In Offline Practice, take the tanks off the runway

[Mongoose]

  When you install the game for the first time, and go into the Offline Practice arena, there is a tank sitting on one of the runways.  If you launch east or west, you crash into the tank.  I suggest moving the tank to just off the runway, so it won't be in the way, but it will be seen as you go by.

I believe there is a way to off set the tanks.

You can either:

1. Set an additional drone as a gv so one of the tanks divert to the dirt or...
2. Have the tank drones become airplanes instead of gv's.

You can do this with the Offline Drone section of the Arena Setup menu.

I think the OP has to do with a first timer who would have no clue how to do this

Press ESC to bring up the clipboard.  Click on Options. Click on Arena Setup. Click on Offline Drones. There should be 6 pull down boxs to select the aircraft/vehicle drones. Pick them all as aircraft. Otherwise, take off on a different runway.

If you already know this and just wish the tanks wouldn't appear on the runway apologies.

   Phoenix and Pembquist, thanks for trying to help, but RSLQK186 is right.  The idea is to get the tank out of the way of the first time player who can't figure out why he keeps crashing on takeoff. 

   I was going through the first time set up of the game to remind myself what it looks like to new players.  This is one of the things that came up on my list of things likely to confuse newbies.

+1 to getting that tank off the runway as default.

Get the GV's off the runways.
