History PlayingWith / TacticalSuperweaponUnit

* '''Downplayed''': The SS ''Tropenought'' and the ''Juggernaut'' Land-Battleship function similarly to a KingmakerScenario; Even though it's not obscenely powerful, having it on your side makes ''you'' as such.

** The SS ''Tropenought'' is actually a Super WorkerUnit, meant for rapid resource exploitation, colonization, and disaster recovery. It's so dawggone big because it builds big things, but can't hurt a fly.

** ''Tropenaut'' is actually a Super WorkerUnit, meant for rapid resource exploitation, colonization, and disaster recovery. It's so dawggone big because it builds big things, but can't hurt a fly.

** The Emperor decrees that ''Tropenought'' and ''Juggernaut'' crews must ask for surrender before commencing an assault.

** The Emperor decrees that ''Tropenaut'' and ''Juggernaut'' crews must ask for surrender before commencing an assault.

** Juggernauts are intended to uproot deeply dug-in enemy positions. They're armed with re-purposed battleship turrets armed with three 200mm cannons, with coaxial [[GatlingGood vulcan cannons]] (and for the rare times when even THAT isn't enough, they can launch a tactical nuke), and protected by an experimental armor kit. As a side-effect, they slap lesser tanks into scrap metal with one shot, and as far as infantry are concerned, it's just too big to fight. They're also equipped with CIWS for the inevitable retalliation by aircraft and cruise missiles.

* '''Enforced''': It's a good reward for those who like playing the long game and saving enough resources to let out one of the most devastating units on the field.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Look, you want the SS ''Tropenought''? You're gonna have to pay up, bub."

** There's some clever use of antigravity to make ''Juggernaut''s as light as any other tank despite their brobdignaggean size. Replacing its exhaust-spewing deisel engines with Small, Modular Reactors also solves the pollution issues.

* '''Parodied''': For some bizarre reason, you can hire a [[{{Countrystan}} Wikistani]] AcePilot known as [[TheGrimReaper Reaper 1]], and the cost is ludicrously high for such a lowly fighter plane (or possibly even Mighty Mouse for that matter), being even more costly than both the SS ''Tropenought'' and the ''Juggernaut'' Land-Battleship combined! But then, once you ''do'' manage to hire Reaper 1, you can expect to watch in shock and awe as the mercenary [[OneManArmy singlehandedly manages to wipe out every enemy with ease]].

** The ''Juggernaut'' Land-Battleship is a [[TankGoodness tank]] able to take on whole armies and have a decent chance of winning.

* '''Discussed''': "Why is this so big? And does it really need ''all'' of these guns?"
* '''Conversed''': "Because you always need MoreDakka; from as many big and rapid-firing guns as you can manage."

* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???

** Juggernauts are a nightmare to clean up after, as they do nasty things to infrastructure just getting around and belch out so much pollution that they're the vehicular equivalent of a WalkingWasteland. Their huge guns are, in a word, inordinate, leading to massive collateral damage.

* '''Inverted''': While small and only being capable of doing damage through a constant and rapid stream of projectiles, the [[PintSizedPowerhouse Mighty Mouse]] is comically cheap, allowing for ZergRush tactics.

* '''Defied''': You are always given a free SS ''Tropenought'' at the start of every match, just because.

* '''Exaggerated''': Buying the SS ''Tropenought'' is an InstantWinCondition for any match, and the entire goal is to get enough resources and money to even build the thing.

* '''Straight''': The SS ''[[TheDreadedDreadnought Tropenought]]'' is ludicrously powerful at the cost of being tough to deploy and rather limited at that.

* '''Justified''': The SS ''Tropenought'' is PoweredByABlackHole and huge by necessity, so it needs more weapons to cover more angles of attack from those pesky rebels and feds. Might as well make its primary armaments wave-motion cannons, and slap on that experimental super-shield too, since there's petawatts of energy to throw around, and suddenly you have a TacticalSuperweaponUnit ready to rock.
