Adara was actually made for a bunch of folks who hated the original. I tore hits heart out and replaced it with one that belonged to the whore of Babylon so I can see how it may not get a welcome reception. If the original Adara serves your purposes here then I reckon you should drop the Gorz version.
Maelsev - I love that map. The point of it is mayhem, quick comebacks and all round action.
Tankme... Dudes? Whats the verdict? Getting conflicting messages here.... I think I have an idea....
What about 2 versions? The current one, and a toned down verson? If you run them both then people will get to vote a tank me map twice as often but they will both still be different. Anyone think its a goodsie plan?

I think it sounds like a good idear, Gorz. Any way you can tweak the Hammerheads to carry an extra guy or two? Maybe someone with an anti-personnel turret? I think if the Hammerheads were tweaked it would make the map a little different, faster traffic upfield, different tank attack patterns, etc.

Tankmeup could really switch the Hammerheads out for Cicadas. Dunno 'bout you other Cicada whores :drunken: (dunno if I'm alone here) but Cicadas are all around better than Hammerheads. They have the same health, but Cicadas are easier to maneuver, shoot down instead of forward, and has gunners to take out people/tanks/nodes/other Cicadas/AVRiL missles. I prefer them much more.

I, for one, like TankMeUp the way it is. Minotaurs and Hammerheads included.
That being said, the Hammerheads could use some improvement. Making it a two-person vehicle would be great. The primary fire needs a bigger cone of fire, and the secondary fire needs to be replaced with something useful.

But a cicada isn't a tank silly!

I think replacing a hammerhead with one cicada is a good idea. If you are down, and need to comeback, what you really need is a vehicle that can get over the the ion tank nodes and take them out. It's too difficult with the hammerhead. I think cicadas would extend the playing time on the map. They are almost as suceptable to shock, so I don't think one would unbalance the map any.
And the people have spoken. The mini stays :drunken:

I've got to agree with Bryan. The map is called TankMeUp for a reason. Every vehicle there is some sort of "tank," be it flying, on treads or on wheels. I think that no Cicadas should be added, but give the Hammerhead a few of the Cicada's abilities.

Well i dont know know about cone of fire, that implies to a less accurate weapons. I think he means the improve its aiming ability so i can acutally aim it with having to point a vehicle in a certain matter.
The gunner just needs to fire some machine gun fire like the alt on the hammerhead. Be a bit more powerful, and definitly make a louder sound so i know the damn thing is working. With the range of motion of the mg turret i wouldnt have cicada flares.

Cicadas are sorta tanks.. albeit flying... and having the ability to hold a gunner that can decoy missles. Kinda. Bomber, tank, big dif. :blackeye:
