Salt's Amazing Idea That Will Make Noricums Useful

I don't want 900m spirals.

tbf you wouldn't even feel them, they'd hardly do any damage to you.

what'd be advantageous is that it deals tremendous splash, so although nobody would be complaining about balance, it'd deal a good sum of damage collectively against groups.

I thinck thats bad idea.

Better keep them as they are but give them
EMP effect that Stuns target for few secounds.

Make it More like plasma EMP pulse when lands.

Disables enmy bots for few secounds. Inless they have a Ancile sheild.



It would make them effective tool in game then.

It would make it less anti-camper and more general purpose. I would have it fire like a pinata, and also make zenits fire like a pinata. Increase damage; for how rarely they hit they don't even do that much. Projectile speed is good enough to just kill campers and nothing else.

I am surprised that a Cossack pilot said this. You don't want a Norricum Patton 1- shotting your cossack right?

It would be kind of interesting if Noricums were homing and they could hit multiple campers at once with splash damage haha

Didn't ya hear, pix already added a stun effect in the game.... It's always active and you know you've been hit by it when you get a message that says "Return to Hangar"...

/End sarcasm

When I see a burst of artillery incoming, I just jump. Even if straight vertically, it negates all of the splash.

I could buy homing (as horrible as the idea sounds to me) *IF* it actually targeted campers. So in this hypothetical change, Noricums would have homing, but the homing would improve against targets moving at less than 30 and dramatically decrease (or even swerve away/detonate early) for faster targets.

You've clearly never seen noricums karate, they actually do ridiculous damage if they all hit. What makes them crap is one or two hit. If you had a noricums Patton it would instant kill a lot of bots

To protect you, as your are running and hiding with your level 1 Patton with 4 of them?

Crap, I have got to get new comedy writer's. they are really letting me down lately.

Noricums should be redesigned as an anti-missile system. Grant it one 35 degrees air burst every 5 seconds. It would be ineffective vs rockets due to their low flight angle unless the rockets are fired from a higher elevation. This would not be an auto target item. It would require you to face the missile salvo and time the air burst. It would counter BRB spammers but would see limited usefulness vs bots firing single volleys or staggered missile systems. Base damage 4K with a thunder like spread. Placed in a low light hardpoint, the burst could hit tall mechs or mechs at a higher elevation.

 I really like the first part of this. It would be cool to have a defensive anti-missle system out there, and hitting mechs at higher elevations would be good on a couple maps. Interesting idea.
