Tanks!!!!!
« on: November 29, 2008, 12:40:23 AM »
ok i wish that tanks could turn in a 360 degree pattern, by reversing one track, and and for the ones that couldnt do that could just lock one track up, because im tired of the tanks turning as it they had four wheels, and if you ask me it shouldnt be to much trouble to fix, when can assign certain buttons to do so like 'c' or 'v' just like a fighter planes wheels, get me, sometimes i need to go through my post to explain better.

What you speak of is called neutral drive. I don't think many tanks could do this in WWII but I think all of them could stop one track and move the other one. I may be wrong about "all of them", but Iv seen lots of films of tigers, and panthers doing it.

'All Of Them' is right because they had to slow one track down to turn anyways which could lead to a stop, but a few tanks could reverse one track, not sure which ones though

i dont know if t34's had actual nuetral drive, but they were noted for pulling over the top of a german fox hole and spinning in a tight circle until the walls collapsed and crushed the man inside. i have seen video footage of a t34 spinning like this and it could literally turn inside its own foot print. so i dont see why AH tanks shouldnt be able to do the same.
