Heavy piercing weapon
« on: May 11, 2013, 06:54:37 pm »
So, we have a bigger version of a Flak gun, A Mortar (more or less), a cannonade and finally a Artimetis, but what about a bigger version of the Gatling?

I've been saying this for months, we need more piercing weapons, and a medium gun would be *perfect*. There's a double barreled carronade, why not a double barreled gattling?

I also agree the variety on piercing is lacking. I would love some large weapon that fired a bunch of fast projectiles in a burst. Kind of like a burst assault rifle. Wonder how that could fit into WWI level tech.

It's worth pointing out we don't have any guns that have an AoE pierce value. It would be kind of cool if a gun did direct damage shatter with a AoE pierce affect, or even direct damage flechette with AoE piercing, so you'd want to aim for the lower part of the balloon so it splashes onto the armor.

My god could you imagine?  Pop the balloon, strip the armor, and then ram them into the ground?

hehe, I was thinking a burst type gun with piercing and shatter, since those two damage types are lacking a bit in the heavy weapons department.

Sounds awesome

Ah Squash, your right on the shatter with the lumberjack,the heavy cannonade and the Hwatcha has good shatter as well, but the only two heavy damage types missing is fire, and piercing, so a heavy flamethrower may or may not be introduced later.

and given that most heavy weapons have shatter, might as well give the heavy gat shatter In my opinion.

Makes sense in that the light gat has shatter as well.
