Minifig Anti-tank weapons?

[Cpt. Zipps]

I think that in my Ultimate Weapons supplement I will make stats for bazookas with unlimited MK II missiles I think.

Do you do 2005 or 2001 rules? If you do 2005, I made a system for unlimited explosives of any size.

[Cpt. Zipps]

2005.

Explosives fired from a launcher can have unlimited ammunition, but you must pay triple the price and the launcher must wait one turn between shots.

1d10exp = 3CP
2d10exp = 6CP
3d10exp = 9CP
etc.

There ya go. It's been playtested and it's balanced.

you could always use mortars

MORTAR
ur:8 (needs 3 people to operate)
range: 48 inches
damage: 2d20 (x inch radius)
reload 1-2 rounds

mortars have value becuase they can hit thing from virtually across the map. however, you have to flag the target area with a circle the turn before, so your opponet gets a chance to clear the area. however, by using a larger mortar qith maybe a 6 or 7 inch radius, a tank wouldnt be able to retreat.

You don't sound very decisive about it, but I agree that upgrading the "standard" unlimited ammo bazooka to mk.II (and maybe giving your elite troops a few ammo-limited Mk. III bazookas to take out the heaviest units) is the best option. I think.

Also, I made a rule that vehicles' rear armor is 1 AV (1D10) lower than their side and front armor, which gives troops an edge in taking down larger units if they can get behind them.

An alternate way is to attach a stupidly overpowered weapon to a minifig then give it such a high use it's only any good against tanks anyway.

The problem is that although tanks present a large target area, their high speed often negates the targeting bonus. Rayhawk hath stated that attacks on a vehicle get +1 to skill for every 2" of vehicle size -1 to skill for every 6" the vehicle moves (although I modified this by ruling that the total skill modifier can't be negative) The typical armored vehicle in my army is 6-8" long and moves at between 12" and 18" per turn. That means that you will get a skill bonus of, at most, +2 (and usually only +1.)

I find that flamethrowers do a good job of killing the crew through the viewports.

You do know that using the standard long range weapon as a bazooka does not give it unlimited ammo, right?

I think I remember him mentioning this in TBD brikpocalypse

These are all very good ideas, but I like the classic, one man + one missile = dead tank.

"The result of a hit on a fully armoured tank is spectacular."

Bota espectacular nisso

[Warhead]

Certamente!

I think I would be happy to fight tanks with Infantry with enough AT missiles. So long as there's cover enough to shoot and scoot. I think AT Missiles should have better effect on armour and no area effect. (There specialised to kill armour) so maybe Mrk II 2D10? Damage but all armour is 1/2 value? Something like that or is it too different to existing rules?

[IVhorseman]

Something I've been tossing around in my head is weapons that multiply their damage by the structure level of their target.

So if something has class 0 armor it does no damage, but class 3 armor does 3x the damage.

[Rody]

sounds promising, but what would such a weapon consist of?

[Warhead]

I like it, it's about over penetration. If there is no armour it passes through making just a little hole. Sabot Armour Piercing rounds? They're made for killing armour but useless for killing individual soft targets. Like people.
