for the love of god take this FPS tanking stuff away

[olds442]

im so tired of the new tank system. why must we settle for a gamey feel that feels like its from battlefeild? and why must a computer decide when too go up or down in gears>? ok keep the cammanders positon but make it so we can be int he drivers positon too. only good thing with new tank system is the sights....really. come on!

You can down grade your gears, try tapping the S button once, but then again you don't know very much about tanking if you haven't figured this much out.

As a community service, I ran the above statements through a translator and this is what came out.

"Why must I learn how to use the new GV system? It takes too long, and I hate to practice anything new!"

practice? a 3 year old could do it! you press one button and your set. your tank is even magically idling for you when you spawn! really. i know AH is about the planes. but this is just ridiculous

If its so easy how come you arn't very good?

I love the new tank system. it feels so much more like you are in command of a tank crew vs clumsily fumbling between crew positions like some amorphous blob. frankly it combined with the fun new sights has me in tanks much more than I used to.

the lack of interiors was a design decision to allow more vehicles to be added with the creative resources available. given the number of vehicles that have been added since this design decision I think it was a fantastic compromise.

^-----what he said.

I prefer flying but will spend a few nights mud-moving just for the fun of it.
Can't be arsed with gears, fwd n bck will do.

Am sure the T34 used to climb a lettuce tho'

I agree with Citabria/Fester, save for the fact that theres different possitions for the pintle gun and the tank commander. Although that would be solved if we got binoculars for the tank commander, and changing possitions just represented putting down the field glasses, and hopping on the gun.

The old tank system felt as if you were hastily scrambling from the driver's seat back to the turret after you put a brick on the accelerator, and jury-rigged some system of pulleys to let you steer from the gunner's chair by yanking on a rope.


The current system gives you the feel of taking on the role of the tank commander. You can order the driver to keep going, turn left, or stop, while simultaneously ordering the gunner to traverse the turret to the left, or fire. I mean the only even semi-gamey part is that you sorta take over the gunner's body when you jump to the turret, and even then it also half feels like nothing more than a switch of the camera shot in a movie, giving you a different view on an otherwise identicle scene.

i would like it better if i could shift myself, sometimes you cant take a T34 to a fight because its a higher base and that leads to a hill as you spawn in and we know the new auto trany wont let the 34 go up a hill thats more than a few % in grade.

This, leave the transmission system alone its not complicated to figure out, while people whine about 1 hill they can't climb - 80% of the other bases are either level or down hill.

Be thankful we even have ground vehicles for years we only had the Panzer 4, Tiger, M8 and M3.

 I like the new commander set up in the tanks but the new transmissin is the worse single thing done to the GVs. I hate it and I do not have the same control over the movement of the tank. You just about can't creep forward like you use to be able to do. Now the tanks takes off or will not move at all when you want it to or moves when you are in the gun sight at the wrong time.

 Climbing a hill is a joke now specially in the T-34. This new transmission has made me just about stop GVing at all and anyone who has played the game for a while knows GVs is about all I did. The WWII tanks were all manual transmission and I don't see why it is a big deal to push a key to shift gears at the time you want them to shift.
