.
Because even shooting in a straight line requires calculating the descent and transfer to the appropriate terrain and ensuring the shooting trajectory
Without teammates’ corrections and terrain detection, the rocket car is also blind.
You can only rely on kill tips and map knowledge to search for enemies.
The thickness of the launchers of T34 and self-propelled vehicles is between 5 and 8MM = almost no thickness.
Even a mortar or an aircraft machine gun or a heavy machine gun can penetrate it and detonate it
As for the 88 gun truck and the Soviet rocket car? They are basically open spaces.
It’s the same level as the coffin and the M8.
Soviet rocket vehicles even had their ammunition exposed
