Re: Car Wars 5e Vehicle Design
Because the HRR is an even bigger blast cannon in CW:Tanks?

Re: Car Wars 5e Vehicle Design
Yes, in 2.5 there's a HRR, but CW5e made a number of revisions to weapons, and the Blast Cannon name should have been one of them. It's always sounded silly to me.

Besides, a twin HRR trike doesn't sound as cool as a twin Blast Cannon trike. (Edit: Sigh, someone else already mentioned the existing HRR. :(

Granted, the name "Blast Cannon" sucks, but "Recoilless Rifles" technically aren't even real recoilless rifles, so it would not be much of a clarification. Tony |

Re: Car Wars 5e Vehicle Design
No guarantee it would make it over to 5e.
Yes, but it meets the definition of a CW RR.

Re: Car Wars 5e Vehicle Design
Is SJG continuing to publish CW5?

Re: Car Wars 5e Vehicle Design
Not since 2002. They're still in stock at Warehouse 23, though.

Re: Car Wars 5e Vehicle Design
Chaotic, I have question about your addition of:
Quote:
But I'm curious why you put in your document a hypothetical 5e construction cost for a JD as 275 lbs, 1 space, 10 shots. In the spirit of the Compendium rules...a JD has only 5 shots. For a total of 10 shots it should be 2 spaces which includes an extra magazine that possibly costs also $50 for the mag. I know this is an academic discussion anyway, not to be taken too seriously since 5e construction rules were never even officially published. I know you did a ton of hard work reverse-engineering 5e, so I don't want to assume you made an error... is there something I don't know about how you came up with these numbers? For my construction pals, I'm considering using a 5e JD that is $50, 150lbs, 1 space, with 5 shots. An extra magazine costs $50 and 140lbs, 1 space and adds another 5 shots.
