Longstreet Startup Guide

Post by Tisx » 20 May 2018, 11:39

NOTE: This guide is not a operation guide, for that go to XSlayer's guide here: viewtopic.php?f=94&t=17262 or the wiki.

So, you walk up to your tank and....

MAN OH MAN. WOW. The cargo system did a fucking number on that thing, make sure after this OP to give the CTs and RO a piece of your fucking mind, but for now you want to be on their good side. I'll explain later

Well. first thing's first.

Call the MTs

Now, the MTs aren't your slaves, (though many will act like slaves, as they can't stay away from that tank, they love it to much.) so don't nag them to come fix your tanks 3 seconds after they wake up, they have their own shit to worry about as well.

Your tank has 3 replacement modules to start out with, they are,

LTB Cannon
Concussive Armor
and replacement treads

While the MTs are repairing your tank, you should make for the RO.

Second,

GET FUCKING AMMO FOR YOUR MAIN GUN.

You don't start out with ammo, so, unless you want to be a useless moving brick, you need to get ammo for your main gun. to get said ammo, go nag the RO,
The ammo only costs about 30 points so they shouldn't give much trouble for it.

Once you have cannon ammo your tank is now ready for combat.

Now for the third optional step,

Getting modules from the RO

Now you are not entitled to these modules, and these modules cost a ton of points, so the RO can tell you fuck right off. This is why you want to be on the ROs good side.

Once you have done all of these steps your tank will be ready for combat. Now give them hell!

INCORRECT. The tanks true purpose is to be mobile cover and running over Benomorphs.

> Implying tank crew only uses cannon

On a serious note, good guide you made up.

In my round as tank crew yesterday, Misner and I went full snowflake tank with the minigun. Currently the minigun doesn't have buyable ammo as of this reply, but for people out there seeking to use it...
The AP Minigun works and it works lovely, however I do not know how much ammo it has per "mag?" and there is no way (yet) to buy AP minigun ammo. I also heard from a more senior staff member that the minigun can be chambered with normal rounds however I never tested that so don't quote me on that.
We also got the Flamer attachment and let me tell you this. THAT fires more like a cannon than a flamer. It shoots a round ball of fire.

The cannon starts out with a full load.

It just doesn't come with spare rounds.
