Kilkakon Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Hi folks, Working on my epic modpack but struggling to understand gunboats. Seemingly I can reinforce them from the east edge, is it possible that they can come in from the west? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I doubt it... but what's the use anyway? Reinforced boats are useless by design; they are weaponless sitting ducks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilkakon Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Was thinking that they could help defend the coast and take out some guard towers. Trying to fix up my finale mission for one of my campaigns after a tester reported LSTs storming the beaches and chasing units around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad1233 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Nyerguds really needs to fix reinforced weaponless Gun Boats so custom missions can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cn2mc Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Someone did a trick to reinforce an 'armed' gunboat by chinook, I think. One landable square on the far west edge of the map might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilkakon Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Haha wow, that's new levels of silly XD I might go with trying to harass the player with air instead. SAM Sites are underused by players, having enough Warthogs to actually be a threat might make them actually be used. ...or just cruise missile them to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nariac Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I came up with a way to get reinforced gunboats which shoot, the trick is to bring them in transported inside another unit. In theory this should work with anything - APCs, Chinooks, Hovercraft, C-10 Transport, but I found the best way was by Chinook as you have the most control over where the new gunboat will patrol. https://forums.cncnet.org/topic/5635-gdi-cry-me-a-river-single-player/ here's the map I built to showcase it, so you can check it out if you like. It's not hard to hide the place the Chinooks land the boats so the player will never see the trick used to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
