My AV MAX idea


Okay, I came up with a flawed idea to make the AV MAXs more...AV I guess. It has issues but the basic idea behind it I like a lot. This won't really work until/unless they change the TR AV MAX as they're discussing, but at that point should work evenly across the empires. My idea is to add a 'jammer' missile which can be fired in secondary mode for each of the MAXs. The missile's themselves would be fairly large and take up a lot more inventory than the standard ammo boxes (perhaps 5 missiles rather than what is currently in the boxes). It would take a second to switch to secondary mode and a second to switch back. This would allow an AV MAX to fire a jammer on a vehicle, switch to standard shots and do some damage, trying to time a switch back to the jammer missile to keep the vehicle from firing on them. This would allow the MAX to only concern themselves with not getting run down (and with other vehicles, of course) and actually give a skilled player a chance of doing legitimate damage to any vehicle in the game.
The main issue I have with the idea is that I don't want the jammer missiles working on deployables. AV MAXs can mow through deployables fast enough without being able to destroy a bunch of mines at once and gimp all spits around a tower.

They need to be able to lock on anything bigger than an ATV. With or without jammer missles.

*edit*

Ground veh. only of course.

That sounds pretty cool...along with the jammer missile idea. Most of the time I see AV maxes shooting at infantry, not the vehicles(thats just me, who knows what is really going on)...this could really help the AV max out.

oooh, i hate that. Av maxes shooting infantry. I like the idea. AV Maxes should only be able to lock on to Ground Vehicles, but it also should have a dumbfire mode just for those desperate retreats when infantry gets alittle too close for comfort, not like it will kill infantry but it will make them duck for cover.
