I'm wondering if the Vasudans will have any interesting weapons.

I am also not sure about the pulse weapon firing sound, it is not that audible, in contrast of the UEF PDS autocannons and gattler turrets which have that scary DAKKA DAKKA sound.
I feel it to be the exact opposite, the PDS and Cavalier sound extremely unintimidating.
Gattler on the other hand, has an aggressive sound.

That I have to agree. At least sound wise, the PDS turrets have good sound. They just need to be louder somehow.

The Zod pulse weapons (looked) kinda anemic as well.

Pulse weapons really are a great replacement for flak, but they should look like it too.

Despite how stupid it would probably be for the UEF to commit one of their destroyers this way, I would love to see a Solaris duke it out with the Atreus.

On a side note, longtime lurker, first time poster, and I have to say, you guys really out did yourselves with WiH. I was floored my first time through. Keep it up.

Flak · **Reply #1064 on:** February 12, 2011, 03:25:00 am

In the canon at least, Admiral Calder actually did that before (LEEEEROOOOOOY) and the Toutatis get heavy damage as a result, well at least it is safe to assume the Atreus was escorted in similar way as in Artemis Station prologue.

Mars · **Reply #1065 on:** February 12, 2011, 03:27:21 am

The Solaris would win. . . by quite a margin.

I could see that happening if the Atreus was mostly disarmed and disabled, but it sounds like a pretty lame way to kill Steele.

On the other hand, I believe Serkr can destroy the Solaris class in one volley. That might be a fast way of losing an admiral + a Solaris, but it would be an impressive one.

PsychoLandlord · **Reply #1066 on:** February 12, 2011, 03:33:38 am

I kind of assumed Steel would have some kind of contingency involving SUDDENLY GTVA FLEET if he actually engaged a Solaris. Somehow I cant see him agreeing to an honorable duel or being jumped by an asset like that. But Meh. Also, I never really checked it out too closely, but doesn't the Atreus have all sorts of upgraded weaponry that kinda nullifies the Solaris' Apoc Spam?

Mars · **Reply #1067 on:** February 12, 2011, 03:44:01 am

Well, in every mission it's appeared in, it's just a stock Raynor (with BALLS OF STEELE AI). There's nothing concrete that says that the Atreus is any different than the Orestes, other than a new subspace drive.

That said Serkr appears to just be stock Chimeras and a Bellerophon. And we know for a fact they're supposed to have upgraded weapons and armor.

It is considered a testbed for new technology. My guess is that if the 15th is intended as an anti-Sathanas strikeforce (as is hinted several times) the flagship of the 15th is likely to have something pretty impressive up its sleeve.

Oh, as for I want in the rest of War in Heaven. . . I want some type of medal for killing all the GEFs in Deals in Shadows.

MatthTheGeek · **Reply #1069 on:** February 12, 2011, 06:01:53 am

Well, I guess that overcharging stock blue beams would lead to interesting results enough to not need any kind of special weaponry. And for the rest of the armament, Pulse turrets are OP enough as-is.

crizza · **Reply #1070 on:** February 12, 2011, 07:26:11 am

What I don't get...the Raynor is a ship, capable to fire beams at almost any angle...but

, the most firepower comes from a HBlue and BBlue situated at the prow...
The Titan, although being a carrier has three prow mounted beams...so theoreticaly a Titan should bring more firepower to bear...
Another point are the turrets...
I associate something like UEF mass driver or gaus cannons with such turrets an not pulse weapons or flak...pretty like the late Iowa class...big long range turrets and beams to finish anything which dares to approach.

General Battuta · **Reply #1071 on:** February 12, 2011, 08:08:01 am

The Raynor's pulse cannons do significantly more DPS than most of the UEF mass driver or gauss cannon types, I believe. Better than some beams too. Remember that they can shoot at fighters and bombers!

Anyway, just ctrl-clicking a Raynor down in FRED won't provide a fair matchup with a Solaris. If that duel ever does happen, you'll get an idea of the Atreus' true power - there'll definitely be armor, turret armor, damage control and a lot of FRED-side electronic warfare and other abilities.

Your posts haven't been edited. That retarded smiley just appears every time anyone says "infact" or "alot". I assume it's someone's idea of being funny.

Back on topic, I think it's quite clear a Steele / Calder duel will happen at some point in WiH (and by extension the Toutatis and Atreus will have to be involved).

The forum does that automatically, nobody's got it in for you.

Yes, but they don't have the huge flag, which means that they will do less damage than your average Mass Driver against things larger than a cruiser.

Errr... The flag doesn't change damage dealt in any way. It just stops the weapon from killing ships larger than cruisers by ignoring damage done if hull strength is at 10% or lower. The weapon still deals full damage above 10% threshold.

That only kicks in at or below 10%.

No, or at least not in SCP. There is some logarithm trickery involved. Ask coders.
