Title: ability to drive tank from Commander position
Post by: Emu on June 17, 2008, 10:14:11 AM
It would be realistic to have the ability to "drive" the tank from the commander's position, which is the top pintle gun for most tanks.  Of course, this would entail having the ability to switch between tank driving and pintle firing while in this particular position.
Thanks,

Emu

Odd...I'm already driving the tank from commander's position, especially when dodging enemy bombs in my Tiger

I have been doing this for a while as well.

Use rudder to steer when you want to turn in any position other than the driver's postition including the main gun.

It would be nice to have control of the turret too, from the other positions.  Say, a button for four cardinal bearings to remotely command the turret to.

And independent track control for those vehicles that had it, to allow them to rotate in place.

You have also adjusted your main view outside the tank, right?

Yes.  But view from the turret is much better.

I like moots idea.

If we had the turret slaved to the rudder in the driver position, the way we have the tracks slaved to it from the 2,3,4 positions, that'd be good too.

On top of Tankbourne Radar to put up a deflector shield, so 2k will bounce right off.

Hey Emu, Aces High also has boats.  fishing is allowed but you have to drive your boat off the map to get to the good fishing spots.  I'll pm you some maps that will help you find these spots.  Fish are worth a lot of perks.
