You don't know what a ? means do you... I'll give you the punctuation for dummies definition, it is a question mark meaning a question was asked not that a statment was made.

Again, there is no throttle control on the ground vehicles in AH. You can move your throttle lever all you want, it will not change your speed. If you want to change speed you have 2 choices, stop, or whatever maximum speed a gear gives you. What you asked for is to be able to change speed by shifting gears from a position other than the driver's position.


You should really try using that thing on the top of your neck for something besides a pie hole storage device.

Talking about arcade game.  Lots of fighters could land over 10 kills every sorty.  Crappy ones only one or two.

Nice attempt at spin.  After all the sarcastic references such as "go play the Wii if you want so much arcade action" I'm supposed to take your question as an actual question instead of a sarcastic statement posed as a question.

Gotcha.

If you expect a civil answer, then why don't you yourself start using that thing on top of your own neck and act in a more civil manner yourself.  Assuming there is anything inside of it, that is.

And, oh, that's right, since I said I would like to be able to use throttle control, obviously it does not exist in the game today.  Thank you Mr. Obvious.

I think you earned at least one more  :rolleyes:

If you guys want something to be anal about you should probably skip gauges. I don't think that HTC has ever payed anything more than a passing interest in historical accuracy in the gauges and instruments, it's all about gameplay and ease of playability.

I'd rather have you explain how having full control over the tank from any position is adding anything but more arcade control. You also want to be able to move the turret and fire the main gun from the commanders hatch as well? It's bad enough that there isn't any real throttle control to begin with. Now if you had said let us control the speed from any position using dot commands or a menu system to simulate giving orders to the driver, that would be less arcade than what you're wanting.
Its called a commanders over ride . There is even a simple sight for him to use for aiming . Look on pics of M4's it looks like a lopsided u with the short end towards the TC . How would typing or scrolling better represent the teamwork of a crew ? While you are obviously intelligent , you are completely ignorant on this subject . Please go ahead and ask me how I know this . Before you do look and see what types of AFV's the Koreans had in stocks during the 80's . I can safely say you are blowing it out your 3rd point of contact here .
