You want a piece of me, boy?

fuck CORE

Are you guys coming to my next barbecue?

>>719000810 (OP)
It's called artillery. It can fire at higher angle to overcome obstructions. Of course, you can only do this if you have something else providing reconaissance of the target on the other side of the obstruction. This is also modelled in StarCraft. What are you complaining about?

I'm about to drop the hammer

>>719004697
and dispense some indiscriminate justice

>>719000810 (OP)
Sounds good until the CPU enemy micromanages the 47 units attacking you to kite your fire, uses terrain as shield against your physics bullets and abuses fog of war visibility he is not subjected to.
Only way to sidestep that bullshit is to only use artillery, nukes and aircraft.

>dark swarm is a big dark cloud that makes ranged weapons miss because you can't see your target
>oh, also artillery and explosives like tanks also miss 100% of the time

>>719000810 (OP)
You are aware, right, that artillery is designed to arc their shots like that so they can hit targets without having a direct line of sight?

Why did you bother writing this garbage when you know it's not true.

>>719000810 (OP)
The better game would be the top but it slowly destroys the hill.

>>719000810 (OP)
Since this thread is a repost ill repost my opinion.
Total anihilation and its sequals barely do anything fun with projectiles.
Myth was the only rts series where simulated projectiles actually mattered and felt significant.

>>719007365
What about AOE2? You can dodge arrows and catapult shots.

>>719006694
What's that, an energy shield?

>>719000810 (OP)
its a videogame
go to ukraine if you want realism

>>719008395
Oh, and it has hill bonus stuff as well.

>>719008494
A 45 degree line.

>>719005283
splash damage still applies under dark swarm retard

>>719008507
>strawman

>>719008523
But what does it represent

>>719008709
That a projectile fired from 45 degrees can't hit the target.

>>719001058
but its my favorite vidya song :(

>>719001161
In this scenario only mortar and rockets would be able to hit the target

>>719008752
Why would you do that? People said to arc it from above, not tangentially skip it off the nearest hill

>>719008880
If you increase the angle, then the artillery piece would have to move closer. Static artillery also don't have the option of changing their position to fix the trajectory.

>>719008395
Its not just about dodging damage. Its about the sense of impact.

Dwarven molotovs, warlock fireballs, and the occasional fire arrows had more impact and variance then anything in modern rts.

Are you people really unaware of what a howitzer is?

>>719009113
>Okay, yes, those other games have the exact mechanic I'm describing
>But I don't have muh nostalgia for those!!
Embarrassing

>>719009206
a howwitzwhat?

>>719009259
They really dont. Have you played myth before?
Rts games dont have units like dwarves.

>>719008784
Plunging machine gun fire is a thing. It's just not commonly done unless you're an aussie.

>>719009206
A howitzer doesn't defy the laws of physics.

>>719000810 (OP)
Such a shame that guided artillery rounds like M982 Excalibur are beyond impossible.
FTL travel, psionic BS, cloaking? Sure.
Some processors and fins on a shell? It's beyond reach of the known engineering

>>719000810 (OP)
>Only realised halfway through the ARM campaign that I was playing on -1 speed and I could turn it up in game
Well shucks, the game is cool now I can speed up the first 10 minutes of base building

>>719010761
Guided artillery rounds are weaker and slower than ballistic artillery. They also emit a larger heat signature which makes it easier for countermeasures to intercept them.

>>719000810 (OP)
Just because you drew it like that, does not mean that a starcraft tank can't lob a shell over the cliffside by aiming in an arc.

Not from this angle lol

The /v/tard is incapable of comprehending parabolic trajectories

>>719000810 (OP)
I'd like to see a RTS in the Warhammer setting with the basebuilding of an old C&C title, physics like Deserts of Kharak, scale of a Total War title and a campaign that combines the best elements of DoW:DC/SS, Total War: Warhammer and C&C campaigns.

>>719011653
What could you expect from someone that spends all day practicing micro in a MOBA.

After all, a Starcrafter is just a MOBA player with a higher APM.
