Attacking Gray mann?

Alright, you know how on the top of that hill you can see that carrier thingy? (I am not sure if it's a giant tank transport or a ship.)
So now that you are attacking Gray mann's transports and facilities.

So attacking the transports I guess works like this.
There is a community made map called convoy which is two cars in a highspeed chase. So what attacking the transports is would be essentially a car chase. You are on your own car/tank/truck/whatever and you are firing at the transport to slow it down.
Once you cripple the transport you can then pick up a bomb and drop it in a hole in the transport.

Attacking Gray mann's robot factories is basically CP against robots and whatever defenses Gray has set up. You win by CPing all the CPs.

the two "cars" on convoy are actually stationary. The world around it is moving (and textures are scrolling) so it just appears as if they are moving. if the cars were actually moving, it'd be a lot more difficult to move around without your character being jittery and you wouldn't be able to build on the cars.

as cool as the the idea is you have to think could it technically work without Destroying your System.

Little bit of fun headcanon: The reason mannco refuses to attack gray is because they're building up a case to sue gray for multiple reasons.

Patent infringement: Saxton hale invented robots, Who said gray could produce them?

Destruction of property: How many unguarded facilities did that scrawny little brainiac's robots destroy?

Illegally reproducing mannco products, Look at all those miniguns/rocket launchers/every other weapons carried by the robots, You honestly think gray BOUGHT all of those?

Tl;dr, Saxton sues the ♥♥♥♥ out of gray and the nerdy ♥♥♥♥er goes bankrupt... Defeated he somehow finds a job working for mannco as bidwell's personal butler.

The idea was to invent another game/map not to make an opportunity to enrich lore.

Too bad, Poorly written lore about tomfoolery and lawsuits > gameplay.

No I have never worked with hammer and actually don't know who/what that is.
