Video of some upcoming tank changes

[iwomba]

So if you are in the exposed commanders position does that mean you die easier?

I have no proof of this but when in the drivers position or hull gun it sometimes felt you lived longer then when in the pintle or turrent positions. Just something you get a general feeling for after years of playing & may not be technically accurate.

Seems like nothing has changed with AH especially with all those that are inept at multi tasking (or are too lazy) support any changes that dumb the game down a bit. Plus they rubbish anyone that doesn't like a change for whatever reason be it valid or not valid.

GVing , although limited , did require some learning & some level of skill. Just seems a bit too easy now although some of the new features will be good.

Still a long way to go before I will  ever play again.

Ummm... not kidding but may have the range off. Its probably closer to seven to ten miles (far beyond icon range). M4s rule the roost right now. Panzers and Tigers... not at all.

you're kidding right? The reason the Tigers cant do what they used to is because no one knows that a tiger was a STAND OFF WEAPON and not a close infighter like the m4s and panzers. they were meant to sit 2K-3K back and shoot everyone out in an open field. I was near a spawn last night (actually not camping the spawn itself) and i got 32 kills in a tiger and went home to land em. just because i sat 2,000 yards off and picked the enemy off before they got to me

will everyone stop saying M-18 in this thread!!!

you're making me wet myself

Im talking about long range shelling Bar. A tiger cannot raise its barrel anywhere near far enough. An M4-75 cant kill much of anything right? But at 6 miles (10k) you can saturate an area with HE and with 100 rds that means four hangars if you have perfect ranging. Hopefully this will not change with the new setup.

it should be fine still from what the video showed.

This all looks like a good thing to me. The GV's were in bad need of updating.

Always improving, great job! Look forward to it. Heck I may even jump in a tank.

Not really.  I always liked to take a Sherman and park it right next to a tree with low hanging branches.  From the commanders and/or pintle position all I could see were tree branches but from the main turret I had a clear field of view.  That capability will now be lost and I'll have to park in the open.

We'll rename you "Wrongy McWrongenstein."

You still have the main gun view from inside the turret, just like before. You still have the pintle gun position, just like before. The only difference is now you drive from the commander's position instead of the driver's seat in the front of the tank, and from the commander's position you can manipluate the turret (but no fire the main gun).

Come back soon.  I have a bomb with your name on it.

For me the upcoming changes sound good overall.

Looking forward to trying it out.

It is not that they do not like, but that they do not have the ability to understand.......

Whoa whoa whoa, listen here buddy......I completley understand the point. But why change what is already great? The GV battles are phenomenal. I don't see a reason to change it. A little respect would be nice too.

My comment wasn't directed at you specifically, but generally... I've read a lot of comments here by people saying that they don't like the changes and think it is "dumbing down" - and the comments they make about what "is and is not" are factually incorrect - such as the comment above that the view from inside the turret would be gone.

The GV aspect of this game could be made a lot better, and I think the changes are a HUGE step foward. I say don't cock yer leg and pi$$ on them until you've tried them.

I think its taking away the gv portion of the game. Its kinda like 'hey! Lets go into the commander position, oh i see something! Lets put our joystick on it and shoot without getting into the turret!!'

New changes look great from what I can see. Now all we have to do is wait 2 weeks!!!

You have fired the main gun from the commander's position?
