I struggle to make the tank work well for me. The vehicle is too slow to really kite enemies, and the turret rotation speed is really slow, too. The only serious use I have found for it is to use the flamethrower to carve long, straight lines through dense forests with ease. Am I missing something? Is there some secret to using the tank that makes it more combat effective? Is it important to use one of the cannon ammo types in preference to the other? Tank speed, like all vehicles, is affected by fuel. So use decent fuel - solid fuel at a minimum, rocket or nuclear fuel if you have it. To be honest I've never gotten good results out of the tank cannon either and I never even bother building shells for it anymore. The machine gun was massively buffed a few patches ago it can mow down biters like there's no tomorrow with uranium rounds, but AP works good too. That's all secondary though. The tank's main attack is and has always been just running things over.

The nearest biters are super far away. Mod category: Content.

In other languages:. The artillery wagon is an end-game wagon mounting a rail cannon that can be added to a train. It fires artillery shells , relatively slow-moving projectiles that explore chunks of terrain they travel across. The wagon gun has both automatic and manual even longer-ranged firing modes. Projectiles have sufficient damage to destroy spawners and any type of worm with a single hit, and have a modest area of effect.

It's not clear from the album, but the entities also blocked my movement where they were packed most densely. Note, I only noticed these because they prevent building at their location, but if you were to somehow make it possible to build on top of these entities, that still wouldn't really solve the problem. The entities need to be cleaned up. The sound trigger entities persisted because their prototype was a SimpleEntity; changing it to Explosion apparently causes the entities to be destroyed after their animation and sound finish. Thanks a lot for the extensive bug report and provided fixes! I've integrated most of your patches and pushed a new version.

Projectiles have sufficient damage to destroy spawners and any type of worm with a single hit, and have a modest area of effect. Infinitely-stacking research upgrades are available for range and firing speed, but not damage. The artillery turret is essentially the same weapon, but deployed as a static structure like other turrets. Artillery wagons, like Artillery turrets, have a massive range, outranging non-Artillery fixed fortifications by a factor of 10 or more. In automatic mode, when the train is stopped, the artillery wagon will automatically scan for enemy structures spawners and worms and shoot at them. Automatic mode cannot target mobile units biters and spitters ; shells do, however, damage mobile units in the vicinity of impact normally.

Of course, I tend to drive my car into trees and rocks accidentally, so maybe I'm not the best example of how to effectively use tanks! If you want, add in some land mines. Log in. It appears your browser does not have it turned on. I tried the cannon shells once. Wait 30 seconds or a minute. The tank's main attack is and has always been just running things over. Internet Arcade Console Living Room. Also always use explosive shells with the tank, It's nice taking out a huge clump of nests or worms in 1 shot. I've not really bothered much with Uranium ammo, preferring to use Uranium for fuel. Once the repair bots are there, it just gets easier as the tank is auto-repaired. Especially when the enemy is far away.

.

Once they are dead I'll focus on the spitters and the biters. The only serious use I have found for it is to use the flamethrower to carve long, straight lines through dense forests with ease. Yeah it takes a while to get started. Images Donate icon An illustration of a heart shape Donate Ellipses icon An illustration of text ellipses. Books to Borrow Open Library. Put some personal laser defense turrets on your power armor and hop in the tank and you get a tank with laser point defense. Artillery wagons weigh as much as 4 regular wagons or 2 locomotives for the purposes of train acceleration calculations. And then the tank turns into a killing machine able to take out solid nest banks. Before you have uranium ammo, they are great. Are there nests nearby? Take your robotports out of your armor first though. It's actually really fast once you get good at it. Navigation menu Personal tools Log in Request account. In cleared, defended areas, however, they can reliably function as shell transport wagons. Manual fire can be ordered on unexplored areas; shells will explore all chunks they travel across but no surrounding chunks.
