ACK, I was replying to your comment here

"It doesn't hover. Drive off a cliff and it won't float down. It'll fall like a rock and turn over in the process, like a regular tank will." - ACK


it cant do that, thats what I explained using other games and real hover units. the Hover MLRS is a HoverCraft, and it cant "float down" in reality, that goes for fiction and non fiction, if it isnt close to the ground it falls.

same for gravetic propulsion systems, star wars for example, the units only over at 10 storys or less (or so it looks)...its space ships with way into future abilitys so it has more range, but it STILL has to have something to "push" against.

The hover MLRS would NOT be able to glide down....no wings, engines are that strong, and its heavy.


You have *no idea* of what type of propulsion system drives any vehicle in Tiberian Sun or any other game that's set that far in the future. They can say "Blah blah, it's this super stardrive hyper warp speed" thing, but it's not known for sure and therefore you cannot say that real world physics, as we know them today, will apply to the games.

Maybe you don't understand something - you don't *have* to push against anything except the force of gravity itself with an anti-gravity system coupled with an inertial damper to prevent motion sickness and disorientation while inside the vehicle.

Hover units as portrayed today are nothing more than LCAC units, Landing Craft Air Cushioned, in other words. They run off of a strong turbine engine which powers the air cushion system, allowing it to "hover" as it moves. In reality, it's just flying a few feet off the ground, nothing more.

The Harrier is a horrible example, because it's just a VTOL\STOL aircraft that has the capability of taking off like a helicopter and landing like a jet, or a combination of either. It hovers just like a helicopter would, by attempting to remain in one position while keeping the vehicle in balance aganist the force of gravity.

So please stop trying to lecture me on physics... I spent a good two or three years reading up on things like this, using various sources over the years... Thank you very much.
