you just want the mega zoom function and the ability to drive up steep hills...admit it.

The biggest thing about gv's being "gamey" is the ability to absolutely turn your

own sound off and be able to turn the enemy noise up.

I did not know you could do that. That explains allot.  

BTW.....I vote we keep the tanks the way they are. I like the view from position 1

much better than the previous version.

A couple of things regarding that:

First, the TC and the AA gunner are not always the same position.  Secondly, the AA gunner under the old system did not make the turret traverse wherever he looked.  Having the TC concept is far more representative of the real deal than the prior system which was like having 1 guy bounce around from position to position.  

And it is not like this in most multiple-position aircraft?

The ground vehicle mechanics and the air vehicle mechanics ought not be compared, for they are not even remotely the same. They are, quite literally, worlds apart in how they play out in real life.

Seeing as how each individual gunner in a bomber acts on their own accord, trying to draw a comparison between aircraft and tank crews and how they work their station might not be too fruitful.  As Krusty already said, they are worlds apart in how they operated in the real world.  The pilot didnt have to tell a gunner to engage the oncoming enemy fighter.

i want our gvs to have the detail our plains do.

some people forget that most bombers in ww2 flew in formations so you had hundreds of eyes looking everywhere.  even with f3 view we dont even match how it was really in ww2 as they could see in all directions at all times and shoot in all directions at all times.

Up a Tiger-2 or a Panzer, or even a LVT. those tanks are pretty well detailed.

no. i mean the way planes are. like we can control throttle and rpm in planes they are not linked like they are in GV,s if a plane had fixed landing gear then when give it fixed gear if it had alieron flaps (I16) we give it alerion flaps. but if a tank has a manual tranny we give it a auto. if it had a 4wd drive option (jeep,m3/m16) we just give it 2wd drive. see what i mean. they put more thought in planes than gvs.

tanks dont have throttle and rpm. and they took some of that out to pump out more GV's for us to use.

they have throttle. and they have a RPM gauge.

[skorpion]

they have throttle. and they have a RPM gauge.

please give me a picture of both of those.

Gamey?  Nah, not quite.  The biggest thing about gv's being "gamey" is the ability to absolutely turn your own sound off and be able to turn the enemy noise up.

The current view offers the player to be in the role of "tank commander", unbuttoned of course.  The old way was far too restrictive with no continuity between the different positions within the tank.  As it is now, only the TC and gunner really swap positions.

Leave it as is, imo. 

this is exactly why it is the way it should be.    the old way was like having one person in the tank going from position to position to position.     restrictive and overall unrealistic in comparison.
