Storch Visibility

[oboe]

How about the ability to exit a vehicle walk around, to search, then re enter your vehicle?

And I still think binocular view for the zoom function is cool.   Could our figure, while outside the vehicle, have the appearance of an infantry soldier rather than a pilot?

While your at it Hitech, give the jeep soldier anti-tank grenades, smoke grenades, tommy gun, binoculars and the ability to steal an enemy vehicle if it is left unattended by the enemy.   
Now that could add a whole new aspect to the game.  I would love to creep around and blow up a clueless enemy vehicle or steal it while the enemy is taking a wiz in the bushes.

Map a GV Mode key to "Binoculars" and presto:

Or maybe just give the Jeep the same extended GV icon range as the Storch - another way to find GVs but this time from ground level.

that tiger1 is pretty what game is this?

or you can get a rear seater/gunner to help you search, 4 eyes are better than 2

Give the GV commander binoculars in and out of the tank. Unless zoom as it is, is the maximum magnification for far objects you allow in the game.

I like 1 eyes idea. You exit your vehicle and you could go steal the others guys vehicle. Of course he would have to find yours or it is a long ways back on foot. 

Any countries empty vehicle is up for grabs.

 If I remember.........the very first vehicles allowed one to bail.
 I believe there was no resort but to walk(run) back to base.
 But, Mr Hitech, Sir...if one can re 'mount' a vehicle....could a downed pilot .mount. a friendly veh/multiseat plane???
 And, because no one expects it.............SEAPLANES.
 

[Groth]

 I'm thinking Cats, He 115, Kingfishers(launch off capital ships), the He float.....
 Sorry if I high jacked thread...it is Hitechs fault...yeah....made me think of 'what could be'...keeps me payin my money, Sir. Keep up your reaching...it exceeds your grasp.

I disagree.

I mean, how much neutering can the GV aspect take?

For someone who goes afk, assuming mind you, while shut off and hiding under massive tree coverage, that's part of the game. Stuff happens where you have to go and take care of something away from the computer(afk) or you just like being a dick an like flashing a base. People in planes do it also, "afk" while flying

Who is to stay and know the reason of shutting your engine off? You don't know. How about the tank is trying not to get outed out getting killed.

Sometimes, in a GV battle, your impatience is what gets you killed when there are other GVs have their engine off and waiting for each other to turn on and move.

The wish for a Storch to fly with 100-300 yards to magically appear call it out to kill it when the tank is hiding a good coverage of foliage is preposterous. Another "gaming aid" to neuter the GV aspect really.

I wish the storch could actually see GVs that shut down and hide in thick brush a little easier.

My wish is to somehow give the stortch advantage to spot a GV when within 100 to 300 yards (or something to the effect). 


Lately, people park a GV under thick brush then go do something in RL for 10 to 20 minutes.  Often times, you can fly directly over a parked GV in thick brush and never see it.  I have seen people log out of the game to find them on film then come back to find them.  Too gamey IMHO.


Any input?  Is that even possible?

[bustr]

If you turn off post lighting, GV's stand out under trees like they did in AH2. And that weird thing bushes do to vehicles when they are parked in them and shut down stops happening. How you can park an M8 in a bush, shut down and it becomes klingon cloaked. You still need to be close enough to pick out a fender or tire. Or see the 50cal sitting above the bush.

I like that idea.

Few days back there was a GV hiding near an airfield and I could not see it from many search passes from a B25H. There was a friendly tank searching for it as well. Someone reported it being seen close to the field so I landed next to the tank off field selected F5 external view together with F8 and started to sweep along the ground through all thick bushes in range while using view range in/out etc. Located the hidden Wirble at the edge of my max view range and then gave VOX directions for the GV. Maybe too gamey but did require some teamwork/ communication for success. Kind of like exiting your aircraft and running around.
