This (D2kA) is my mod for the OpenRA game with the goal to improve on Dune2k gameplay in multiple small steps. New content and inspirations from the Dune books take precedence over balance changes, initialy. (Development has ceased)
In the context of a first balance pass to remove unfair advantages introduced by my own units, I decided to give thopters anti-air beam weapons. (Cool weapon sounds included ;) )
Now thopters can be targeted by thopters, missile tanks and rocket turrets. Also, Atreides can no longer produce thopters from the light factory.
can't wait for this mod
The Thopters should get the Air to Air Machineguns.
And by the way what flight type used by thopters? Is it the Helicopter one or the Flyby fixedwing aircraft one?
Even better: they have anti-air (laser) beams.
The thopters can hover with their wings like some birds of prey can. In-game they behave like helicopters with a high maneuverability.
