Heavy Tanks : A feel of AC5?

[darkdragon_ycart22]

I really like the premise of an all-heavy tank tournament, but I'm still confused by the parts list. Could you give us your exact reasoning for banning/allowing the parts that you did?

As it is, the rules are really convoluted.

It can be simplified by just saying something general like,

no laser weapons, --> armor is more effective against solid rounds. should prolong matches.
only heavyweight arms and cores, --> to go with the theme, obviously
no missiles, --> kills tanks too quickly
tank legs only --> duh.

etc.

Thanks for giving out a summary. I got an idea, and I've stated it here...

Heads = no radars.
> more challenge to the game. You have to rely on a shrinked lock box to locate your opponent. Too bad if you have COWRY in.

Cores = middleweights and heavies only, URANUS and Starter Core is an exception.

No Hangars = what are your Cannons for?

Arms = middleweights and heavies only, doesn't include the ones stated above.
> arm variety.
Weapon arms = no missiles.
> Nothing sucks more than getting yourself devirginized by four nukeheads in an instant. Or swarms of sperms, aka micros.

Legs = Heavy Tank Legs only, obviously.
> the theme is centered on this rule.

Radiators = no ANANDA and R92.
> they're simply overused.

Extensions
*no Hovers - makes the slowdowns pointless.
*no JIRENs - that's cheating for the other Tank you genbusted.
*no Relation Missiles - that should tone down the killing power of main missiles.

Insides = no ECM's.
> you having no lock-on + him spamming all match = no fun.

Back Units
*no CENTAUR - also too powerful, and spammable. However, it is virtually useless in low-ceiling areas. You'd better be safe than sorry.
*no Radars - take the challenge.

Arm Units = only one Hangar-Size weapon allowed
> to help avoid underweight setups.

Optional Parts = no L+
> that's part of the challenge.

Conditions when equipping the SELENA Core:
*only one Flamethrower may be used
- genbust murders suck. But you can go as brutal as having Napalm insides and H3 handgun on, plus that NICHRIN and EO.
*no LX, LAMIA2, and GERYON3 - because they're too powerful, and I think many will abuse that fact.
*no OGRE2 - too powerful for its spam rate with the EO.

Is this better?

~ BTW, when it comes to balanced raw firepower match-ups like this, Type-A users are much more dangerous. Insides are their extra pellet guns. ~
