HTH82 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 hey there. Just to mention it - the machine gun on the first tank is fine and all - but the original ufo had a basic tank with a rocket launcher on it available. problem was - all the advanced tanks never came with the rocket option. whats the point of having a floating tank (which wont hit anything at all - really...) if it cant do anything decent... ^^ to cut a long story short - please dont forget to include rocket tanks. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I was thinking that the option to change armament on your Xeno-tank, would allow for a few options, presumably one of them being a rocket type thingy later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The hovertank in EU(1994) came in the plasma and blaster launcher varieties. Are you saying the blaster launcher was a poor rocket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 yeah, it was rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Pancakes Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Especially when it came with a free load of blaster bombs when you deployed it on base defense missions without any ammo. It was horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauddlike Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I haven't used the rocket ferret for a while, is it no longer available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 It's been removed and is going to be made researchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thought that might be the case, glad to see it will definitely be making a return though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTH82 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 good to know that they´ll be making a comeback - speaking of rockets - how about a gas rocket? if you can put it in a grenade, you should be able to deliver it by rocket - which could the be used by rocket tanks, for example. with these aliens beeing so damn tough any responsible commander would use every single advantage one could think of. and why sacrifice a good soldier when an (sort of) unmanned vehicle will do.

svidangel Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Even better, have the ferret able to deploy smoke grenades to cover itself for cheap TUs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoGomez Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 That'd be very appreciated. Real tanks can do that, so why can't imaginary ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Gauddlike, front and center! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It is possible to add a secondary weapon to the Ferret and one I experimented with was a smoke launcher. It worked nicely and I will probably be remaking it for the later versions. There is a walkthrough of how I did it here (may be outdated but the basics should still be sound).
