Talk:Hovertank/Launcher

Does anyone know if the hovertank/launcher is capable of reaction fire? If so, any idea how many TU's it takes to do so?

Also, Do you need to research fusion balls to get the Hovertank/launcher? --Papa Legba 14:26, 9 Dec 2005 (PST)

I've never personally seen the fusion hovertanks use reaction fire, but I distinctly remember blaster launchers (and TFTD's DPL launchers) being fired via reaction fire.

A reaction shot with a guided missile weapon is essentially a normal attack, but with only 1 waypoint. So if the fusion hovertank ever did perform a reaction shot, it would use the normal attack cost .

By the way, a levitating hover tank can never be hit from the under-side even if fired upon from below. The only exception being area-effect weapons. Strange, but tested and true.
