@Bandit LOAF So where does that leave when we look at the intended age of the fighters in WC3, and then adjust that for the fact that the game takes place in 2669 instead of 2676? Much of what follows is of course speculative (as in all of it! :)) The Arrow entered service in 2653 A...

Hmmm, no info on refire delay in the WC2 engine data, eh? I remember the mass drivers as having quite a high rate of fire. Might have to check out some youtube clips.

Interesting indeed. But slow down and leave some data input for me will you? :)

Glad you will be able to continue to serve on "Tin Can Sally"! :)

@Bandit LOAF Finished adding the data from the WC3/4 game files that you provided. Moving on to the WC4 official guide and then the WC bible as bundled with GOG WC4 :)

@Bandit LOAF (in Hobbes' voice) Editing the file now Sir! Just get me that damn turret data! 😁

@Bandit LOAF Would it be too much to ask @ODVS and @Pedro to rip the fighter info too? 😬 I would not mind starting an updated file for players/fans (both new and old) with the actual stats that perhaps I could upload to the site one day soon(ish). Or work on the wiki?

There is a problem with this idea that Confed High Command was using the Victory as part of the Behemoth and Temblor projects because the Kilrathi would overlook it. That problem is Blair. Blair has come to the attention of The Emperor himself, right? He is Thrakath's arch-nemesis. It would...

It was because of all the losses at The Battle of Earth. ;)

@Bandit LOAF Umm...you mentioned multipliers against textures. So do some weapons get bonus damage against shields or engines etc.?

This leading me down a rabbit hole. I now am wondering about all the other stats in the manuals vs. actual game. It looks like ship speed is at least accurate. If these games ever are remade I want gun loadouts that make sense and not just designed for game balance. I mean, why not just give...

Correct weapons stats and a promotion to Commodore all on the same day! Sweeeeeeet. :cool: The particle cannon is not such a huge improvement over the neutron gun after all. Better range and bolt velocity are nice though. The in-universe explanation would probably be that it is a variation...

Also, did Right, but from an "in-universe" perspective some of the weapon loadouts don't make sense. And I am a huge nerd in trying to make game balance match with in-universe lore! 😁 Any info on the turreted weapons? The Longbow's particle cannon seemed to have a very high rate of fire. Also...

At last!!!! Thanks @Bandit LOAF and probably @ODVS and @Pedro and whomever else is working on the WC4 remake. Dissappointed by the light tachyon cannons! It uses the same energy as the standard! This needs to be fixed in the WC4 remake! The Mass Driver is OP! Change this too. No info on weapon...

https://www.wcnews.com/news/update/14668 Neutron guns did the most damage in WC1

Those are the official manual stats, but in game (in WC1) neutron was definitely the most powerful blaster. We need someone to crack open the actual game files and see what the actual data "on disk" says. And in WC2 the particle cannon was inferior to the mass driver; but this was because the...

The plasma gun in wc3 was good too. And I think it went laser < mass driver < neutron in WC1. But was the WC2 neutron better than the WC2 particle cannon?

Simply cannot win Alcor 1. Ejected every time. Fortunately not an essential mission. 😌

Re: Neutron Gun in WC Saga. Maddeningly the description of the gun does not match it's stats. It is outclassed, except for range, by the Mass Driver. It is not much better than the crappy photon cannon - which is the oldest Terran weapon.

The plot thickens! ;) Will have to check out youtube re: Sorthak in WC Saga. There is a LP of the whole game uploaded there.
