guess it's time for me to show off my monsters.
(also, and I tried this, with the glitch above you can hide all your guns inside your tank and fire them out. It's beautiful)
So here's my t5, the Fortress of Arrogance. It's named after
this.
This thing is a monster. Quick, Plenty of firepower, just a machine of murder. It's fully symmetrical, so everything you see on the left is the same on the right, so I don't have to tell you how many guns or what kinds I have. Between the highest blue armor block and the pilot chair which is underneath the biggest gun, is about 7 blocks of armor-y goodness. The armor on the sides is not as thick, obviously, but I rarely get attacked from the back or sides, so that's not an issue.
I like to call this thing here, 'ONYD Armor'. It stands for Oh-No-You-Don't, and it's made to keep the guns on the side from being shot off for as long as possible. See, when people aim at my sides, they don't tend to aim too precisely (unless it's a railgun) so they shoot mostly underneath my guns. So they shoot at this little contraption, the blocks explode, and all the run-off damage is funneled away from the platform the guns are on.
More ONYD Armor. This time, instead of funneling damage away, it funnels it downwards. Just a last defense sort of thing.
As a whole, this thing is more assault than defense. It can take and deal damage well, but I've tried to focus more on tha shooty bitz.
However, I did make another tank that goes the opposite direction.
This is the Predator Fornicator. Ignore the accidental t4, I fixed that after I took the screenshot. This, while it does have plenty of firepower, is for defense and absolutely tanking damage, and it works as intended.
Where my cursor is pointing at is approximately where the pilot seat is. It's under 2+ blocks of green, 7-10 from the front, 4 from the back, and 3-4 from the sides. Mr. Pilot Person ain't dying anytime soon.
I'd like to call this contraption the Maw. It's sort of a grille made of some triangle pieces and some blocks, and it completely negates most damage. When shot, the extra damage funnels all the way down to the base of the tank, "where not much is going on", so that 1 railgun shot or however many SMG's shot that hits the Maw, is a shot that is completely wasted and does barely any damage to my bot as a whole. And even if that wall is gone, which it goes away pretty fast, there's still 5x7x4 blocks of green to get through (if attacking from the front) before my pilot starts worrying.
Not amazing on the damage front. It'll deal it, but with only 4 L4's and an L6, it can only do so much. And because I don't have all the redundant, expendable weapons that the Arrogance has, the guns have a tendancy to all get shot off.
But that doesn't matter, because even with the guns shot off and 75% of my hull with like 3 wheels, I'm still perfectly mobile and can dash to go capture, even while being chased down and shot at constantly.
So yeah.
