What if hawken had a ramming feature, like if a Raider rammed a Bruiser, it'd take away the same amount of health that a secondary weapon would inflict depending on the range and speed of the ram?

You can actually do this on certain terrain. Usually an odd angle at the base of a ramp, It looks like you're just ramming them but in reality your mech boot is landing on their mech boot! CRUSHED.

New mechanic: dodging into an opponent causes damage to both (ramming).

 

New internal: you take no damage from ramming.

.................

I'd actually be OK with this... I think.

As long as the damage caused wasn't over-the-top. There's already crushing damage, so it doesn't seem too much of a stretch to me, now that I'm really thinking about it.

And it'd have the secondary effect of shushing the "we need a melee mech!" crowd; i.e. All the mechs are the melee mech (But without silly rock-em-sock-em-punching or erupting burning fingers).

Every raider pilot wants to be able to equip and ramming shield internal and run into people.  G2Raider + power surger or evasive device should be insta kill on any a-class you can sandwich between a wall.

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.

R = (d*0.05)wg2

 

where

 

R = Ramming damage

d = distance travelled

w = weight in tons

g = ground speed

 

Adjust as needed.

Guess you Raider people need all the help you can get.  I mean, you can already basically "one-shot" an A class... why not ram them to death as well.

 

I think it would be kinda cool if you could knock other mechs around instead of damaging them.

A while ago I mentioned that I thought a "shove" type melee move would be a great way to make the turret mode on C's a bit less impotent.

Something like all C's, while in turret mode, could do a forward thrust with their shields that would shove back and do damage to enemies.  I'd love that.

I like this, although I'd be worried about how this might effect chokepoints

Like I said... I personally wouldn't want the damage to be over-the-top. Like, it's pretty difficult to crush someone as it is if they're at full health, I think the ramming damage should be comparable, or even a little less. And I'd like to only see it applied if someone boosts into you, I don't think dodging or walking should count, obviously. And, yeah, there should totally be a shock coil sort of internal that prevents or reduces self-inflicted collision damage. So, no, I don't think this would "nerf a's into the ground," scouts and zerkers could crash into people with the best of them.

 

 

 

 

 

Sure, raiders would be the best at it. :tongue:
(Specifically the G2 raider. and I'm OK with that; even though it technically doesn't boost when using blitz, but for this purpose we should make an exception to the rule).

Yes it should do moderate to low damage however, depending on speed and weight class of the ramming mech. Maybe discourage this kind of attack from being abused by adding a shock or whiplash kind of effect, for example, immediately after a ram attack, you take a small amount of self damage, your aim is off, windshield cracked, and/or your display blanks out for a second.

 

And any mech with under 30 health, a C class at full speed can smash directly through and unlock the new "Personal Breakthrough" kill. The enemy Pilot comes flying out 3D-style in a screaming bundle of flaming limbs, sticks to the nearest wall and oozes down.
under 20 HP - B class

under 10 HP - A class

there is a post about a C class with a Melee ability that is similar to this,
