Pivot turning for tanks
« on: January 18, 2006, 01:15:17 AM »
Hm... the browser ate my first post somehow.  Anyway:  


It's been a few years since this thread:

That was back in AH1.  There were a couple other threads since then that mentioned this also, but mostly in passing.  Is there a chance this might be looked at in the future?  I do understand the focus on the CT at this time, and am assuming the ground war is not a priority.  The ability to pivot turn would just be a neat extra addition to those vehicles that could do it in real life.  It would let you present the front (and therefore most heavily armored) of your tank to multiple targets quickly, instead of waiting for the turret to slew.  And it would pave the way for turretless vehicles like the SU/ISU series, StuGs, and jagdpanzers since pivoting is critical for them.
