GV Turnovers
« on: November 29, 2012, 06:35:10 PM »
All of us at one point or another have rolled over a tank. Since the ability for tanks to plow through bushes and topple over trees won't be for sometime. Could we have the ability if our tank flips over to flip it back? Considering I have never heard of a WWII tank flipping over (this is me personally, I am NOT saying that this never happened, I'm not a Historian as many of you are), so can we have the ability to flip over our tank? At least to have a counter against the all-powerful trees/terrain.

Just a thought.

Respectfully,

Tinkles

You are not driving a WWII tank. You are playing a game that to add challenge has obstacles that you must avoid..... or they will flip you.

Learn to drive !   :aok

A thin chance they could crawl out of the top hatch.   :devil

Some tanks had hatches in the bottom.

Do you think they(any tankers) ever had equipment to dig themselves out a hatch for just this case?

Looks like a Panther to me.

I doubt they could, whatever knocked that tank on its side, probably killed the crew at the same time.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

If it was an explosion or such I suspect you're right.  With limited visibility and possibly combat conditions I see it as entirely possible to accidentally roll a tank over an embankment or into a tank trench or the like.  Was there ever a procedure that considered that possibility for anyone?  The hatch on the bottom hull sorta makes sense. I think that was more for someone outside the tank to access the inside though.

I think HTC has a sort of "shove" used when you encounter an unmovable object.

If not for that shove, it may be possible to brush a tree and get stuck against it without the ability to move either forward or backwards.

Maybe add the same sounds planes make when touching anything to the tanks would help you to back out before you get the shove.

Some shoves are harder than others.

that shove gives the caliope a really good rocket angle for aircraft  :lol

best shove I ever had was at a town maproom running into the concrete maproom perimeter and next thing I knew my perspective was under the maproom with the buildings suspended in the air above me. I have no idea how others saw my M4 from their views, but I suspect my tank was not visible to them as I was able to kill every GV that entered the maproom square.

Even modern tanks get flipped. Google flipped tanks you will see plenty. My complaint however is for heavy German tanks that don't get into gear and go 1 to 15 mph in a sec then to dead stop (why). This happens a lot to me with panther. Also funky spin outs that twist panther around also annoy me.
