Adjustable GV speed
« on: January 03, 2009, 04:35:24 PM »
that is my wish, it gets kinda hard to convoy with panzers, wirbles n' such when your in a faster vehicle, by pulling back on the joystick every few seconds, just because your our just a few MPH's over the max speed of the other tank

You have 4-6 gears to choose from.  Downshift and cruise in 4th instead of 6th.


Try it.

Yea I think this would be a great idea but i think the maximum speed would have to be kept for example a Panzer can go 0-25mph and an M3 cna do 0-57moh  :aok

M3 in Second gear cruises nicely with the panzers and wirbles.

Lvt is I think third gear.

Yes I'd love to see them bring GV's to the same level as PT boat.
With a throttle that works. Spawn points that are variable by fuel loaded.

(load 25% and you'd spawn out 5 miles in a given direction, load 75% and you'd be out 15, etc.

You know how many noobs ask "why can't I move?" in a gv because the gas isn't the same as the throttle? :rofl

I'd like the throttle to work with GVs too.
Easy in-game again.

IIRC, the fuel load is meaningless as it is now.  GV's never run out of fuel - you can take 25% and drive all day.

I like this idea.  It would be great to adjust speed when on a rolling attack in a tank for aiming stability and still be able to throttle up when needed.

. Spawn points that are variable by fuel loaded.

 a nice idea.........

I always liked the concept of a spawn road that was interactive in the map from the control tower. Ie if you have selected a vehicle and click on a "road" at a certain point then you spawn at that point along the road.

Fuel could then be brought into play as it is depleted by the length of the journey to the spawn point chosen.

Back on subject yes please throttle and gear control exactly as per a PT boat please plus use of my brakes for braking (and where realistic for turning)
