[TESLA] Alternative Special - Tesla Tank

[UntotenTheo]

"Prepare for rolling blackout!"

Loving the mod so far, and as a fan of RA2/YR, an idea came to mind...
An unlockable special that allows you to call in a Tesla Tank to temporarily aid you!

Highly aggressive and fairly mobile, unfortunately it has an actual health pool unlike the Tesla Coil...

Fires twin tesla coils as its main attack, which has a chance to temporarily stun whatever it hits.
Use Secondary on it to temporarily disable and damage the Tesla Tank in exchange for a large-scale ""EMP"" that stuns enemies and probably deals an extravagantly low amount of damage!
Maybe stuns done by the Tesla Tank could cause stunned targets to take more damage? (not from the source material but it'd be fun)

Disappears after some time, though ideally lasts longer than the Tesla Coil to offset it having actual health?
Prioritizes high-value targets, otherwise attacks whatevers closest to the player
Collision enabled so you can use it as a weird platform/vehicle if you want

I actually thought of a tesla tank before but I had no idea what to do with it. Idk if something that big would just be a minion like engi turrets. I would probably make you actually pilot it. Since I have the special upgrading the m2 thing going on, maybe the dynamic is you can actively do your upgraded m2, maybe at a shorter cooldown or just free.

Since it's been brought up I'll keep it in mind, but it'll probably be a ton of work so I'ma keep it as a hopefully maybe but not likely.
thanks thanks for playing and for the enthusiasm. Always happy to hear more if anything comes to mind.
