M3-Why even have it with vehicle icons shown?
« on: May 04, 2000, 08:24:00 AM »
With the way the icon system is for vehicles, an M3  driver with troops may be very hard to find since it will mean sure death.

Please, fix the icons/dots for tanks before the M3 is implemented!

Now, Now.. it ain't gonna be all that bad... the m3 is armoured well enuff to shrug off a sloppy .50's gun pass, just like the m16. it'll sure have more armor than a goon...  and surely; like a goon, it'd be best escorted by m16's or close air.. more opportunites for action.. not less.  

Further; have you noticed that the armor is a magnet fer chumps lookin fer gravy kills, and LOTS of slow, dum, and ripe fer picken targets can be found just by giving your armor some air support?

...and imagine the wonderful scenes of mayhem when a passel of m3's are zig-zaggin about otw to a field.. lol; it'll be like shootin at rabbits.
