If there is not already one, or this is not it, the HAG should be the main artillery unit for CIS....you can look at the article on it here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Heavy_Artillery_Gun
Approved
-really the only artillery that the CIS had

Okay, so this is the fag, i mean hag, artillery. EPIC FAIL! A GALACTIC BATTLEGROUNDS UNIT!

aceofhicks · « **Reply #2 on:** December 17, 2008, 02:03 am »

I say yes. And it was in more than Battlegrounds (Which is a fun game!)

urkspleen · « **Reply #3 on:** December 17, 2008, 02:05 am »

yes, it is a cannon unit

e^(πi)+1=0 · « **Reply #4 on:** December 17, 2008, 04:06 am »

aren't there any other ones? cause that one doesn't have many appearances, and its in GBG.

Quantum Rain · « **Reply #5 on:** December 17, 2008, 04:08 am »

It's in star fighter and clone wars games as well.

Isnt the hailfire technically artillery?

Tanus · « **Reply #7 on:** December 18, 2008, 02:35 am »

Is hailfire already in? sorry for the off-topic-ness.

I've seen these buggers around before, wouldn't mind seeing them in the mod.

Peace Trooper · « **Reply #8 on:** December 18, 2008, 04:51 am »

i think the HAG is the only CIS artillary its pretty much an AAT with the main cannon replaced with a long range cannon it still has its lighter laser cannons

Quantum Rain · « **Reply #9 on:** December 18, 2008, 06:13 am »

So easy to mod, cannon, plenty of appearences, though only in games, maybe even books though....

urkspleen · « **Reply #10 on:** December 18, 2008, 12:23 pm »

i call for a vote:

1-0

Solar · « **Reply #11 on:** December 18, 2008, 12:55 pm »

I reckon it should be really bad at hitting moving targets, slow moving itself but difficult to take out. basically buildings are it's specialty and any unit of reasonable speed can get to it without being hit requiring it to be defended unlike some of the faster Artilleries that EAW has atm.

Tanus · « **Reply #12 on:** December 18, 2008, 09:19 pm »

I like it. 2-0

Dr. Doozer · « **Reply #13 on:** December 18, 2008, 10:52 pm »

It sounds like a good idea. I like the HAGs but hate having to shoot them in SF; they're just so damned armored! 3-0

aceofhicks · « **Reply #14 on:** December 18, 2008, 11:03 pm »

4-0 I say yes.

e^(πi)+1=0 · « **Reply #15 on:** December 18, 2008, 11:25 pm »

sure 5-0

Mir'ika · « **Reply #16 on:** December 18, 2008, 11:39 pm »

6-0...you seriously need to defend MPTLs, very light armor.

Peace Trooper · « **Reply #17 on:** December 19, 2008, 02:03 am »

dont know if it matters but... 7-0

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #18 on:** December 19, 2008, 03:16 am »

I like the Idea, but they aren't in the novels. 8-0

Peace Trooper · « **Reply #19 on:** December 19, 2008, 05:08 am »

ok my idea its that there about as armored as an AAT but very very slow

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #20 on:** December 19, 2008, 06:07 am »

Heavy armor works, but as for the people talking about MPTL's armor being weak, I think they were supposed to be lightly armored to prevent strain on the engines and treads and they could move faster. The range lets you get one or two rounds off, but you should move it as soon as you can. create a moving target. Units like that are the point in fade and fade pincher attacks.

Mir'ika · « **Reply #21 on:** December 19, 2008, 06:36 pm »

Well, the MPTL looks like it should be able to fire on the move. The fire tubes can pivot and if you just take out the concealment doors, it should be able to fire on the move.

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #22 on:** December 20, 2008, 03:30 am »

Off topic Mirshe. If your going to make a seperate request, create a new topic in land requests.
But still, I think it has something to do with recoil as to why it has to deploy.

D · « **Reply #23 on:** December 20, 2008, 07:08 pm »

i dont think its that.

i think it was for accuracy. Its almost impossible to fire artillery when the angle of your guns are constantly changing due to unlevel terrain.

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #24 on:** December 20, 2008, 09:43 pm »

That's true too. I guess with the aid of targetting computers and considerable skills and exceptional reflexes, it could be done, but not many have that ability.

urkspleen · « **Reply #25 on:** December 20, 2008, 10:31 pm »

ok: lets put this to a vote, and the details can be worked out later....

1-0

Solar · « **Reply #26 on:** December 20, 2008, 10:35 pm »

I see no alternative, so 2-0

Dr. Doozer · « **Reply #27 on:** December 20, 2008, 10:37 pm »

It's like the CIS MPTL.

3-0

aceofhicks · « **Reply #28 on:** December 20, 2008, 11:03 pm »

I say yes, 4-0

8-0 Solar's right, there's nothing else to put in.

8-1

Hailfire droids are artillery.

e^(πi)+1=0 · « **Reply #34 on:** December 22, 2008, 02:38 am »

no they're not; they're more like Melee tanks; they got in close and barraged with rockets from point-blank. Their rockets really didn't have good range. If you watch in episode II, the hailfires all charge the republic tanks at high speed; not something artillery would do.

Dr. Doozer · « **Reply #35 on:** December 23, 2008, 01:55 am »

I don't think they're too much Meele tank, though. They're more like Light Assault Tanks.

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #36 on:** December 23, 2008, 02:07 am »

Kind of a combination of both. They got in close and killed things, then got out again.

Tanus · « **Reply #37 on:** December 23, 2008, 04:52 am »

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #38 on:** December 23, 2008, 05:13 am »

I think it's passed. Let's wait for a mod
