[Suggestion] Macro Flamer Tank (and hover tank)
« on: February 20, 2020, 07:42:33 pm »
Since I saw the Macro Flamer I wonder if we couldn't mount a macro Flamer on a tank (not a tank but a tank, I was so sad when I realized that the tank was a tank and not a tank) or hover tank once the macro flamer (and unconventional weapons) is researched. Needed a macro flamer as part.

I haven't checked all units or armors but is there a way to use it on our units ?

A sectopod version too ?

Yes, it can be done. It's actually on my to-do list.

Flame tanks? Hell yes! Especially if they do actual damage instead of just damage-over-time.

I hope we get a funny staff report about this about how your science lead tries to justify deploying such an hilariously illegal and inhuman weapon in the field.

Maybe Flamer tank can be unusable against human faction missions and (with a big penalty with killing civilians with it on other missions). I want to use them mostly on my hovertank in zombie casle missions by the way.

I can't really make such a distinction (in theory yes, in practice no). Considering you already have access to all sorts of vile stuff, it will remain X-Com Commander's responsibility to use them humanely. ;)
