so as the developer of this mod, something I've seen in the video you were curious about. 1. there are no weak spots for the shield not like a normal vehicle where there is an engine that could be hit. just gotta break the shield/ 2. the infantry aren't completely useless, 1 is good for distracting from heavily armored tanks also and any bullet does damage to the shield. the shield is just another layer of health. Tripods also have different stances, like infantry. the tripod u were using in the video was the low health one meant for people who want an easier better. i challenge you to fight the hard ones, spread out your men use the building as they help the infantry a butt load more and using static weapons etc ive taken out this tripod using mostly infantry and static weapons with on 5 tanks. so its definitely possible to do it with fewer. also, the weakness of the tripods are flanks as they take a while to rate and the tripods on have a 180-degree view. means there a whole another 180 they cant see or engage. thank you for playing my mod brother.

Funny thing is, they might exist in the same universe. All of the Steven Spielberg aliens movies are possibly on the same earth at different times, depicting different kinds of alien behavior. And if they ARE all in the same universe, then the Mor-Taxans are in the Star Wars universe because ET's species have a seat on the galactic Senate.

their entire design is to strike terror into humans. the original 19th century audience is just as startled as the modern day one by seeing these things IRL because it plays on our fears from when we were prey animals. the martians designed them like this with the same mind as mussolini entering Abyssnia with tanks to fight people who only had access to spears, bows and arrows

[@angelmcfarland1189]

The movie made the Tripods very OP with their shields being able to resist everything the US army threw at them. It was till later learn that a soldier taking with them explosives for a close range suicide kill was the most effective at taking one down even though it had a cost. But anyway, The game here shows how the tech looks when the Tripods get nerf down their shields which kinda makes me wonder how the movie would had turn out had the tripods had weaker shields :3

not even: literally got a cold and died of cringe from not having anything other than an overdeveloped nervous system and a heart and lungs, and literally nothing else. they literally use humans as capri suns and are essentially "what if ticks mastered fire?" look at the original book aliens and even the 2005 ones and tell me they don't look like parasites. they overused antibiotics and after eradicating all harmful microbes on their world, thought that Earth microbes wouldn't recognise their chemistry and thought not to get their vaccines while travelling to basically space Africa.

Pretty fun video. It'd be interesting to see the difference if you had artillery and close air support no to mention Javelin troops.

[@The136th]

I think vs shield, HE would "realistically" work better than AP HE: most of the energy is transferred to the shield, draining the shield faster. AP: Get deflected, so only part of the energy is transferred to the shield: less effective than HE. However, the best weapon vs shield would be a shell that pierce the shield and hit the tripod behind it without needing to fully deplete the shield.

Would love to have a Bolo Walker crossover ," controlled by their electronic brains were programmed to admit no possibility of defeat, the gigantic robot tanks known as Bolos were almost indestructible, and nearly unstoppable. Almost. Nearly. A sufficiently determined enemy armed with nearly limitless firepower and willing to sustain terrible losses could destroy a Bolo. But even a terminally damaged Bolo is still an opponent to reckon with. And as long as a Bolo's artificial intelligence retains a flicker of consciousness, its indomitable drive to defend the human race against all enemies will propel it forward. Bolos can be destroyed-but they never surrender!"

[@jklmn101]

Something should be considered in this that I think is actually missing. The Tripods were actually given some rating of strength as originally written. For example, you have in the original a gunboat that as I recall takes out definitely one if not more of these using what could not possibly be anything greater than an antique 8" naval shell. What is on the field in the opening scene would most definitely equal or better that. Second, with the assumption that the firepower of the enemy was superior, opposing forces would direct their fire towards single victims at a time, betting on the possibility of a faster kill in order to decrease the overall fire they would have to endure as the battle progressed. It's an interesting study to a point, but if the power basis of each side is left as a variable for only one of them then it's a losing proposition. I get what FRANK THE TANK is saying, but while he pays some homage to the focused fire concept when addressing why there is even infantry on the field in the first place, he fails to follow that concept to the obvious tactical conclusion. As a remedy, establish some basis of actual power for the Tripods and then allow some level of actual tactical deployment to the event for the opposition.

[@walterblanc9708]

They had no shields in the original story. The artillery took one out maybe more and Thunderchild the Torpedo Ram ship got 2, after the artillery became ineffective against them ( because the martians started lobbing Black smoke at them to neutralise them before getting in range) it was infered they were hoping to destroy them using mines.
