GV Autopilot
« on: April 12, 2012, 05:43:34 AM »
moin

just a idea comes to my mind.
It would be nice if we get roads between the Fields and if you drive at this road with your gv it will stay on this road and will head the direction the road goes. So going afk and reaching some places were normally tanks will not attack would be possible.

what do you think?

We had something called "heading hold"   It was a way to point your GV in one direction and it was 'supposed' to hold that direction.  In practice I found it really didnt do much at all.

If we didn't have it in planes, you better make the bases closer. I'm not spending 10 minutes watching blue and green go by.

Put the tank in gear and let it run to full speed. Switch to the hull MG or MG on the turrent and let it run its course straight ahead

He doesn't want a straight route type - he wants the tank to follow the roads (WATCH OUT FOR RESUPPLY CONVOYS!)

Heading Hold sucked...if you were going along the edge of a hill laterally, it would not hold at all. You had to have tree-less & sometimes bush-less terrain or it was useless. Only time I used it was in an M-16 while shooting at a strafing plane....the way it is now is better because you can twisty turn the GV while firing.  :old:
