#4436 : [VPAC] TCML\'s Napalm

UNOFFICIAL INTODUCTION!
Vertu is planning to make a proper introduction for it.

Chosen to be the Tester of this new weapon designed for crowd-control. The VWC (and Vertu) are proud to introduce this new missile type. Time to head out and see it for you self.
A new model of V-Lab will be assisting you in the mission. It'll be better than the previous model, well only in the SCM way. Appears mid-mission, on the first hill in 5 minutes.

Map is designed for the use of the new missile payload for TCML: The Napalm Payload
Brief description:
Explodes mid-air, leaves a lingering fire TOWARDS direction. Crowd control specialty. Affects both Creep and AC. Destroys most VPAC structures, includes vanilla ones.

V-Tech, VPAC, and such by Vertu.

Ok, I've tried them, and to be honest, I'm not convinced the way they are working now.
It's a cool and novel effect, but the idea of TCML is chirurgical precision and deadly blow in one expensive unit. With napalm you have a hit-or-miss, and the shield like effect makes it impractical to use to gain control over an area, because when the napalm subsides, and the creeper can flow over the area, the units are already reconnected.

#

Additionally there seems to be a bug or something, every now or then one of the missiles seem to decide "screw that" and go somewhere in space and not on their target, happening with both targeting settings.

after I thought about it, how about make it a cheaper unit, reduce the spread and payload amount a bit, let it still nuke creep and anticreep but remove that shield like effect and let the burning areas just kill creep or anticreep flowing in

Why do my TCML missiles yeet themselves off the map?

Ahem, sorry about that. I "curiously" tampered with the TCML.

But best you could do is place them under 5 ground level.
