Heavy Metal

A few hours spent playing around with the groundobject format can drive a man to do evil things.

 

If it pans out, maybe this will lead to something in the distant future...

Nice madcat.If you get stuck with that and are looking for somthing to make...hint hint.I would love to see some futureistic tanks.maybe grave or hover.I think a near future sci-fi invasion would be rather cool in the strike fighters engine.kinda like ID4 stuff.

Nice to see new talent .

Bring it on. A MechWarrior from way back

Oh awesome! do they actually walk?

 

They need to be near impossible to take down from the air and be effective anti-air platforms.

 

Just recently got back into MW4 mercs too!

Not every Mech is an effective anti-air platform, but they are definitely harder to take down than an ordinary tank...

Partisan AA Vehicle would be nice considering it has surface-2-air shotguns. Glad to see peeps who still appreciate MW though.

I know of no mech that couldn't make quick work of anything in the sky so long as it wasn't outfitted only with weapons useless for anti-air. I always carry pulse lasers which do the job excellently.

 

Hrm, a mechwarrior section would be great here too, it's impossible to find files or a central forum for the old game. There's multiple people modding mercs, but I'll be damned if I'll ever find what tools I need or where to get them.

 

Maybe I'll start on a stilletto( heavy ground attack plane) or that small VTOL fighter.

Well I'm trying to go for a hardcore oldschool BattleTech mod, or at least as close as I can realistically get within the confines of the sim. Which means that unlike in the MechWarrior PC games, aerospace fighters will pwn 'Mechs most of the time.

 

So far the plan is to create a Battle of Tukayyid campaign from the Clan perspective (taken from the Blood of Kerensky novel series) and possibly a Battle of Luthien campaign from the Inner Sphere perspective (again, from Blood of Kerensky). Both will be set in 3052. If time and other obligations permit I might also try to make a campaign set during one of the battles of the 3057 Refusal War (the subject of MechWarrior 2)

 

Thus far, I have this much in the pipeline:

Heavy Lasers, Light Gauss Rifles, Rotary Autocannon, ER medium and small lasers for the Inner Sphere, and most Ultra and LB-X autocannons for the Inner Sphere aren't going to be included right now because they don't fit the timeline of the campaign. Due to limitations of the game engine, all missiles are going to be implemented as "Thunderbolt" one-shot missiles instead of the multi-shot missiles that have been part of BattleTech since the beginning.
