War Bronto's With Turrets.....

[Porter]

So, in case anyone has not been on the receiving end of a maxxed war bronto with 30 turrets on it, good luck. Honestly, there should be a max cap on turrets for mobile war bases. This can lead to one tribe powergaming it up, equipping 2 war bronts with 60 turrets and laying waste to anything in thier path.

I suggest something along the lines of 5 turrets maximum on mobile platforms. This would at least allow a counter to these extremely overpowered mobile tank facerolling platforms.

Sounds bad-ass!

Ouch, I was wondering about this. At least there aren't rocket turrets yet.

Will the turrets fire straight down?

Tease?kite a war bronto to make the driver walk them over a 1x1 metal building that has your tribesmen hiding inside. When it passes overhead they pop out and attack it from below.

Where does the platform with 60 turrets land when the bronto is killed?
(don't know myself since haven't seen one in action yet)

[Porter]

It gets destroyed if the bronto is killed. The problem is, with the most recent buff to bronto's, you can have a bronto with 100K+ hp easily. Which is not exactly lending itself to easy to kill. Not to mention that this isnt taking in to consideration a few people on active defense along with the turrets.

do u know how long it takes to farm up ammunition to keep 60 fking gatlings roling ?

[Painy]

Does don't take dmg by turrets, so put 1 there and see them fail;). (Only if unridden )

[Rezonus]

A rocket launcher could probably destroy those gun turrets. Providing it actually does damage.

Personally, I'd get bored to death with a killing machine like that. Where's the challange if there's virtually nothing anybody can do against you?

If it was up to me, building on a platform saddle should be limited by the carry weight of the dino, so you'd have to put points in it if you want to buil, lots of stuff. But I'm not sure when (or if) the dev's will change the building-limit apart from the multiplier you can add to the server's .ini (below 1 should make it less than 50 pieces).

With stone and and therefore park powder easy, it isn't quite the [problem it use to be. Still waiting to get a high level bronto to make mobile base defense/AA platform for major operations.

What is the torpor on a high level bronto? And what happens to the platform when it is knocked out?

Regardless, I think a maximum of 5 weapon slots for a bronto would be appropriate.

even low lvl brontos have thousands of torpor

[Gunslinger]

just got me a bronto think i will build one of these

Even with flint and stone being super easy to get (the mats for sparkpowder were already gathered by ankylos in sufficient numbers) you still need thousands and thousands and thousands of wood, constantly burning in forges to supply that amount of charcoal. On top of this you need thousands and thousands of metal to make the ammunition and 30 turrets will burn through a hundred man hours of work in less than a minute.

Can you fill a 1x1 with c-4 and detonate it when it passes over? I think the resources used to devise ways on taking a bronto down would be well worth the losses from someone losing 60 turrets all at once. Would graphics rendering slow down turret fire rate/damage to attackers?

100 hours of work for about 30 seconds of entertainment or less lol.
