Talk:Disruptor Pulse Launcher

Does the DPL need 75% TUs to Launch? If so, its a step back from the Blaster Launcher, which requires 80% TUs to use the Aimed mode...but the Launch mode takes 66%, and supersedes the aimed mode. Arrow Quivershaft 22:58, 26 February 2009 (CST)

Sunny Beach! We really need to explain this issue better because I keep forgetting. Listed Aimed TU% is indeed 75%, however because of the "Waypoint" and "Launcher" flag in OBDATA.DAT, it is nullified and becomes 66%. So I guess the launch modes are identical.

IIRC, the DPL and BL do not have normal accuracy, instead they have "drift" while flying between waypoints. This means even your accuracy 1 soldier with 6 fatal wounds on his arm will be able to have a pretty accurate blaster bomb/ DPL torpedo. As compared to such a soldier firing an autocannon or rifle, which can sometimes lead to him shooting at like 90 degrees to the target... Jasonred 23:41, 26 February 2009 (CST)
