Title: An Idea For Light Tanks
Post by: WMDnow on April 02, 2007, 03:37:58 PM

It would be a great addition to have landing craft that could be piloted by a person that would control the tank inside, or be a spawn point once reaches the shore.  It would be cool if we could do this for tanks like the sherman and M-8, so we wouldn't have to drive all the way.

Yep, landing crafts have been suggested before, and would make a nice addition :)

My idea for steering:

- Landing craft and tank are piloted by the same player
- View from within the tank
- Steer the landing craft with the rudder axis (like you steer the bombers from a gunners position)
- Use throttle for the landing craft's speed.
- As soon as you are grounded, you can drive out of the landing craft (with normal gv steering)

It would also be cool for the shore batteries to be able to target the beach. :t
