GDI had funding cut so they had to make the armour from paper.

In real life humvees dont have much armor, The US Army is actually thinking about upgrading the armor on the doors and other parts i actually have a link to the news cast on army's news channel.

Humvees don't have large quantities of armor because they are not tanks.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

The Humm-vee is a lightly armored assault unit meant for taking out structures (Great job to WS for nerfing the machine gun damage versus buildings by 400% :rolleyes: ), infantry, and other lightly armored vehicles.

It should be $400 credits, but for some reason, they felt it should be $350. God only knows why the Artillery and MRLS are $450 instead of $600 and $800, respectively.

It's fast, but sacrifices the speed of the Buggy for 25 extra armor and health points. It was like this in TD, too.

(The Nod Artillery vehicle model is based of a real Artillery vehicle used by the former Iraqii army. Cheaper than missile based artllery **--MLRS--**
and as effective, it was meant to give them an advantage over their enemies, I wish I'd know its freaking name)

The Renegade Nod MobArt is based on this unit:

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/g6.htm

The TD Art could be one of several units but is most likely the same Art that Ren Alert modeled they Art after

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/g6.htm


Maximum Range: 39 Km

Westwood seem to have reduced the range significantly.

However the thing that I think is the most ridiculous is that artillery can normally be deployed a long way away from the front and fire over intermediate obstacles to hit a target.

I know this would have caused no end of problems with renegade because of B2B attacks however I don’t think Westwood should have called “artillery� artillery when the profile of the game “artillery� is nothing like real artillery.

If you want "real" Artillery, go there.

Artillery battle in Renegade is ridicilous because there is not enough space to make them actually useful.

It looks like it, but I doubt it.

I remember seeing it on Discovery almost a year ago, it was looking a lot more like the Renegade one, this is mostly like a look-alike.

By todays standards, I don't think that would be an accurate source you got that from since the BAR probably wasn't even used after the second world war, unless your grandfather kept one or something. Second, the humm-vee in the game, while modeled similar to a real one, doesn't have the same dynamics of a real one. What humm-vee in the world today could withstand 6 anti-tank rockets, over 100 steel-warhead bullets, 4 n00b cannon bullets, several tank shells, C4 explosives, nuclear strikes, grenades, head on collision.. not to mention the tyres never go bust, it never runs out of fuel, it has unlimited M60 ammunition.. and when it does die, it doesn't end up in a wreck, it just blows into pieces never to be seen again, and the driver lives.

If I had a humm-vee like that, I'd be rich just by giving people test drives.

Quote:

the army excepted the idea and bought 300 of the humvee and put 200 in recon and 290 in active service


How does that work?

They have 300. You put 200 in Recon

300
- 200
-------
100

Then they put 290 more in active service?

100
- 290
--------
-190

Did they buy 300, then breed them into 490 humvees then spread them out?

It's sorry, not srry. I, not i. You end sentences with a period or an elipsis, not nothing at all.

Use punctuation, it's your friend!

ACK, you're not even using correct punctuation in this post about using correct punctuation. You really need to go back to high school and take some English classes. Maybe you should start by learning about clauses and the proper times to use commas and semicolons.

No, you're just trying to lash out in some way, no semicolons were required in that post. None.
