Tank Traps

[TopHatPenguin]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Have engineers be able to create Tank Traps from metal or potentially concrete *New material maybe* but most likely metal.
When created these Tank Traps will block a Crushers momentum charge and will need to be slashed or melted.
They can be shot over/Spat over.
"It is passable (acts like sticky resin to anyone that tries to walk over it)." - Jroinc's good idea

Images for visual representation.



Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Tank Traps for stopping Drifting Crushers.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Pretty much covered in the summary.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding and a few new sprites.

Yes, right now theres not really any way to stop crushers, so it would be a good thing to have, also, when are they gonna fucking add sandbags!

+1

[Mook476]

+1 The Unicorn of Justice said it and I also think it'll be a nice neat addition

[Jroinc1]

Hmm. +1 with the following changes.
It blocks a crusher's momentum, but is passable (acts like sticky resin to anyone that tries to walk over it).
I can see it slowing ayys, but not stopping them.

[Derpislav]

+1 if still passable. Perhaps you'd have to climb them like a table if marine? I don't really see how they would slow down T1-T2 xenos, though. Carrier is T3 in my head. Slow the fuck out of the carriers.

[TopHatPenguin]

Bump.

More engineer constructions, who could say no?

[Wubs4Scrubs]

+1

I love me a stunned crusher.

[Reuben Owen]

can the crusher still walk over them?

[TopHatPenguin]

can the crusher still walk over them?

It's passable and acts effectively like sticky resin for T3's and blocks a momentum charge from a crusher.

[NoahKirchner]

+1 so snype doesnt kill it

[nerocavalier]

-1 because Noah supports it.

+1 because Engies could use some more love.

[Kiroking]

+1 because lets stop the crusher charging from the other side of the map.

[Jroinc1]

Bump.
SOMETHING is desperately needed to stop the 6 crusher meme.

[TheDonkified]

+1 please. This is seriously needed now considering how powerful crushers are, especially with the constant cycle of ramming into the marines and then ramming out to safety.

[Feweh]

Are you guys crazy?
Do you know how long and difficult it is to set up a fucking tank trap.

[outordinary]

You serious? As if plasteel barricades weren't enough, you want fucking concrete tank traps? -1 all the way home.

[Karmac]

I'll +1 it if it stops runners too.

[TheUnicornOfJustice]

They would use metal and would be like tables but you put infront of the main defenses, plasteel is too scarce, these would be much better to make a lot of.

From the pictures posted, those are Czeech hedgehogs and Dragon's Teeth.

Dragon's teeth is preety hard.
Czeech hedgehog?
Not so much

Really it just depends what tank trap we doing here that can stop what i assume is a tank that has nearly the same speed as modern tanks nowdays.

(Also weren't you a fireman? when did you guys used tank traps?)

Last week to brace a flood waĺl

[Rustarus]

I gotta +1 this. Though, I think it might be somewhat... hard to make it visually into CM, it could be pretty cool. Lets be honest Feweh, do you REALLY think a fucking bandage and a syringe can heal a gaping wound in minutes? Not everything has to be very realistic

[driecg36]

+1, would help the crusher meta

Also feweh, I dont know many people who can build a wall or a metal table in seconds with no tools, i dont think realism is a concern here.

[Symbiosis]

Call it Pikes, then.

Spear wall! Make it buildable from WOOD and destroyed in one slash. Impacting roots the target for 2-3 seconds and causes damage.

[Nick123q23]

Czech Hedgehogs literally only take two pieces of metal and a welder to make.

It's not impossible to make them in the field. Crushers need somekind of countermeasure badly lately, +1

It doesn't, but the bandages are actually 2 feet long.
