F4U Corsair
Spaceman
These were pretty awesome guns equipped to a few different ships, does anyone know why they were replaced w/ Ion guns?
Nappydman said:Well, there's two reasons. One, because the guns are expensive and it aided Confed to consolidate their weaponry to just a few types, and two because game programmers got lazy and didn't have to invent a new gun when one already existed.
Nappydman said:Sorry, that was poor phrasing on my part. It's just a theory I've got here, nothing more. Perhaps the programmers did the ion guns first and just made them the standard gun when they realized how many more weapons they had to make?
Im curious what new weapons (Besides missiles) they created in Wing commander 4?

What about that new ass kicking Plasma gun, I know they had other Plasma guns before, But not like that. Also, I didnt like the PIS particle cannon, it seemed more like the WC2 one then the ones in WC3 or 4. But what was that huge green pulse from the Nephilim bombers? Was that as powerful as the Plasma gun?
Well there is the Wraith, but point taken. Btw both Excalibur & Wraith are Secret Ops ships so mybe thats why their weapon load out had reapers.Additionally, we no longer flew the Excalibur, which would be pretty much the only ship to still carry the Reaper.
Meaning its a pulse particle gun, nice gun btw. What I dont understand why did they bring in the chain ion or cloudburst. Hell the could have used normal plasma(Priv, WC3-4), Ionic Pulse Cannon, fusion, reaper, neutron, light tychon, meson, heavy massdriver & fission gun. Personaly I think they could have dumped the ion gun, massdriver is better it only lacks range that ion has.PIS wasnt supposed to be something like POS (piece of shit). If you switch to that cannon in SO its called the "PIS particle gun."
