Othuum Siege Tank /w Chain-Lightning

[Resin_Smoker]

As requested, here is the Othuum with a continuous beam of chain lightning. Please note that this can be scaled as needed for balancing by simply adjusting the units blueprint.

Granted that my first reaction was WHAT!
I would say job well done.

this might actualy balance things out.

That looks OP, no other single t3 unit in game can dish out so much damage to multiple units.
And now imagine you have an army of these tanks... only thing they need is to get closer and then vaporize everything on their way

That's pretty cool. Reminds me a lot of the PD.

Maybe I'm just newb-y, but is there any context for this change/mod? Was it just to make it look cooler, or to solve something?

Yeah, I just added the new weapon and will leave it for Icedreamer to balance out as he pleases.

Maybe the turret turn speed should be reduced.

Maybe the turret turn speed should be reduced.

The fact that it vaporizes 200 mantis in a few seconds might also need some tweaking.

As with all beam weapons this does its damage every preset interval as set via the units blueprint. Now where this differs is per example 300 damage, this is applied the the first unit impacted, 150 the the first unit the beam forks to, and 100 to the last unit. Hence this take place each take the beam does damage! The reality is that the true damage is output is 550 not 300... Now if I recall correctly the current BP setting for damage is 800, with all three chains doing over 1400 combined per damage pulse.

I definitely had in mind individual, infrequent bolts, not a continuous thing...
