jes a repair vehicle would be cool too, if he get close to you he could raipar all your damaged step by step and it would take some Min's.
but than supply are only need to get new ammo, but if we have a bergepanther ..why not??

a nother thought in this direction would be a truck which could pull your damaged airplan out of the mud back on the runway so you dont need to ditch.....@ oleg i dont think at the score.....it would only luck nice if there were more life on the airfields...maybe this truck ware able to fix your damage in some Min's.....OK OK i can easy take a new bird but for me i like it to fly the same bird for a few hour's, so my motivation get higher and higher to save my life and so i fly more realistic..i think .....and this would be a step to improve the gameplay because with a bird which i fly a few hoers i will never try a HO.......and with that 5min birds i will do it earlyer i think.

and another thought would be a fire dept. if you fight the fire in a hanger you can lower his down time for example.....

Instead of making firetrucks, just modify the tanks to shoot water instead of HE, AP, or Smoke rounds. Don't forget to have a certain amount of water availible.

i dont understant why you dont like this idea...did you never have situations like that??? i can imagine.

A lot of times, of course. I just either ask for supples or exit. Never feel I need to be towed. I dont see how it can make game better :huh

btw, i never said i dont like your idea (in fact, dont care much). I said it quite unlikely to be implemented.

every option you get more would be made the game better to you, i think. i think i would use it 1 time per week, ok its not much but if i need it i will use it and you too im sure.
mostly my father and i drive a tiger and we have alot of situation were we could use this option because he is in a tiger and im in a tiger and no frindly is arond to bring suply or suply is out. it is realy sad that im not able tow my father home, so he need to ditch his tank.
but you are right the majoriti wouldn t use this option and so it will made the game better only for a small group.

Repair vehicles are a good idea - it shows team spirit. It's a bit like the idea of being able to pick up downed pilots and return them to base (to claim most of their perks even). It'll add a little more complexity to the game and give us a for more different ways of playing it.
Here we are, living on top of a molten ball of rock, spinning around at a 1,000mph, orbiting a nuclear fireball and whizzing through space at half-a-million miles per hour. Most of us believe in super-beings which for some reason need to be praised for setting this up. This, apparently, is normal.

ok, its my own fault, but every tank can tow a damaged tank if its need in real life. it would be only a nice option. sure you can bring suply 70miles away but towing a few meters would be a better option i think. ;).
and often its only a few meters to bring your tank back in savety, and often suplys are not an option, expezialy if your field is under attack.
i want it only as an nice extra option. and be sure it would be used alot by the hardcore tank drivers.

an other wish is, every tank crew can fix his track yourself, if you lost your track you sould be able to fix it in about 15-20 min.

cu chris3
why if you are 70 miles away i dont want to wait 10 mins to have a friendly gv come and take you to safety. just ask for a goon to come drop vh supplies

sure that's true. towing of gvs makes only sense if your Buddy stands beside you  ;).
for example: my dad and i drive often tiger and lately it hapens that he got tracked near the v field we have just captured. he was only 100 yards away from the runway. we cant get supply at this base and the base were the troops cam from was fresh porket. so no one could bring us supply in about 20min. it had been so easy if i were able to tow my dad on the runway were he can land save.

other situation you got tracked and you squady can pull you out of the fire or in a better position until the supplycar arrives.

i think it would be a nice extra option for the gv game play!

...and it happens again, my squadys and i was in a great gv fight and supply was close to my position. one of my squadys was 600yards in front of me in a tiger, he got tracked and was out of the supply range, and new supplies was disabled  :frown:.
If i were able to tow him back a few yards, he were able to take the supply but with out this option he get killed after a few minutes.

It wont work even if they put it in because if the tiger can be hit so will you.  :devil

If tanks were limited in numbers, this might be a valid wish.  But, since items come in endless supply, there's no point to "saving" a tank by towing it for a safe landing.

I think this might be a good idea, these things increase the realism of the game, and for some the fun. There are days when you would like to do more than up a plane, kill and get killed, end up in tower, repeat ad nauseum.  What more, if someone choses to tow a squaddie back to a safe are, and you bomb them while doing so, you get 2 kils instead of one! I also thing that things like being able to dispatch a jeep or goon to pick up a ditched friend would be fun too (put some incentive in to make people want to do things like this).
