An Idea For Light Tanks
« on: April 02, 2007, 03:37:58 PM »
It would be a great addition to have landing craft that could be piloted by a person that would control the tank inside, or be a spawn point once reaches the shore.  It would be cool if we could do this for tanks like the sherman and M-8, so we wouldn't have to drive all the way.

Yep, landing crafts have been suggested before, and would make a nice addition :)

My idea for steering:

- Landing craft and tank are piloted by the same player
- View from within the tank
- Steer the landing craft with the rudder axis (like you steer the bombers from a gunners position)
- Use throttle for the landing craft's speed.
- As soon as you are grounded, you can drive out of the landing craft (with normal gv steering)

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.
