Experimental Doomsday Machine/Annihilator

Postby TestPlay » 07 Dec 2012, 07:21

For those of you who still remember these amazingly devastating weapons in TA...what if it could be brought back in FA?

Yes, anybody will say that it is easier to turtle, but if this weapon has a long preparation time (to fire), relatively huge cost (experimental level), uses a huge energy drain to fire (as in TA)...then it would be worth getting?

Assuming that the cost of a T3 artillery installation (the cost of 4 spider-bots) is reduced, it could be a possible counter to this weapon? Or even by T3 air?

Mmm...I really don't know, but the Annihilator and the Doomsday Machine were just awesome in TA. Just an idea that came across my mind for more strategy in game-play, for an awesome game in FA...

Do you have screens with doomsday ?

I remember the annihilator (but from what i remember it was not a game ender, just a epic defense turret), I remember the bertha and the vulcan (epic canon lol) but doomsday, no memories.

The krogoth was the deal seriously ! Jeez I never managed to finish the Korgoth mission on the TACTICS add-on :(


Talking about TA, Can someone tell me what was the use of the targeting facility. It was super expensive and I never understood what it changed really. :roll:

the targeting device would let your units shoot at radar dots automatically, without it you would have to tell your units to do so manually or they would shoot at anything covered by fog of war.

Doomsday was the CORE version of the ARM Annihilator.
Not entirely game ending.
Are you talking about some of the UTASP units, such as the Karganeth?

Mmm...I am not too sure about the Krogoth units. But other than the Doomsday Machine and Annihilator, FA has pretty much got everything (maybe some balancing would be good).

If only we can get the chance to build one of these awesome weapons once again... :)

The Aeon Rapid-fire Artillery is functionally very similar to the Buzzsaw from TA. The Doomsday Machine as I remember was just a high-DPS turret, so functionally very similar to the UEF Ravager?
