EMP Field Countermeasure

[Dharkbayne]

I thought of this a while back, but I forgot to make a thread on it, what I am thinking of, is an EMP field that runs off of the afterburner power, and extends about 15-30 M around the air/ground vehicle, and what it does, is make ANY guided/locking projectiles go dumbfire, but not explode, so right when they hit the field, they just go straight, what this would do, is that if a vehicle was moving, the missle would most likely miss, but if it was sitting still and just spamming rockets/gunfire, the missle would still hit. Therefore, noone could sit and spam and be invincible vs AA, but they could do strafing runs and not get hit by guided/locking projectiles.

Also, the vehicle would only go at 2/3 the speed, and be unable to use afterburners while the field is active.

Yes, the TR would gain an AA advantage, but hey, we need one.

i like.

But hardly any TR seem to use the burster, i saw one yesterday and we played the TR for nearly the whole time

[Lartnev]

2 reasons why the TR don't like using the burster (I personally use it all the time if I have a character with unimax but for the sake of argument).

1)Infantry damage. I wouldn't have a problem with that except the sparrow and the starfire can hold their own against a single infantryman, something the burster can't.

2)Difficulty in hitting fast or high targets.

[Rbstr]

if a burster lock hisself down in a CY he can keep alot of stuff ot of the air.

Its not neccisarily all about getting kills its also about detering the Air from flying over, becaseu he knows he may go down. The burster is very good at the fear part because of the way it explodes and shows nearly no signs as to ware it came from.

Don't turn this into a AA MAX discussion please.

[HawkEye]

cool idea. i wuold love that for breaking striker locks.

[SilverLord]

I like that idea too dark, that field needs much attention.

I try to post it on the OF, but I get this

I bumped/contributed to the OF thread. :D

Don't turn this into a AA MAX discussion please.

Why not? This change will affect the 3 AA MAX units as well as the striker so I don't see why we shouldn't bring up how it's going to affect the MAX units also.
