Title: Inferno bombs
Post by: CT27 on February 03, 2013, 10:37:29 pm: I looked at one of the old Inferno tech documents and it said there was something called an "Armageddon bomb" and said it was the most powerful GTVA bomb in existence basically. Is that weapon going to be in the new Inferno?

Post by: aeon48m on February 06, 2013, 03:47:55 am: The Armageddon has a velocity of 40, a fire wait of 30, a mass of -650000, deals 56000 damage, has a minimum lock time of 10 seconds, and has a lifetime of 60 seconds.

The Armageddon also does more damage than the BFBlue, with the BFBlue only managing 48400 damage.

Now I know why people say INFR1 had overpowered weapons.

Post by: CT27 on February 06, 2013, 02:41:54 pm: IIRC, it was described as a mini-black hole.

Well that explains the negative mass.

It didn't actually work as indended though.
Doesn't matter now anyway since the bomb was removed a few years ago.

It was intended as an anti-juggernaut weapon, after all.

Post by: yuezhi on February 07, 2013, 05:29:04 pm: i naively assume anti-matter does.

Post by: Phantom Hoover on February 07, 2013, 05:31:16 pm: It doesn't. Negative mass is a purely hypothetical thing.

Yeah but mass in FS table files determine the kinetic force of weapons. It would seem logical that giving a weapon a negative mass would make it pull targets in, though apparently it didn't work as intended.

EDIT: Oh and

Title: Re: Inferno bombs
Post by: Woomeister on June 15, 2013, 04:29:00 am: Yes, but it's the most powerful Terran bomb now. The EA and Vasudans have unique equivalents of this level of bomb.
Title: Re: Inferno bombs
Post by: CT27 on July 19, 2013, 12:48:19 am: IIRC the most powerful EA bomb was called Hellstorm, has the Vasudan equivalent name been revealed yet?

But we need the Vasudans to help defeat the EA/Shivans in Inferno and to defeat the UEF in BP.

The most powerful EA bomb is the Hellfire-X
The Vasudans most powerful is the Djinn
