Just read the Titans; Assault vs. Defend and noticed that LionEyez commented that it's bad juju when you park a titan over a missile silo.

Also, NEVER park your Titan directly above a silo, the fired missile will hit your hull regardless to whom the silo actually belongs.
The last time I commanded I noticed when I moused over the silo that belong to my team, lines would direct toward the enemy titan. The opponent captured silos when moused over would point to our team's titan.

So, a little experiement I'd like to try is have your own titan be in the line of fire. Will your own missles damage your own titan if you're in the line of fire?

Before I do this, I just wanted to see if there was any feedback if anyone tried?

This is a guess, but I doubt the missiles actually do damage to your own Titan. I expect they just don't reach the enemy Titan.

If you place your Titan in the way of a missile and it dosnt have room to move then it will hit you. For example parking the titan over a silo will cause the missile to launch and not have enough time to change course meaning it hits you causing you damage. To that effect if the enemy titan attempts to stick close to the edges it is possible to sneek your titan behind it so that any incomming missiles have a 'chance' of hitting the enemy titan regardless of who owns the silos.

All that means that there are, as always, pros and cons to placing the titan in the combat zone. Its can provide support but it will take less time for the misiles to reach it and, if your commanders stupid, there is the danger of them being placed foolishly therefore putting the titan in more danger.

But its my opinion that Titans should be in the combat zone if used wisely as they can effectivly hold silos themselves using the cannons. Plus their AA forces enemy air assets to watch how they fly. Though Titans should if wanting to be fuly effective be fully manned in every gunner position.

Wow, I've been quoted.

Yes, I *think* I've read this exact topic in one of the gametips,like tyler said (to the extend of: never park your titan directly above a silo or you will get hurt). I've seen it happen too, particularly with the middle silo.
