Range on Weapons?

[CDaws]

Does any one know what the actual range on the Pheonix is before the guide line snaps?

[Navaron]

and - Does it actually have a guide thread.........

[TerraxNovae]

Technically it COULD be a radio controlled missile, but a wire is simpler and more reliable (no jamming). However it is more limited in range, as noted.

I would like to know the max range both for wire guidance... and total flight time. Say if you flew the missile to just where the line would snap, and aimed it at a turret, then the wire snaps... how far could it travel until the warhead self destructed?

[CDaws]

Well after the wire does snap it goes into dumb fire mod and would eventually fall to the ground either by gravity or the propellent being used up, that is if it didn't hit anything first.
Woooooohooooo the girls of planetside are on my forum.
Nothing like bubble headed beach bunnies to go home to after a hard days fight on the battlefield. ;)

[Camping Carl]

Gotta love that sig. :D

[Stalefish]

That is the best sig......ever.......

[Navaron]

They don't self destruct, they fly like a regular missle once the tow cable breaks, and detonate upon impact. They fly true after visual is lost.

[CDaws]

But what's the range before the cable snaps and you loose guidance control?

[Camping Carl]

Where's smokejumper when you need him?

[Coliostro]

Making a game :D

[Coliostro]

WOOO HOOOO!!! I finally did enough :spam: to make Soldier hehehehe

[Stalefish]

They need those post statistics count thingies so we can tell where we are. I'm kinna lost as to how many posts I've made. :p

[Coliostro]

I just send myself a PM to find out where i am. It shows how many posts you have right under your name in a PM..Don't know why it doesn't in the forum.

[Stalefish]

So what are the posts-rank ratios?

[Incompetent]

postcounts cause spam

Edit: having titles set up this way does the same thing though, it doesn't really make sense to me

Recruit (Minimum Posts: 0)
Soldier (Minimum Posts: 50)
Veteran (Minimum Posts: 125)
Commander (Minimum Posts: 225)
Admiral (Minimum Posts: 500)
General (Minimum Posts: 900)
l33t Whore (Minimum Posts: 1000)

[Tegadil]

...yup.

[TiMe-ELF]

i know its not to the point but i really like those planetsidegirls!!!!!! i think we should use them!
could you do em topless?

[Flashingfish]

topless? go find some real porn if you're that desparate :rolleyes:

And who ever said there was a cable for the phoenix? As far as I can remember the Redeemer in UT (same principle) had no cable =/

I'm sure they would have made it so it's a lot less likely to jam or what have you, seeing as this is in the future.

[Sandtaco]

Hopefully you can jam it with that jamming device...

[CDaws]

If you did use the jammer grenade you would have to throw it at the soldier guideing the Pheonix to dissrupt the signal unless, you timed it just right for the grenade to explode in the air of the missels path. If you do that to screw up the missle you might as well just kill the soldier using it and save the grenade for a better purpose.

[Blitzkrieg]

You could always try and shoot it down :rolleyes: :sniper:
:D :D

[CDaws]

That's true you could, could shoot it down. I wounder just how hard it will be to shot a Pheonix out of the sky.

[Navaron]

I was the one who started the thing with the TOW cable. I know that the thing this is based on uses a series of wires to guide it, and I was guessing that this would have something similar. If not at least a "signal" that would be lost at a certain range. I was thinking that otherwise they could be flown forever. Anyway........

[Stalefish]

It could be like a touring device!

See the world of Auraxis through the eyes of a Phoenix missile! Only $3 per use! At the end you even get to blow something up! :D

Funny, I could have sworn I started the tow cable thing. When I made the first post on my thread. Guess I must be wrong.

:lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol: Stalefish, good show.

[Navaron]

Well smartass,

Over on the thread that this topic started on *I* brought it up. Would you like some steak sauce with your crow?

[Navaron]

Here ya go......

"Just a thought, If this is modeled after a mounted or shoulder fired TOW missle, these things have a wire tether that leads back to the base (From this missile) which is what transmits the signal to the receiver. However, this thin brace of wire snaps at a certain distance, albeit far, but then it is just a dumbfire missle that has been guided in. So in theory, you have to be reasonably close to guide it to your target - probably in range of a sniper or a MAX or a tank - so you'd better get your ass in gear once that thing makes impact."

And on top of that, dio mentioned something across those lines b4 you posted. Wow, you can fit your whole foot into your mouth? Thats cool.

:p (I'm just messing with you, don't get all testy - I hate that)

The Pheonix is a bad ass weapon. It takes skill to use the thing cause you have to fly the missle to the target. I for one will admire anyone who masters it. Just imagine seeing a Pheonix fired flown through a group of infantry right up the middle just to kill a Max or other armored unit. Nothing like seeing a missle comming right at you only to buzz your head and blow up behind you. :D And there's no other infantry weapon that you can control the flight path of after its been fired. Everything else is either lock on ( fire and forget ) or dumb fired, it's too easy using faf weapons. I like a challenge.

Steaksause ruins crow. Now after you clean one and defeather it you cook it like you would a cornish gamehen with stuffing inside it with a few spices. Bake in an oven on 350 degrees F and wait untill it's a golden brown. It's actually quite good if you do it right. :D

[CDaws]

I know dude, no probs. You can also dumbfire the Pheonix right from the start so you don't have to wait around.

[Navaron]

The TOW thing was all me though............

[CDaws]

We both did. I implied it and you spelt it out.

[Navaron]

You'll........never.......get......the.......last. ........word......arrrggg

[CDaws]

I swear some people are never satisfied no matter what you do.

[Navaron]

not......satisfied........

;)

[CDaws]

yep thats right not satisfied.

[Navaron]

I can't stop..... someone help me.... please......... :D

[CDaws]

It's a sad :tear: thing when someone admits they are a forum junky and can't stop posting, Navaron. :no:

[TerraxNovae]

Both of you,

Shaddup and watch the sig :p

[CDaws]

Woooooooohoooooooo Twice on the same thread thank you TerraxNovae LOVE THAT SIG:love:

[Navaron]

You know whats really sad is when people get on forums and get uptight over a joke. I WAS MAKING A JOKE. Whats the air like up there on your perch?

[CDaws]

And here I thought this thing was setteled. Damn don't you ever stop Navaron or do you just keep digging yourself deeper and deeper in that hole of yours? Sooner or later if you don't stop you'll bury yourself. Or better yet keep on so we don't hear from you again. You take things TOO seriously. GET OVER IT!

[Navaron]

MAN ALMIGHTY,

You need to come down from that perch of yours to the world where the rest of us live. I *was* the one making a joke - YOU passed judgement - "It's a sad thing when someone admits they are a forum junky and can't stop posting, Navaron." I take things too seriously huh? I was joking. You got all serious and personal. Get a life. Let bygones be bygones. I was joking *trying* to have fun, and that is still my intention. Join in if you want, but don't flame me for it.

[Hamma]

Calm down folks ;)

[mistled]

They're calm hamma. Just two guys who don't know when to shutup. :nod:

[Navaron]

YOU talkin to me punk?? YOu want some. I know when to shut up. I could shut up right now if I wanted. I just don't want to. Even if I did, you couldn't.........Ohhh.......I see what you mean........

Time to break out the black hole again..... Dammit


Sorry hamma :scared:


(:nazi: )

heehee

[�io]

Hamma you should make a new forum section called "Big mouth" so Navaron can talk all he wants without messing up threads. ;)

[mistled]

you're asking the 2x l33t whore to worry about where someone is posting?? if hamma was going to do that, he'd have created a foum for himself long ago. :D

[�io]

:lol:

Touch�!

[Navaron]

Comon DIO,

wheres the love???? I never messed up a thread...that many times. If I *did*, it was at least funny. There's nothing wrong with that, especially since there's no new news about the game.

[�io]

The :love: is there, i was just messing with ya. :p
I'm like that, 97% of what i say is always in good fun, i have very few evil bones in me.(if any :lol: )

/me :hug: Navaron



(And yes i'm aware you were kidding as well. ;))

[CDaws]

I'm gone for a few hours and Navaron is still complaining. Gees. :rolleyes: Will it ever end? :confused:

[Navaron]

You guys remember that song "You're so vain". Yep.

Awwwwwwww thanks Dio. I love you man.;)

[�io]

:hug:s and http://fmc.animecity.nu/emoticons/kissy.gifs for everybody!!!

:love:

[CDaws]

I also remember Hair of the dog by Nazareth. :p

[mistled]

I'm feeling the love in this thread.

[Navaron]

"I also remember Hair of the dog by Nazareth. "

Now this is what I'm talking about....good humoruos smack.

[CDaws]

Not to mention Close Friends by Adema. :rock:

[Navaron]

Not really on topic but, "Baby got back" o yeah.

:spam: sorry ham

[CDaws]

This sure got civil in a hurry. :brow: What the hell happened? :confused: Did I miss something?:huh: No offence but, I sure hope Dio is a girl I sure wouldn't want to be kissed and huged by a man now if he's Italian than that's ok it's custom. That I can handle.

[Navaron]

ugg Italian. That's not a cool custom. I don't care if Tony Soprano does do it, it's still fruity.

this is what happened
"I also remember Hair of the dog by Nazareth"

You made a joke back.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm glad you're not on my team. I don't want any tree huggers and hippies in NC.

:nono:

[Hamma]

Try to stay on topic if at all possible, the lounge is for all the off topic stuff you want :p

[mistled]

So did anyone ever locate smokejumper to get an answer to this thread??

[Navaron]

Well lets think about balance. The missle has to be fairly hard to steer and fast otherwise it will be going in doors. It also has to have a range limit. I doubt it actually has a TOW line. There must be a long/no reload time. Other wise every NC will pack one (fine by me) and every battle will start off with a volley of TOWs. Actually that'd be cool as hell. Nevermind.

[CDaws]

It's a sign of respect for an offer you can't refuse. ;) Ah Goodfellas, what a movie. You talking to me? :scared: You think I'm funny? :scared: You think I'm funny like a clown? You think I'm here to amuse you?:scared: You got that right. :nod:

[Navaron]

It's a sign you got some sugar in your tank and think someone's a piece of sweet meat. Naw, I know where it's from. I've just got some issues with people.

[CDaws]

That's the stud earing in the right ear that is. Dosen't anyone have an answer to the Phoenix thing? :confused:

[Navaron]

No one knows. Maybe we should post on the official forums. I'll do that.
