Future of the War Robots

I would like or I wish for . . .
Supply drops on the battle field, some silver/gold/wsp/hp.
The option to buy extended time (not team health), in the last min 5 gold buys 1 extra min.
A rear view mirror, so pilots stop walking into my line of fire blocking 80% of my orkan burst.
Skins that make sense instead of a fox for a Boa,croc for a Gepard (lepard in german).
Skins that to some extend include the weapons.
See the hp of my team mates instead of the enemy. Fog of war, makes sense and should stop certain players for going after easy kills.
Challenge mode, invite a player (like in squad) but be placed on opposite sides.
See the level of the weapons on the bots that are not in my hangar. Just a little number would do.
And new maps are always welcome.
Multiple hangar slots.

Game needs more robot dynamics. I like cool weapons as much as anybody, but the arms/armor race will get boring. Having robots that can dodge, selectively hide , make calculated sudden movements, etc. would add to the strategy component of the game. I think it would fit well with their theme based robot development.

I would like...a war! Back on the Xbox 360 there was a mech game called Chromehounds. More customization for the mechs but battles were generally the same. you won by either killing your ememies, blowing up their base, or controlong the most Communication towers when time ran out.

However, there was a larger layer on top of this. There were 3 countries at was with each other. You picked a side to fight on and each map was a battle field. If ones side won enough fights on a battlefield, that field was won. A new map was opened and accessible and the winner was one step closer to capturing the other side's capital. If a side lost it's capital, they could only fight battles there until they fought their As your or threat ended. I started playing at was 20 and the game was on war 80something 2 years later when the server shutdown.

I want something like that where we pick a side and our victories help progress the was further. Of course this would also mean a lot more maps.

This is almost what I have been thinking for a while now. My variation to this would be new type of weapon which fires 2-phase bullets. When fired and bullet hits physical shield, it detonates first phase which causes damage to the shield and second phase with detonation causes damage to the robot. While it is basic firearm it's 2-phase detonation could damage also Ancile type shielded robots. First phase interferes shield with explosion and second phase causes damage to robot. I'm assuming that first phase creates full damage to shields (physical or Ancile) and second phase only - let's say - about 30% of maximum.

Main purpose for these are to be against physical shield robots.

But this is endless loop: new robots - new weapons against them - new robots against previous new weapons ... and so on Something better should be invent!

Something I would like but would require too much re-coding:


Instead of just a flat upgrade to bots/weapons (level 1, 2, 3 etc) make different components. For example, different armor plates. Heavier armor you can slug it out more but slows your bot down. Lighter armor, faster movement but more fragile. Want to use Plasma weapons? How about having to install a fusion core. Like bullets instead? Larger ammo capacity, or better cooling fins. Better items could be made through Gold/WSP.



Just wishful thinking.

So this is my first post. I've been following the forum for months, but this is the first place that I have really wanted to bring in some input. Here are some things that I would like to see (many have already been mentioned, but I just want to "second" their thoughts):

- More maps - maybe some with major elevation changes, with the center beacon at the bottom of a valley or something (easy to hit from everywhere). Maybe a map with water, like a river that divides the map, which would slow down the bots to travel through - making "jump" a big plus. Maybe put the center beacon on a small island in the middle of the river.

- Customized bots - I grew up playing ALL of the "Armored Core" games (on the original play station), and it was by far my favorite game. What I liked was being able to make my own robots - more customization than War Robots, IMO. I would like there to be an option to choose number and size of weapon slots, their locations on the rig, the speed of the rig, etc. Armored core balanced the play by having "faster legs" only able to hold a lower amount of weight (i.e., less or lighter weapons) and would be more vulnerable. Slower/stronger legs can then hold more weapons and would add more protection. Add native energy or Ecu shields options. The more/better options that you choose, the more Au/WSP that would be required. I know that this may not be realistic, but I can dream.

- A "flying" bot (e.g., short-duration rocket pack) - like the jump, but more maneuverable in the air and longer distance. This was another aspect of Armored Core that I loved. Would likely need to be a light bot similar to the stalker.

- 1 vs. 1 matches. You just pit 1, 2, or even 3 of your own bots vs. the same number from someone else. Would need to be from the same league (as Pix announced today). make it worth Au only (5 Au or nothing each match - no Ag). Maybe allow also allow players to challenge other specific players - like clan members challenging each other, or me challenging a personal friend that also plays the game. - The only problem that I see with personal challenges is people challenging each other to quickly gain Au for each other (one person throwing the match for the other ones benefit) - but making it Au/Ag/WSP bets instead of "free" Au may help with that.

- Maybe a new game mode where there are six players randomly spawned in different locations, and the game is everyone vs everyone with no beacons. Every minute the player that has done the least amount of damage gets eliminated - similar to racing games where the car in last place occasionally gets eliminated. Then the one player that lasts the longest (or doesn't run out of bots - though I hope that most can make it though a 5-6 minute melee) gets 8ish Au and the second place gets 3ish Au (Ag rewards based on damage for everyone else, similar to normal matches).

I don't know. These are just thoughts that I have had on and off since playing the game the last 6 months or so.

Then a stalker vs a stalker. That's skill.
Besides, I'm not so sure stalker can always win on a 1-1 with say, Gareth. That too is skill.


Also, in a 1 vs 1, it doesn't necessary need to be 5 slots. Doesn't necessary has to be 5 beacons (maybe 3?), and a smaller map ofc.

So my biggest concern is upgrades please make it so each robot slot you have you can upgrade and when rhe robot is upgrading it cant be changed from line up so you better like your line up

I think a heat and limited ammo system similar to Mechwarrior would be beneficial to overall game balance and not be much of a burden on the system.

Heat would automatically cool down slowly and you would have to refill ammo at a friendly beacon(You will have to wait at a beacon for a certain amount of time, say 5-10 seconds? Would also put more emphasis on beacon capping.).

For example:
Plasma: High damage, very high heat gen, unlimited ammo
Laser: Low-Medium damage, unlimited ammo, medium heat gen
Rockets: High damage, low heat gen, very low ammo count
Machine guns: Medium damage, low heat gen, very high ammo count
Long range cannons: Low damage, medium heat gen, medium ammo count
Thunder: Very High damage, high heat gen, low ammo count
Missiles: Low damage, low heat gen, medium ammo count

What ? ? ? 
That is 1 of 2 ways to win dude !

I'm sorry, but I think above quote has an error - I haven't write that quoted text earlier in this thread.

And actually I play War Robots only with pc through MEmu emulator ! Aiming with mouse is more accurate in my opinion.

lol no. Maybe on android. Damage does not influence the beacon bar in the slightest.

I also grew up playing Armored Core and in later versions of that game they had bot cores that had built in missile defense. It didn't get all the missiles but quite a few. Maybe we could get that as a 'weapon' in which a laser or CIWS type phalanx gun shoots off automatically destroying some missiles. Useful when faced with Gepards, Leos and Pattons coming with all Aphids. I personally use a FuJin with 3 Hydras and fire one pod at a time so it's continuous fire. A missile intercept system would make me fire all at once to insure some got through.
I would also love to see a heavy weapon that fired fuel airburst rockets or thermobaric type rockets.
For the Molot heavy I think the APEX rounds that Saab developed IRL would be amazing. These rounds contain armor piercing, incendiary, and high explosives into one round. The Molot is essentially a 25mm chain gun anyway.
I saw earlier someone said a 2 stage bullet like a Raufoss round used in .50 caliber bullets. That also would work.
The Mk2 Molot and Punishers should fire different rounds than single guns. Or make the single guns have the better rounds. With the introduction of the Brit bots, gunfighter like me need better weapons to crack those shields.Tridents work ok on the lower 2, but a Lancelot or Lancile configured bot is nearly impossible.
