Decoy Athena

sort
binko 4 years ago (edited 4 years ago) Athena D gun, press it and it fills your opponents radar with dots in direct proximity. Dots follow athena's movement with some randomness so it's not absolutely obvious that it's fake. The amount of dots set in the command panel ui as a number ranging from 0 to 50 (?) along with the type of units, for example air water or ground. Perhaps also mouvment type which would restric athena own mouvement to say slow/fast. This could also have a use when infiltrating bases as athena can suffer from its high speed and low maneuvrability. If not manualy set up athena would simulate dots in function of what terrain it is flying over. Decoy dots are generated until d gun is pressed again and decoy ability is shut down. +0 / -0

Ontheheavens 4 years ago (edited 4 years ago) If i recall correctly similar feature is present in scfa, so it has its uses. But i disagree that decoying should be athena's job, they are already function-heavy unit just like tremor. +1 / -0

Ontheheavens 4 years ago https://supcom.fandom.com/wiki/Radar_Jamming I say leave Athena be and make this some gunship ability, maybe krow or trident, or some new unit. Athena is good as it is. +0 / -0

Ontheheavens 4 years ago Blastwing already counters unskilled artemis, i think. Baiting razors is job of revenants. I see decoys as more of psychological warfare. +0 / -0

Anarchid 4 years ago (edited 4 years ago) Athena can already do this by investing 25 metal per radar dot. You can then further confuse the enemy by ctrl+rmb ordering the generated radar dots to match speed with an arbitrary other unit in your posession - for example, appearing on radar as a mass of Knights if you only have one. +4 / -0
NorthChileanG 4 years ago (edited 4 years ago) Decoy anything VISUAL would be extremely useful, even if it is only static. Having 5 "balloon" minotaurs or 1 "balloon" dante would be simply delight to use for enemy scouts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_tank +0 / -0
