Maybe it could even be a repurposed street sweeper: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_sweeper#/media/File:Streetsweeper_CN100_Sinder.jpg "After its initial success as a missile launcher, the {Missile launcher name here}'s chassis was mated with a street sweeper's cleaning systems modified with hooks, daggers, and jagged scrap metal. Now all battlegrounds will be spotless thanks to the Tenderizer" I figure it could double as the resource transporter as well, because as it rends an enemy's hull it collects the scrap, ready for quick use.

Design idea: You seem to rely on horizontally oriented spinblocks for your meele vehicles... but what about VERTICALLY oriented ones! Make you vehicle much much heavier than the opponent and have two, maybe three, sets of vertically oriented cylinders with rams on them like its a farming machine. This should allow you to control the opponents behaviour much more efficiently and maybe give you an easy flip on them, if you so desire (just switch the spin direction). Also if you make contact witch an enemy vehicle you should no longer bounce since the enemy will probably just get sucked into your spinning nightmare death grasp thingemajig (in a set of two cylinders have the top one rotating downward and the bottom one rotating upward / in a set of three you can make the middle one do as you please / in a set of four split evenly / and so on and so forth).

Hey lathrix, did you know the speed of the pistons adds to the speed of the vehicle when you ram an other? Not only that but you can stack multiple pistons on top of one an other. Every time you double the reach and the impact speed. Even if you set the pistons to deploy only 1/10th of their lenght, if you stack enough pistons with a ram at the tip, you will get extreme extension speed and extreme amounts of damage from impact as a result. You can even build a hacksaw with that mechanism. Similarly, you can now stack spin blocks, and their spinning speed will multiply exponentially. Love your videos s always, keep up the good work!

The tip of the drill will act like a spear when actuated by a piston, but making the tip spin does not add anything to it. You need to imagine adding momentum to a ram increase its damage, but you all your momentum must increase in the same direction (vector) to add up.

It's a tough, melee vehicle meant to make mincemeat out of heavy armor. I think "Brimstone Slugger" is a fitting name. Because it brings the enemy hell. You can even say the name is an homage to the religious white flayers. Maybe the design of the module used to make the chassis a close combat vehicle was "borrowed" from the white flayers and the name is deliberately saying. "Yes, I stole your design and you can't do anything about it." I think the Scrapper faction must be getting a bit up on it's high horse after basically beating one faction, turning another on the defensive and actively driving a third off. The leader must begin to think it's going pretty great and is actively dissing the other factions by rampant theft and mockery.

I have a name for it! The Shredder. previously used to remove large pieces of metal and to break up huge scrap piles the Shredder was an invaluable tool for the scrapers. however, once war broke out the scrapers welded every piece of steel they could find on to the Shredder to armor it for the coming battles. not much was needed to turn these tools into weapons of war and they became a go-to when faced with a heavily armored opponent.

The Fidget Spinner, or Fidget Spinner. Being a cargo transporter for the Dustwind Gypsies, it shared many similar traits to other vehicles employed by the faction, with only one striking difference - the vehicle had an impressive amount of armour. The Gypsies valued scrap and materials very high, hence the increased protection. After the Dustwind Gypsies were crushed under the boots of an ingenious scrapper making military grade tanks out of... well... scrap, the vehicle was put out of commission because it was much slower than The Dauntless - a mobile cargo rocket on land travelling just under the speed of sound or Mach 1, making it easy travelling on water. Only about half a year into the war with the Onyxwatch and suffering heavy casualties, the scrapper was walking around with his newest invention The Fidget Spinner, to help with his stress. Upon visiting his warehouses he found this vehicle abandoned, after looking at it for hours, fidgeting with the Spinner and thinking about buzzsaws, he found a use by combining all three. The result was a crude but effective vehicle that on paper was effective against anything up close, neutralising the one advantage the Onyxwatch had - lots of armour. This vehicle would turn the tide of the war or so was thought. If you read this story up to here, please comment constructive criticism and tell me what you liked about the story. Also, please point out any punctuation errors, I tend to be oblivious to them.

Maybe have just two spinblock but slightly bigger ones - and make it symmetric that way too (if you reverse the direction of one of the spinners).. And maybe have the "mouth" between them spit harpoon missiles or maybe harpoons with magnets but not missile propulsion (making them use bit less ammo and be immune to LAMS). Simple weapons lasers could be a good secondary weapon too. Maybe too good. Of course then you'd need some ammo but if you put it on soe kind of protrusion rather than inside the vehicle you'd only use the ammo and not half of your vehicle in case of ammo explosion. Oh - and is it not possible nowadays to put spin blocks on turrets.. The spinrams could be turreted and have the turret movement compensate for bounces.. Of course it might be more efficient simply to have a huge spinner that surrounds the entire vehicle and have the rams and most of the armor in that - but it would be bit ugly and cheaty.

For the piston-version, just because. Sweeper, A wreck breaking and scrape gathering craft, used to break up broken hulks and push the wreckage to other craft for collection and processing. The Sweeper has found use in some scrapper teams as a melee vehicle, especially when threatened by Onyx Watch assets, as the impact ram can punch through the heavier armour.

For the multi-spin version Pinwheel, A wreck breaking vehicle re-purposed my many scrapper teams for emergencies when more conventional craft arne't available to assist. The metal crushing rotors can just as easily smash through intact plating as it can through scrap. Being an industrial vehicle, it lacks many of the more explosive parts found in combat craft, making it a very sturdy unit.

Think your old melee tank got stuck on "I have a different number of wheels", which will currently set it's speed to 0 - as you mentioned. What also happens is when one gets repaired it'll do the same thing. Harpoons! also spinblocks & pistons remember their static settings now, so you don't need polling ACBs. I seem to remember rams also work no matter what way they're oriented, so you can have flat faces outwards for looks if you want.

Scorpion When the scrappers first went up Against the onyx watch it was difficult to penetrate the powerful armor that they put out. So to combat this they put a powerful metal grinder on a vehicle and made it combat ready. Even though it works like a dream come true it has to rush into the fray to get a kill but once it does the grinder will make sure that something is missing from the enemy. The mighty Scorpion quick,resilient,and able to make a mark is truly a vehicle no captain wants to see rushing towards them.

The Harvester; An old farming craft repurposed for combat. In a past life, they were industrial harvesters, mowing through fields of grain rather than tanks. Machines of labor such as those had no need for even the lightest of traditional weaponry, so there are no stores of ammo found on board. What was once a hold for crops is now filled with makeshift boosters. They were no shoddy craft either, they were built to last, even before they were covered in scrap plate armor. The original scythes were replaced with ramming spikes, but you can still find a few with blades meant for cutting through thick foliage and trailblazing for the rest of the fleet.

@Lathland
@Lathland 6 жыл бұрын
obvious but sadly that woudln't work as slowing down that far away just lets enemies get away far too often, lots of enemies are VERY close to the max speed of this craft anyway so slowing down to provide a better hit would let them go faster and they would be gone - this method would only work reliably vs very slow targets or stationary ones, there are just too many enemies with good speeds at or above this vehicles speed even within the Onyx watch, its also oddly annoying to slow down a craft on command as it requires taking control away from the Aerial AI (Best for melee, oddly!) or lowing the engine level which will mess with shields and with steam engines it takes time to ramp down or up which messes with this further. This would work if the desired speed could be relative to the enemy speed e.g. 5-10m/s above the enemies, but that just doesn't work in this game outside of LUA or some seriously heavy ACB use which is vulnerable to messing up. So just ensuring a fast recovery from the bounce and leaving a good speed is by far the more reliable and far simpler option, if not the most satisfying! Hope that clears things up a little with my choice not to slow the craft down :)

Call it the "Bulldozer" (not a a very fitting name, I agree, but just read the rest.) Before the war, to harvest the great piles of scrap leftover from ancient battles, small vehicles roamed about, guided by the scrappers and armed with a little wall, they pushed around the heaps of resources to more convenient locations. After the start of the war, while Lathrix the scrapper went about to collect some more resources, he accidentally left the handbrake off while he got out, and the vehicle started moving, hit a Pharaoh, and cause non-minor amounts of damage. That was when the idea popped into Lathrix's head, and the project went into R&D. There were some rams in an old warehouse that Lathrix had taken from a long dead White Flayer tank, so he simply strapped them onto the front of his scrap harvesting bulldozer. The initial impact was good, but not enough. So, he dismounted the bulldozer's blade and bolted it to a technology that was quite new to him: the piston. And yet, the results were still poor, mediocre at best. There was not enough consistent damage. Lathrix, from a group of war refugees seeking to flee the destruction the enemy factions tried to bring upon each other, heard of brutal slaughters, great victories, and, most importantly, a great and almost undefeatable vehicle: the White Flayer's Chaos. The thing that interested Lathrix the most was the actual weapon. For reliable damage, those crazed lunatics that are the Flayers had a great idea: spinblocks. After further R&D with spinblocks, Lathrix felt satisfied and settled on having not one, not two, but three rotating ram wheels placed horizontally on the front. In honor of its original purpose, the newly constructed melee craft was named the "Bulldozer."

The Sandstorm desperate times call for desperate measures but none more then the Sandstorm. In a battlefield full of tanks and land rigs, the Sandstorm ram vehicle stands out. Created as a means to defeat armour and negate the protection offered by shields, the Sandstorm puts forward its spinning blades. Showing the cunning of the scrapers the vehicle is made from the remains of fallen pharaoh and scorpion tanks as well as scrap taken from defeated foes. Onyx watch protocol says to target these vehicles whenever possible and if hit by one abandoned the vehicle. The protocols is called wind wisp, named after the sound of the terrifying blades that spin on the Sandstorm.

So lathrix small idea. Not sure how feasible itd b but possibly using spin blocks for vertically spinning small augers built into the sides of a plow style ram or possibly a "drill" made up of a spin block spinning a forward w facing spike possibly looking similiar to a stepper bit

idea for the name and lore: The Papercut After several years of warring with the onyx watch, the scrappers needed a new way to win. Something unexpected. They threw together a bunch of jagged metal scraps, jets, and motors and made the strongest unit in their arsenal: a melee speeder tank.

You should call it the "Bugger"(or Buggar, cause british) seeing as the front looks like the blade of a bucket wheel excavator(like the Bagger 288, which is where the name is taken from). A bio for it could be: "Scrapped from a broken down titanic bucket wheel excavator used in the mines up north before the war broke out. The frame, mostly broken down except for a couple dozen of its collossal mining blades, which was constructed to be especially potent against the hard and dense metals commonly used in the heavy armour of most modern war machines. As the scrappers, its your civil "duty" to bring glory to this equipment once again and use it for its "intended" purpose once more. The armour of your enemies are but materials waiting to be harvested after all. Welding these blades to early generation transport crafts have given them the mobility and speed they always lacked in their earlier form, its time to bring the scrapping to the battlefield." I hope that was edgy enough, glory to the scrap god.

How about a melee vehicle that is like a moving ramp. Then add a "blade" in the middle to cut a slice out of the enemy. Make the ramp out of straight blocks on a spinblock so it actually works. Maybe add some rubber to the ramp to make it last a bit longer. Maybe make the blade like a saw.... Like a mad tablesaw on the run! Also, there is an option to make the craft use it's velocity vector to aim at enemies. It makes it a lot better when aiming when you drift a lot. The downside is that it doesn't always aim directly at the enemy.

I'd love to see a full static spike spine and name it razorback. Another idea for something could be a ramp/wedge vehicle that the whole point of it is to get up under a vehicle very quickly and then you could piston spike it rapidly, or lift it and shoot at it with very large short range cram shots from below.

nice idea, I would love to see you try get into the drills, I am sure you will find them more effective, yet you may need more power. You can also put them on a turret :> but having all the components on a turret would make the turret a little too big. Another would be a jack hammer type pistons extend / contract on the fastest possible speed. I thought the rams on spin blocks would not do damage, I believe that is how it is in the niter campaign?..Also would having harpoons stop the knock back you get due to speed?

I think you should make the mole's teeth a bit higher or double layered. It chews so fast through armor that the non-chewing bits get stuck in the enemy where the jaws can't get. Also if you would make a horizontal circular(-ish) spinning ram with teeth all around and a bit bigger, then you could call it Shai Hulud. It would hugely fit the campaign as you are mostly fighting on sandy stuff. Also can make a skimmer based craft since wheels are so buggy. Wish I had your skills to build stuff. This game is way too much for me so I am fine with just watching you play. Thanks for this!

what you do is you build a ramp out of the ram blocks so that as it hits the enemy it starts burrowing a inverted ramp into the enemy which will in turn start to cause the enemy to roll or flip this will dig into the enemy and gradualy eat them in half also for when they might land on top have a bunch of rams attached to pistons which will when the enemy comes in contact with them it takes advantage of the bounce glitch

That is the bored borer being from the depths of the deepest mineshafts alongside the laser miner to gather the resources of the ground and clear out large swathes of land when aboveground when the lathrixian scrapper teams started finding them they were low on drivers do they took the blades off 2 of the other borers that end up being left behind and repurposed the small shields designed to keep cave-ins from destroying the bored borer when they start coming up they accidentally create a cave in and destroys the rest of the partially dismantled vehicles

Seems like it might do less uselessly drifting in a circle around the enemy if the steering thrusters were pushing the nose towards the enemy rather than pushing the tail away from it... For instance, when it wants to turn right, adding a leftward force is more likely to make it miss, even when that does rotate the vehicle to face closer to the target, it pushes it laterally away, meaning that it has to rotate further and if the target is already moving sideways relative to the rammer's course it's much more likely to miss entirely or just barely clip a corner instead of hitting head-on.

This is a bit late, but here's my idea for the name and lore of the new vehicle Crown of Thorns May metal be wary. The Crown of Thorns is the latest in the line of strange, cruel weaponry from the Scrapper Legion. With three whirling teeth in its maw, this vehicle feeds on the Onyx Watch for breakfast, like a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. Tearing tanks limb from limb, the Crown of Thorns is the vehicle with the constitution of the Scrapper Legion all over it, due to the fact that it accidentally shredded that document. Remember, we're the good guys!

So maybe this has already been said but you could use one piston with a songle ram on the front of it to try to punch through the armor in one go, have the vehicle get right up next to it and then punch through the armor with the piston. Add a nuke to the back of the ram and it'll make for one hell of a vehicle.

From: White Flayers Intelligence Branch To: High Command Re: Lathrix Scrappers weapons development Sirs, We have obtained intelligence regarding the Lathrix factions latest effort. As you will note on this video, the Scrappers have taken the design of their missile truck and converted it into a melee type unit, having the ability to destroy Onyx Watch armored vehicles. If supported with suppressive fire from friendly units, we estimate this unit will be a formidable asset. We believe it to be code-named "Grinder". Note clipped to one copy: Uncle Carl, This thing is as nasty as it looks, it chewed through the front armor of a Rhino in -seconds-! I know we don't get much attention from H.Q., but I think this is something the top brass should see. We might be next on the Junkmen's list. P.S. Love to Aunt Edna, looking forward to my next visit. J.

Hey Lathrix, how about making a bucket wheel excavator with the weapon rotating outwards, so it would not only shred enemies, but also flip them to be safer from their fire and rip the tender underside >:3?

The S.A.W: Basicly it was a very old vehicle for wood cut. Now in times of war, the crafty scrappers just got to the point where the forces were getting worse. So they decided to simply cut throug metal instead of wood. After some tests with some put together sawblades the screppers got another new vehicle for the strike forces. The Sonic Assault Warmashine was designed for only one purpus: End the War and get as much scrap out of it. With this the scrappers are hopeing to finaly end the tiresome was and finaly live in peace. Ps: sorry for my bad english ;D thanks to google its some what readabil... hopfully....

For the speed try to make it go as fast as it can until it's right by the target mabe like 30m then slow down to ramming speed. You could also put lead on the spin blocks to reduce bounce.
