Bug Description

I always thought that the magnetron's dropping from 1000 feet and the tank unharmed is a little bit odd. So I suggest a drop damage tag for waves so when an object hits the ground it could play an anim and deal damage. Perhaps:

[WaveWeapon]
Wave.DropDamage=50
Wave.DropAnim=dirtexp

At least have damage, the anim is just a side thing.

I think this would make more sense if it were controlled globally rather than per-weapon, like this:
[General]
FallDamage=20 ;base damage applied to a dropped unit
FallDamagePerCell=20 ;additional damage applied per cell height dropped
FallDamageWarhead=FallDamageWH ;the warhead used to apply the damage to the dropped unit. This can include a sound/impact anim/etc (although impact anim should only be shown if landing on empty ground)
...with the values defaulting to zero of course

Good idea, but I still think weapon would be better. Maybe even modify the height with it, so you could make an advanced magnetron that drops it from a higher height or something.
