ummm the GV game is lame

[WWhiskey]

 I would say the same for the GV and the icon it sees  why should the GV have an icon advantage?

The new system is easier not better

yea cause in real life the icons a much larger!!!!!!!!

GV's are gamey at best and put here for the planes to bomb and  straff

That seems to be the case....I prolly lose more gv's to bombs than from other gv's---spawning to enemy bases just makes the likelihood of that even greater, which is why the maps which have gv's spawns matching up in the middle of nowhere are so much more fun.....you're not deFENDing the base, you're not trying to TAKE the base.....just mindless blasting away!

Spawn into my Base...I won't bomb ya.... and you'll have a chance to game the gamey GV with your main gun like at the arcade shoot-em up 

It's your 15 bucks 

The old system was much more REAL!

It certainly was, you know like you could zoom in and check out the chipped paint on the panzer that was 5 miles away. And the way you could make your aim point with the cursor.

The only thing I miss was the standard transmission. NOT because it was "better". I can do everything I did with the old with the new, but only because it was fun. Running up through the gears was like playing in a race car. It would have been even more fun if they had added a "clutch" button.

You know... Like.... you had a driver a gunner and main gunner and the TC  position ...shift gears.. I used to drive with my stick now I have to use buttons............. going backwards

Yeah! It was better

Its like the kiddies arcade now

hmm...I steer with my pedals, whilst aiming with my stick...and yes, a 'neutral' would be nice...if you hit 'shift s' in a Panther to stop....as soon as you use its fairly unique ability to spin in place, damn thing starts moving forward again....forcing you to shut off engine to forestall that...which causes OTHER dangers. But if you compare AH model to say..WOT, AH is better, imo

[WWhiskey]

I have my WSAD keys mapped to a hat switch to drive,, works like a charm,,, I used the one on my throttle as well as shift s and w buttons,, so I don't ever used the keyboard to drive.

Everyone complains about the gears (and I liked the old way better too) but the part of the new GV model I hate the most is the "auto pilot" steering.  You can't steer, you just give suggestions of direction and the under damped oscillator of an auto heading swings back and forth in the general direction you wanted.  Heading at a tree?  Turn left.. OK, I'm clear.. oops.. nope.. it's swinging back into the tree again.. splat.  I've looked at videos of real tanks maneuvering, under no circumstances do they oscillate in the yaw axis after turning.

(You can map the steering to the twisty stick, which I've done, but it still oscillates and you have to be careful when aiming the gun to not accidentally twist the stick as the tank will take off running on it's own.)

I have to agree with the OP

If I had my way GVs would be removed from the game

However I understand that it would be silly for HiTech to give up the subscription revenue from players that enjoy the GV game...

...and I suppose it's nice for those people incapable of flying a virtual plane to have something to do in the game

Lol coombz you shouldn't of made the troll so obvious, sometimes less is better

(excluding Ship/Field Gun kills)

GV's are gamey at best and put here for the planes to bomb and  straff  

Yet last year only ~9% of all tank kills were made by planes.

It is still kind of quirky I mean you can see the vehicle supplies from way out zoomed in but still not see the GV until your on top of it.
