Hello,
I have a great idea about a new gun (or selection of them) that could be added to that game. I understand that the Striker turret has been recently added into the game however I do believe my idea is worth a consideration.
My idea would be for a turret called Thunder DXT M3 (or Ricochet DXT/ Vulcan DXT/ Twins DXT) which will be short for Thunder DroneXT. It will be a normal XT weapon which can be mounted on any hull and can built drones, like laying mines, in the area infront of the tank and will have the same turret as your tank.
The drones will not be able to move and you will be able to built a maximum of four drones. Each time you build a drone, your turret damage will decrease, for example the first drone will do 1/4 the normal damage and your turret will do 3/4, then for two drones each will do 1/6 damage and yours will do 2/3, for three drones each will do 1/6 damage and yours will do 1/2, finally for 4 drones each will do 1/8 damage and yours will do 1/2.
These are only my ideas and can be changed to suit game balances. I think my idea should be availiable to the rank Marshal and above for 500k crystals but also requires premmium pass to buy. There won't need to be any new resistences made as a resistence of 20% against thunder should be possible to use against a drone thunder. I think my idea is worthy because it allow players to place drones in places like bushes and behind buildings to aid themselves or their team. It is also fair as each time a drone is placed your damage and the drones will always total the original damage of the gun. The drone hitpoints should be half your hulls hitpoints otherwise they will be too weak and if your tank's hitpoints decrease then your tank may be too weak. When you place a drone there should be mini screen which shows the view of the drone. There will be for screens on each corner representing all four drones at once maximum, these screens should be dragable to anywhere in the browser but this may be a problem in mouse controls mode. The drones will regularly scan the area, when an enemy comes into close enough range and is hittable i.e. not behind an obstacle, the drone will open fire. When you die or self destruct your drone will not. A drone will be equipped with the same power ups as long as you have them, these will only be for the health box, double damage and double armour. The drones will be half the size of wasp not including the turret. A drone should take 5 seconds to build and you will be able to build drones as long as you haven't reached the maximum and there are no other drones in construction. Drones can be damage or killed when being constructed. If there are multiple enemies in the drone's range, it will target the closest possible enemy. Drones will be able to target other drones as long as they are not on the same team. Drones will be able to self inflict damage but not for vulcan as this would make it too weak. Firebird and Freeze should have their freezing and burning effects on the drones and Isidas on the same team as the owner of a drone will be able to heal them. Micro-upgrades will affect drones including alterations. You will not be able to damage your own drones or self destruct them. A drone will have the same resistance as you have equipped and also the same paints. Drones must be placed on a flat surface of the map and not on pipes,in flag range, ramps/slopes and power up box spawns (although this may be an exception on maps like Massacre).
I hope you like my idea. Give it a like of you would like these turrets to be implemented into the game and I hope this will have a chance in turning into an great update. Thank you all.
