Ahem, first off: Alex, PLEASE stop making suggestions. For the love of balance, they are horrible.

Ok, now to the point. As for the new smoke on rocket pilots, I think it looks better now, and can actually be distinguished from airstrikes, but it has a slight bug. Sometimes after someone is killed, the smoke stays in the air, shooting downwards for a few seconds. Some examples:

http://home.cinci.rr.com/puyodead/wolf/shot0002.jpg

Also, the deployable MG42's are great (really help for defending would-be cows/large gold cashers), and so far, I have not seen them get exploited. But, I do see a window for them to be exploited. After your current gun is broken, and smoking, if you have the power bar energy for it, you can immediately place a new one. I suggest making it so a new one can't be placed untill the old gun has disapeared (only takes a few more seconds to disapear anyway, so it's only about a 3 or 4 second difference). Also, there is a bit of a bug/exploit for them... they can be placed, AND used underwater Shocked

. Of course, you can't use it for long (you'll drown), but it's still just a bit odd.

Otherwise, nice update, as usual.

the MG42s seem to have as much hp as a person, so they are kinda hard to exploit. great addition. props bunni

I really enjoy the guns. I play alot as an eng anyway, so now I have even more incentive to stay eng. Smile

Here's a suggestion for you to peruse.

Could you make an option to allow the guns to remain after the eng's death? You wouldn't want this enabled all the time, but I think it'd be fun to turn on every once in a while and have a full fledged mg emplacement battle. Twisted Evil

Of course there's a downside. Usually the gun is broken when the eng dies and he'd have to go fix it again.

maybe make it so that if they are destroyed for x amount of time they disapear...

Found another bug. I placed an MG42 by a thin wall (spawn houses on ice), and when you grabbed it, turned so you would be "in" the wall, and let go, you warp to the outside. But, you had to wait for a while before you could get un-stuck from the wall, but still, it was possible to warp through the wall.
