Model design and Nuclear Engines - 1/24/2022 6:58:21 PM

Can anyone explain what's required to add nuclear engines to a vehicle model?

I have the Fusion Engine tech and can add them to trucks, but Medium tanks and mobile artillery only have triple-electric engines as the most powerful engine.

These are base designs, as I'm still learning about what field testing improves upon. I wouldn't think it would require extensive field testing to be allowed to create a tank model that can field a nuclear engine, whereas it's not needed to put one on a truck.

Any suggestions?

Field testing does not allow additional model changes, it only improves base design. Unfortunately nuclear engines are restricted.

How are they restricted, and where can I find more information on that?

I'm not sure I understand why they'd be allowed for a truck, but not for a tank.

Nowhere except the actual model design screen. Nuclear engines on trucks are considered to be an oversight by many.

Ah. I see.

So should they be allowed for tanks? I don't see them available for medium tanks, at least, despite the GR Pattern units you can occasionally find. I was actually trying to copy one of those when I ran into this.

My mobile artillery design has a "very underpowered" engine since I can only put a triple electric engine on it.

Mostly I just want to confirm if it's intended that I can't use Nuclear engines on models, or which models I can use them on. I don't see anything in the manual that says they're restricted, and didn't find anything when I searched the forum either.

Basically only the heaviest vehicles can mount the nuclear engines. Heavy tanks, Monitor tanks, heavy walkers and the mobile shield. I agree, there should be a mention somewhere where you can use this technology.
