View Full Version : Realistical damage and Equip.
One thing I really hope they get in this is that they put in realistic damage, so that battles are less tedius at times, not to realistic though, otherwise cover will come into play and battles would be to short. One thing they need is troops which can multi task, I hate having a squad of GI's on CNC:G just getting run over by one tank, it sucks to be honest, they need to be able to deal with um, say each GI has a LAW with one shot which is a straght shot. Something so as they can not just get hit by a 2 MPH going tank and get killed.

if you make it realistic infantry would be near useless. tank shells would instantly kill multiple soldiers with impunity not to mention missiles damage and range. structures would be taken out in 2 - 3 missiles from a Surface-to-Surface Missile launcher and not to mention all starting infantry would take out each other in one shot. but some realism would be nice though like probably make tank shells do half damage on infantry instead of instantly kill them.

I have reached the conclusion before, that it is impossible nevermind not wise to consider realism is the solution to a good RTS, however it is essential to have a decent amount of realism for an RTS.
It's like they say, too much of a good thing can be bad. Realism in an RTS' case should definetly be added where it doesn't effect gameplay at all (such as using a real tank like the Abrams instead of a made up one) and outside that should only be added if it enhances gameplay.

I wish that they will make it like in codename:panzers phase one(an UBER good RTS,just a MUST)that in order to win,you will need to use tanks,with infentry,that will kill the enemy AT infentry(that can be quite a threat to the tanks),as the tanks MG are not THAT powerfull.it will stop players from spaming with tanks,and use some tactics.
As I said not to realistic for the game would be over in seconds, but I would disagree with the tanks pwning all thing, Infantry can easily sneak up on tanks without anyone noticing and they can hide round corners and run away into backstreets easily. but you get what I mean, just give infantry more equip to deal with things.
also would Full spectrum warrior be a bad game, havn't played it myself, but aparantly it's uber realistic, so i'm guessing tanks shred you, and if not there are plenty of third and first person shooters where tanks pwn all but are taken down by infantry.
