Title: Additional Posistion for GV
Post by: Waffle on April 14, 2004, 11:23:49 PM

Fester, Lok, myself and several others were tooling around in gvs and realized that with all the ground clutter and small bushes - it's hard as hell to spot other gvs. You pretty much have to use the gunsight zoom to scan and do recon. Was wondering about the difficulty of adding a "Binocular" setting. Basically a full zoom view that can pan / tilt like the gunner position, but has full 360 degrees scan radius and full vertical scan also. (spotting and Id'ing planes)
Would basically have the same unrestricted movement as a feild gunner. You can put the funny binocular sight on it too :)



OO

Would this simulate a tank commander with an open hatch?  If so, I wouldn't mind having the commander/gunner vulnerable when using this position. :)

If you're going to have a 'open hatch' commanders position, MG rounds and tank rounds exploding near by should 'kill' the commander position. :D

You can just get in the pintle, zoom in, and use F8(pan) to accomplish this alreaady.:cool:

I would like to see a Commander Posistion different from the Pintle Posistion...

To prevent death from Explosions and MG fire you could hit a button, and Button up which would disable your Commander and Pintle Views.

Another neat feature would be a Bail Out option for Armor, Where you could jump out of your Tank, If it was burning or disabled and run back to a freindly field.
