Description
Let me see if I get this right: a seismic shockwave generator 'hammer' that ONLY damages foes... Seems legit.
That's soviet technology for ya!
You want Soviets to build something that damages their own units? They're not stupid.
This is advanced seismic wave channeling technology at work! The shockwave still damages anything that gets in it, be it friend or foe.
The lore explains that there is a wave directing mechanism.
May I remind you that this is a game where Cyborgs can fight dinosaurs in Antarctica?
I just can`t stop watching them.They are too awesome ^^.
(watching the same vid for about 5 minutes)
Out of curiosity, what is the range of the Hammer? (and splash radius)
So... It's the return of MAD tank tech? That's awesome.
in this case: mad turrets
Yea, but this time, they dont blow up like they did in RA1. :P
Wow, and I thought the Grand Cannon was a useless waste of space when it comes to defenses.
Balancing for the win.
Grand Cannon: Long Range, less things it can hit at once.
Soviet Hammer: Shorter Range, more things it can hit at once.
Considering some of the tactics used by some sub-factions, defenses that can damage multiple units will be a blessing.
If the soviets can get electricity arcs to target what they want without damaging their own stuff, i'm not surprised they can do so with seismic weapons.
nice idea
Hammer operator: "U can't touch this!"
*enemy drives inside minimum range*
Hammer operator: "FFFFUUUU-"
Yup, that's why you shouldn't expect Grand Cannons, Hammers or ... to form an inpenetrable defense line. You need to support them with units and lower tier defenses.
So they aren`t very usefull against infantry?
They're mediocre against infantry.
turrets my freind, turrets
Love it.
Omg, so much win...
Now that is just awesome! Definitely way better then old voltagor amplifier(Did i spell it right?) from 1.2.
Bringing Down The Hammer!
Did anyone realised that the color on top of Hammer changes when rising? :D
It's a subtle way to show you the 'button' is not ready to press.
Disregard this.
no more visible tank shells?
Not really..if you remember "Defender" he didn`t had shells either!
Personally I don't like invisible insta-hit tank shells but that is just my opinion.
I mean that some units like "defender" in 2.0 and "Pitbull" in 3.0 won`t have shells..this doesn`t mean that the rest of them won`t have.
M.A.D Turret!
"M.A.D. Tank deployed!"
This is M.A.D.ness!
This is SPARTAAAAA!
Maybe make some visible projectile movement like TI's Earthquake Emitters? That would be sweet. :D
awesome! but will it work attacking someone on a bridge high up in the air? also can it kill subtrainian units under ground? it would be cool to counter drillers in some way :p
can it kill subterainian units underground? it would be nice to counter the driller in some way :p I mean like, theirs a reason why Tiberian Sun had pavement implemented. you should try doing something like that... besides walls :)
