Tow truck or hydraulic ram
« on: January 26, 2005, 09:48:18 PM »
We need a Tow truck added to gvs or a (put you back on your tracks hydraulic Ram option) in the hanger  for the Tanks..  These are nessary for the attacking trees that are all over the place.. You know the ones, they tip you over when you touch their bark, with in seconds they have you seeing upside down.

 Getting tipped over in Tanks is  way too easy,  Its most special when you've drove 15 min or more and one of these deadly trees take you out before getting to the battle.  usually no m3's with supplies around to save you from tree death.  

So a server ran tow truck to re-right you or a hydraulic ram attached to turret to re-right you would be cool.  :)   I'm willing to use anything , jet rockets on turret, or be able to exit tank and roll it back on tracks,  point gun to ground and blast it back over on tracks,  anything except having to tower and redrive to battle just to have a tree attack me again and the tree wins.. again...    >;^(        I just know the rockets on turret is gunna be the fix!! cool!!   :)

Supplies do right you.
But I think the point should be how ridiculously easy it is to roll a tenk or even an Osty for that matter.
Factor in that yet again last night I bounced a round off an M3 from less the 800, and I think we can all conclude that GVs still have a LONG way to go.
Strange how they never end up on their sides ALWAYS on their turrets, limitation of gv model?

I'd have to agree. though usually it only happens when I'm going at speed.
Though it has happened when crawling along on occasion.
Almost as annoying is when it throws you back and spins you like a top.

What it should do is just make you come to a sudden stop like when your heading downhill.

For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty

I like your idea Tactic, I've long wished for this option too.
Just load a supply truck with a crane or something and tip the tank back on it's tracks!
(might be done by other tanks as well)

What I'd like to see too, is a truck which can tow aircraft around.
This way, when you had troubles and lost your engine during the landing and got off the runway, you could ask someone to pull you back :)

(And fueltrucks, ammo loader grunts etc! :D )

A tank recovery vehicle would be nice, put a tank back on its tracks, repair damage (provided they had supplies on board) and haul a disabled tank back to base (if they had used up the onboard supplies) this way the tanker would get his kills and the TRV would get a bonus perk.

Only thing would be the operator should get  perk points for every tank they rendered aid to, because you would most definitely be a prime target to other GV's and aircraft.

Yep, the work should be rewarded.

Mostly because hauling a disabled tank 15 miles back to a base doing 10mph....would get boring :)
