Strategic holes in UT2k4 onslaught that CUT could fill

Well, first off I just want to say that the single most strategic thing you could do is to make a fast anti vehicle-vehicle. Basically, powerful, slow dumbfire missiles toting jump-craft like a modified manta or a completely new hovervehicle. So you have dedicated heavy vehicle killers specially vulnerable to infantry and somewhat to mantas and scorps.

Then, if you go all out with fleshing out the airspace, we could have dedicated anti-aircraft units with nominal protection from ground forces. The potential to one up perfection is such a possibility

what about anti infantry vehicles?

A weak vehicle with globes flyin around it that destroy rockets,avrail and deemers in a small radius around it

yeah, seriously! That could definately be worth something since besides the manta there is little dedicated anti-infantry vehicles, that are very effective against infantry but weak vs vehicles. And you have this idea of a defense field vehicle, perhaps a futuristic semi with a large radiation field-emitter on the back that kills solid weaponry and hurts infantry (even in the partially exposed hellbender, manta, and scorpion.

I'm just fixated on the idea of a dedicated tank killer because there isnt really a vehicle that fills that role. This way we'd have more rock paper scissors with goliath piolots actually having a concrete counter. Raptors do this quite well, but it'd also be nice to have a ground-based defense system.

I love that Idea.
perhaps there could be a Vehicle trailer semi-vehicle that moves obscenely slow , but can be latched onto the back or side of any other vehicle (or mounted between two raptors Raptor) and fills an assortment of roles

as a base , it could be a simple flat trailer with a long magnetic platform on the top , that can be spun by 180 degrees and can extend upwards by 1024 uu's. The trailer could come with several possible options. it could have a ramp on the rear so that it could be used to carry another vehicle . Or it could have two or three mounted turrets on it that could be destroyed one at a time. or the aforementioned Radiation generator . Or it could just be a mobile platform for people to ride.

Also , due to its ablility to spin and raise , it could have a ladder mounted on the side , so that it could be used on certain maps to bridge gaps or make entryways over high walls.
