Description
China Flame general received a new unit. The Fuel Truck spills fuel by command. Fuel can be ignited by any incendiary weapon. Buildable from Command Center. Requires Propaganda Center.
(buried)
Is this unit buildable? If so, what does it do?
Read the description.
Not sure if troll or just plain stupid.
Wow, that's a lot of negative karma for asking what was a sensible question before the Contra team added the description.
Makes me glad I'm not active on here much now.
You should remake the textures to match the other new content.
Congrats! This is the 100th Update on my Profile :D
205th xD
500th something
i keep deleting them after 50 or so
Around itself? How to use it? Does it have fireproof armor?
i think it leaks it, then the trail or splatter can be ignited
Aye, it only leaves fuel pool, you can ingite it with any flame weapon anytime.
Yes, I know that, but I have no idea how to use this to defeat someone. Imagine that it spills fuel around itself and immediately burn itself.
You have to be careful with them. Fuel pools can be ignited by incendiary weapons only. You are supposed to spill the fuel at your enemy (for example - a Command Center), move your Fuel Trucks away from the fuel pools (so you won't burn them) and then ignite the fuel pools with an incendiary unit.
Well, I wonder what made you think about such unit. But ok, we will find it a role xD
it can be used for traps lol. or spatter some around a building and call in a napalm strike and add lil fuel to the already big fire.
I don't think I need to use the napalm strike if this unarmed truck can reach a important building so easily... But OK, maybe some sneak assult will work.
well if the fuel trucks explode with some fire and aren't to expansive i would just drive them up to the base, spill the fuel and then ignite it with the trucks on it
Seems kinda suicide unit if fuel stays for a short time? I liked the unit design good job guys
The Fuel Truck spills a fuel pool on the ground by your command. You can ignite the fuel pool by flame weapons after you've moved the Fuel Truck away from the fuel pool.
Will it explode like a bomb truck when destroyed?
No. It will ruin the gameplay.
If it does, ppl will simply use it as a bomb truck.
Maybe it can spill when destroyed, like a GLA tractor
maybe you could add a nozzle to spill the fuel?
this unit should be reavalueted
That's why we will release a public Beta. People will test everything out.
i thought only GLA was suicidal xd
The Fuel Truck is not suicidal. Read the description.
" The Fuel Truck spills fuel by command. Fuel can be ignited by any incendiary weapon."
Something about that tells me that driving it up to the enemy, then spilling it, then igniting it, would kill the truck too :)
You can move the Fuel Truck away from the fuel pool. The fuel pool gets ignited manually by firing at it with any incendiary weapon (for example - Vortex Tank).
危......sounds dangerous indeed
exelent idea
very nice just a question though since you guys are adding this in does that mean flame general loses ability to drop fuel wherever he pleases?
No, he doesn't lose that ability. Flame General can spill fuel by Fuel Tubes, Immolators, Fuel Trucks and the general's power. The Fuel Truck is just an addition to his fuel abilities from 007.
i see so when are we seeing more updates?
Next week.
Is the fuel truck is fireproof like fuel tube and when its destroyed it spills fuel like toxic tractor?
It's not fireproof and doesn't spill fuel when destroyed. You have to do it manually.
If the fuel won't be spilled when destroyed, there should come a powerful explosion. Logically, fuel should not disappear for nothing.
(In case when you didn't activated 'spilling', your truck is full and shot down)
We'll discuss it and make sure it's balanced.
This thing looks like fun :3 Can see it's use in defence work, lay out alot of fuel in front og your defence towers, and when the enemy comes along, your defence struters fires, and there shall be a flaming inferno :3
Will it be the nomral flame only? Or can it be upgaded with the blue flame? ^^
But it would be cool, if it got destoied, that it spilled some fuel, and maybe put the fuel on fire :3 Would make it a bit danguers, to have standing in your base ^^
Fuel can't be upgraded.
Use it to troll the enemy. Make him/her ****** off.
it need to have some thing but i dont know what ??
Как уже говорилось, модель надо переделать под стиль новых, старая основа уже не то !
Looks dangerous..
No offense, but I tried it and does no damage at all, and this is one of my faves.
(I read the description, I also know that it ignites) but how does it work?
