dead horse GV complaints

[c H e F]

I love the game, been here since 99. Thanx for the game..stroke pat hug.

OK enough with the Hugo autotrans in the tanks. We aren't women. At least give us the options of manual or auto shifting.
The tanks do not pivot as they would in reality. In reality you can dump the clutch and get a fast stationary pivot to throw everyone inside to the side walls if you wanted to. the pivot should be violent if we want it to be.OK, if you pivot too much you bottom out just like reality.. something needs to be done about it.

You have neutered the tanks like some gay carnival ride in Philadelphia full of lawyers waiting to litigate if you have any real fun. Real fun is getting closest to reality you can get.
Fix the stupid "point blank bug" which has a round go harmlessly right through the tank while 50 feet away. That is miserable.
The T34 encounters a slight grade and its balls drop off. Wuts with that?
You push "W" to advance and it's like constipation that never crowns. Where's the horsepower?
Stop allowing banana trees & $5 homedepot plantings to bring 50 tons of steel at 30 mph to an abrupt stop.
Then if you are crawling very slowly and hit a hedge...you flip upside down.  
That is absolutely shameful. Fix it dammit.

Real tanks make the trees snap like the twigs they are...seen many a tank do that and they went inside French buildings without ringing a doorbell just to eat lunch.
The sites/reticules on the T34/85...wuts with them?
OK if kids are complaining about it being too difficult, then make a kid's arcade map, a beginner's room...no need for juveniles to change the whole game for us too.

you're knowledge of tanks is astounding...not

It would help of you gave data (and presented your wishes a little more respectfully).  No one argues that bushes shouldn't flip tanks.  But for other wishes, like the one quoted above, you could present some kind of data.  In this case I found a YouTube video of a T34/85 making a full 180 deg in place turn in about 9 seconds.  The AH version takes 11 seconds; 10 seconds if you let it accelerate straight forward a bit before turning.  The main difference is the AH tank seems to accelerate slower than the real one, especially in first gear from a standstill, but that's hard to quantify from videos.

I gave a similar list a few years ago. Results? Zip 1 respect 0
Coddling & nurturing or development & documentation are not my job.
My job is paying the monthly fee & killing others "respectfully". 
Go jump into the beta-male respect lake.

We should be able to dump the clutch in a tank?

because thats you think that thats realistic?

do you want them to drive like your moms station wagon too?

[gyrene81]

aaaand you fail 360 degrees chef...though others would agree with some aspects, your delivery is juvenile at best...like an angry little child. your knowledge of ww2 tanks is worse than zero...take a real close look at those "hills" you keep trying to drive up then look at the real life specs on the tanks...i.e. max incline for the sherman is 60% grade or approximately 32 degrees...and that's in first gear crawling.

in case you're not aware of what it looks like...


of course the new gv system isn't perfect...but if you're going to state your case, use factual data, not uneducated opinion.

[badhorse]

I agree the delivery was less than delicate, but I agree with the premise. Give us back the manual transmissions.  Please

I'd imagine those responsible for "documentation" do not have any that support your fantasies.

I also do not see the fascination with a "manual" transmission other than the tank stops accelerating automatically when it reaches top speed in any particular gear whereupon you need to push a button to accelerate more.

Is that really "manual"?

Essentially can't you still "stop accelerating" at a certain point now by manipulating the W and S key?

Maybe the "automatic" is just too complicated for same. It takes too much "manual" input perhaps?

I for one would love to hear of your personal experience with tanks during your time
a.) in the Army
b.) restoring and driving vintage armored vehicles
c.) designing and testing armored vehicles for an arms manufacturer.

Any of the above?

Bueller?

In my 5+ years of playing, I've never once flipped a tank off a tree, down a cliff is a whole different story. Is it that hard to learn how to avoid them?
With the gunsight on the T-34/76 and T-34/85, those are the gunsights that were actually used in those tanks. Hopefully you realized that, and aren't as stupid as you make yourself out to be.

Also, please do not think you'll get anywhere with your blatant and seemingly intentional lack of respect here. This isn't some place where you just piss on the floor and mark your territory. Regardless what you think, there are rules and decorum that should (for the most part) be adhered to. (I don't know if I used decorum correctly, just always wanted to use that word, )

One last thINg, who had the Skuzzy signal last? They need to brINg it over here and plug it IN.

I have flipped a tank on many occasions trying to roll and evade. This GVing takes time to adapt to.

Saw a few complaints last night on T34s getting stuck in the middle of a gentle slope.

Here's how it happens.

Climb hill......hill get's marginally steeper....still climbing but auto trans. causes tank to slow greatly so driver climbs hill at angle.....tank does not speed up....driver attempts to point tank downhill....tank grinds to halt........tank will not move at all forward or backward or pivot.....tank stuck on gentle slope.

[STEELE]

Sherman can handle a 60 degree incline? That's very impressive actually!

you don't know the difference between percent and degree?  read it again...

Was it one of those 45^o gentle slopes?

There are very few gentile slopes in game that you would actually recognise as a slope.

I look at the trees to determine slope angle.
