WE'RE GETTING THE T34/85!!!

[moot]

It probably would annoy a number of people if the map had to be downloaded over again everytime, though.

Moot, i would not use a diferient map layout, i would use a texture diffrence tho, winter "snow" autumn, summer .ect.

maby 4 major seasons.

or at least just winter/summer

[moot]

The thing I was getting at was tactical novelty.

[Nilsen]

What would be great is if HTC could coad at least some part in the middle of TT to be random.  Every arena reset, the ground clutter/buildings would be different.

Then you would need to dl new maps every time you log on, or atleast some extra files.

[moot]

I was thinking of some algorithm that arranges the terrain in TT based on a seed.  But a small file wouldn't really upset too many people either.  It could go against HT's habits of keeping everything encrypted in as few files as possible, though.

[Karnak]

Can't help though but be a little disappointed it's not a new plane we're getting. I know tanks must be infinitely easier to code. But to me, GV's are just drive point click shoot boom, really the same dynamic in every tank. Would much rather we stopped adding new GV's to the game and focused all attention on new aircraft instead.

I recall HiTech saying that the tank armor and interaction with shells is the most complex part of code in AH by a significant margin.

[Karnak]

It occurs to me that this is the first tank "progression" that we have in AH.  What I mean is where we have multiple models of the same unit, giving a progression over time.  We have this with many, many aircraft, but this is the first GV to get it.

Panzer IVs would be prime candidates for this too.  Shermans would also be a good one to see this on.

Roger that Karnak.  PZKW IV had many models as did the Sherman.  I'd like to see an "Easy 8" variant.

SDKFZ 251 did as well including a howitzer mount, at gun mount, AAA mount...  Could be real versatile to have those in the hangar.

No, I just get bored when people talk about tanking around.

Nothing worse than hearing some GVer on range talk about how he has been hiding behind a tree for 5 hours waiting for someone to come past him.

You get bored hearing people talk about tanking, but here you are, in a thread about a new tank, carrying on a back and forth conversation that stretches over a handful of posts, just to make sure we all get just how bored you are.  Got it.

That's just pandering to the minimum cost of development from HTC.  What matters is what the game actualy gets, what it benefits from - not adding what's quickest for HTC to model.  Adding GVs because they're related to existing variants (and thus quicker to implement) but otherwise next to useless, when truly useful variants/models could be developed.. that's a mistake.

Depends.  A Panzer IV D would be welcomed in the Early War Arena as all they have now is the T-34/76.  True, it wouldn't be much use in other arenas, but there and scenarios it would be.

Other vehicles likely follow the same pattern.

There are others that could be added that would only be useful in the Early War Arena or Early and Mid War Arenas, such as the Grant or Matilda or Panzer III.

Exactly. Nothing wrong with stating an opinion in a tank thread.

[moot]

Yep Karnak, reading back on the post I replied to, I dunno how I interpreted it like I did.

[sethipus]

I'd like to see some versions of the STUG.  I think it could be fun, look cool, and maybe change things up a little.
