**The vehiclening of TGMC**

Walance doc in the implementation of vehicles in the game

In this doc I'll explain the overall goal and walance of vehicles.
Thanks to tivi, multitile vehicles are back in town, so in an effort to move TGMC ever fowards I've decided that they should get added into standard gameplay, but I can see you asking "Kuro vehicles are terrible, I hate them, how are you gonna make them fun?"
Well, idk, but I'll try.

# The Basics

* Two new roles will be added, Attack Vehicle Crew and Support Vehicle Crew, which will be responsible for the overall usage of vehicles and their related activites. The ammount of VC's in any given round is up for debate, but since vehicles need 2 people to operate (mostly) it will be more than 4.
* Vehicles will be separated into 2 groups Attack and Support. The VCs, at the start of the game, can spawn one vehicle of each category, related equipment is free unless specified otherwise. Obviously Support VC will spawn a support vehicle, and attack VC will spawn a attack vehicle.
* Support vehicles provide a mobile defensible position that can support marines with logistcs, transport or groundside medical care and etc. Attack vehicles provide offense, duh.
* Ramming does not stun xenos, instead it flings xenos away after doing some damage.

## The Ramming

Ram does melee damage, does double damage to Rwalls, normal damage to everything else.

* Light (Jeep) 100
* Medium (LVRT, APC, etc) 200
* Heavy (Tank and anything in that weight class) 300
* Super Heavy (Heavy hover tank) 400

## The Xenos (wait what)

Yeah ok so how are xenos gonna deal with these guys, as we all know the main source of hatred of vehicles come from the fact that they are mobile multi tile blockers, and also hard to kill.
But TGMC has a sekrit solution to this, a very basic function, the jump.
So xenos are simply gonnna be able to jump on top and out of vehicles, while on top, the vehicle itself cant hit said xeno, only marines from outside of it can shoot it down. Of course humans can also jump on top of vehicles.
Some xenos have special interactions with vehicles. Acid spits deal regular damage. Gas also deals regular damage. Charge moves like crusher charge deal double damage.
Resin spit, or resin in general, slows down vehicles by 2 SECONDS to move delay.
Neuro, and non acid gasses in general, dont affect vehicles.
Abilities that slow down (like puppeteer fear), or confuse (like kingus confuse), deal a similar effect on vehicles.

Effects of specific abilities

Crusher - Immune to being pushed&ram damage
Rav ravage - Deals additional damage against vehicles due to hitting it 3 times if in the middle of the hitbox
Crusher charge - Deals heavy damage against vehicles
Defender fortify - Immune to being pushed&ram damage
Rav charge - Additional damage?
Queen screech - Prolonged stun of crew (might already get stunned)

## The FF

Only guns with mentioned IFF are IFF, otherwise they are not.
Marines can only shoot over vehicles if they have IFF.
Mobs on top of vehicles do not need IFF to shoot over said vehicle.

## The Jumping

Mobs can jump on top of vehicles, they can move on top of it and can jump down to return to ground.
Human mobs however cannot stay on top of vehicles that are in movement, if a vehicle moves while a human mob is on top, said human mob will be flinged off, the flinging will either be from center of tank or on opposite side of movement. Some vehicles will be the exception to his rule, but the vehicle description will mention that.
Xenos on the other hand are not affected, and can stay on top of vehicles indefinetly.
While xenos or humans are on top of a vehicle, they can initiate a channel to forcefuly open the hatch/window and enter the interior of said vehicle.

# The Vehicles
## Support
### Jeep

The most basic of vehicles, Jeep can hold up to 5 passengers, is moderatly fast, lightly armored, and can have some modifications. This vehicle has no inherent offense although marines can shoot out of it. While inside Jeep, if its moving, shooting out of it will incur a scatter and accuracy penalty.
