my wish is. if your gv is damaged, dead engine or damaged track, a friendly gv should be able to tow you to a save place.
for example you lost a track near a enemy base, than the base is taken and supplies are out. and you are 200yards away from a runway and you have 20 kills or more, a squady is beside you but he can do nothing :frown:. so it would be really cool if a friendly can pull or tow me to the runway.
or in other situations out of the danger.
what do you think?

I think this is more trouble than it's worth. If you get hit it's your own fault, live with it... You still get the perks, they're simply not multiplied.
-
I say no. You already can resupply in GV or just exit and get successful landing if there are no enemies around, in plane you have no options but exit and got a ditch.
If squadies really want to help you they can bring you supply from neighbour fields or clear place so you can land from there you are.

ok, its my own fault, but every tank can tow a damaged tank if its need in real life. it would be only a nice option. sure you can bring suply 70miles away but towing a few meters would be a better option i think. ;).
and often its only a few meters to bring your tank back in savety, and often suplys are not an option, expezialy if your field is under attack.
i want it only as an nice extra option. and be sure it would be used alot by the hardcore tank drivers.
an other wish is, every tank crew can fix his track yourself, if you lost your track you sould be able to fix it in about 15-20 min.

I wish tanks could not damaged in anyway and you can drive around shooting without worry.
My wish makes as much sence as ts one does...IN!

That would be great.

Towing GVs? oh wait! lemme guess your next idea! Tank insurance!! :lol

i think you should have the option to repair your tracks if you hit a buton when you are not shooting and you cant shoot while it is being repaired

I was thinking about that idea should only take 5 minutes or less.

Im all for it Chris. :aok
Its very annoying when your in the middle of a field and lose your engine and can do nothing but wait for that lucky round to give you a 'quick trip to the tower'.
Definetly all for it, danke sir. :aok
:salute

Again, think about plane stopped just few meters away from concrete with dead engine. In GV you have a chance already.
an other wish is, every tank crew can fix his track yourself, if you lost your track you sould be able to fix it in about 15-20 min.
You can do it right now. Waiting for supply can take ever less time and you can fix any damage, not only tracks.
Your suggestions are not for improving gameplay but for saving scores. Therefore its not gonna happens, most probably.

@Rmrider thanks, nice to see that only one can see what i mean.
@Oleg i dont think about saving scores, i say it would be a nice adition some times.
lately a read a book from otto carius, and he telled a stroy about his damaged Tiger, he lost his water radiator and was under havy fire, so the crew cant get out to fix it or to but the cables from a secound tiger to tow him out of the fire....
so what happens?! the secound tiger pusched his tiger all the way back out of the fire so the crew were now able to but the towing cables on it.
i remebered much of situations like this i have in the game, in wich i were very lucke if some of my frinds were able to take me out of the fire to a saver place were i can wait for the suply.
i dont understant why you dont like this idea...did you never have situations like that??? i can imagine.

Then we could add the Bergepanther for towing them or giving them tracks or wheels because they lost there.

jes a repair vehicle would be cool too, if he get close to you he could raipar all your damaged step by step and it would take some Min's.
but than supply are only need to get new ammo, but if we have a bergepanther ..why not??
a nother thought in this direction would be a truck which could pull your damaged airplan out of the mud back on the runway so you dont need to ditch.....@ oleg i dont think at the score.....it would only luck nice if there were more life on the airfields...maybe this truck ware able to fix your damage in some Min's.....OK OK i can easy take a new bird but for me i like it to fly the same bird for a few hour's, so my motivation get higher and higher to save my life and so i fly more realistic..i think .....and this would be a step to improve the gameplay because with a bird which i fly a few hoers i will never try a HO.......and with that 5min birds i will do it earlyer i think.
and another thought would be a fire dept. if you fight the fire in a hanger you can lower his down time for example.....

Instead of making firetrucks, just modify the tanks to shoot water instead of HE, AP, or Smoke rounds. Don't forget to have a certain amount of water availible.
If you want to know about firefighting just give me a holler since I'm a firefighter in real life.
-
i dont understant why you dont like this idea...did you never have situations like that??? i can imagine.
A lot of times, of course. I just either ask for supples or exit. Never feel I need to be towed. I dont see how it can make game better :huh
btw, i never said i dont like your idea (in fact, dont care much). I said it quite unlikely to be implemented.

every option you get more would be made the game better to you, i think. i think i would use it 1 time per week, ok its not much but if i need it i will use it and you too im sure.
mostly my father and i drive a tiger and we have alot of situation were we could use this option because he is in a tiger and im in a tiger and no frindly is arond to bring suply or suply is out. it is realy sad that im not able tow my father home, so he need to ditch his tank.
but you are right the majoriti wouldn t use this option and so it will made the game better only for a small group.

Repair vehicles are a good idea - it shows team spirit. It's a bit like the idea of being able to pick up downed pilots and return them to base (to claim most of their perks even). It'll add a little more complexity to the game and give us a for more different ways of playing it.

cu chris3
why if you are 70 miles away i dont want to wait 10 mins to have a friendly gv come and take you to safety. just ask for a goon to come drop vh supplies
-
moin
sure that's true. towing of gvs makes only sense if your Buddy stands beside you ;).
for example: my dad and i drive often tiger and lately it hapens that he got tracked near the v field we have just captured. he was only 100 yards away from the runway. we cant get supply at this base and the base were the troops cam from was fresh porket. so no one could bring us supply in about 20min. it had been so easy if i were able to tow my dad on the runway were he can land save.
other situation you got tracked and you squady can pull you out of the fire or in a better position until the supplycar arrives.
i think it would be a nice extra option for the gv game play!
cu chris3
-
I was stuck in a situation like this.
My feul was empty (Damn newbie mission), so i Glided into open field 2 k's away from a Vehicle base!
my budds had their hand full, so i had to Ditch... :mad:
I lost all my perks... :frown:
-
moin
...and it happens again, my squadys and i was in a great gv fight and supply was close to my position. one of my squadys was 600yards in front of me in a tiger, he got tracked and was out of the supply range, and new supplies was disabled :frown:.
If i were able to tow him back a few yards, he were able to take the supply but with out this option he get killed after a few minutes.

It wont work even if they put it in because if the tiger can be hit so will you. :devil

the point is not that my squady lost a tiger the point is that my squady lost a tank although the resque was so close.
and we all get these experinace im sure....
tank insurance??????????? cant see the fun :noid :noid
cu chris3

the point is that my squady lost a tank
If tanks were limited in numbers, this might be a valid wish. But, since items come in endless supply, there's no point to "saving" a tank by towing it for a safe landing.
-
I think this might be a good idea, these things increase the realism of the game, and for some the fun. There are days when you would like to do more than up a plane, kill and get killed, end up in tower, repeat ad nauseum. What more, if someone choses to tow a squaddie back to a safe are, and you bomb them while doing so, you get 2 kils instead of one! I also thing that things like being able to dispatch a jeep or goon to pick up a ditched friend would be fun too (put some incentive in to make people want to do things like this).
-
I can see the squeekers now:
I NEED A BERGEPANTHER
I NEED A BERGPANTER
I NEED A BEARGPANTRE
SOMEONE BRING ME A BERGPANTHER
MY TANK HAS A FLAT, NEED FIXD
I understand the purpose of the tow or the repair vehicle, but that's why we have the Jeep and M3. No need for a 3rd vehicle.
-
moin
sure but you doesnt have supply everytime. than it should be able to tow. sure if you have suply there is no need to tow someone but if not it would be the best option.
in real life the tanks get towed mostly by his tank platoon members to a save place, why should it not able here.
im not talking about a new vehicle, only about a new option for ouer tanks nothing more.

sorry but that sounds to diffucult

I can't imagine the programming work that would have to go into making this wish come true and for what, so cartoon tanks (that there is an endless supply of) can be "landed"? How fast would this tow truck realistically haul a tank at anyways, 5-10 mph? Talk about a waste of time!
If you get tracked or severely damaged, using the .ef function seems like the most appropriate course of action. Get back into the fight with a new ride.

Just drop the supplies within range....

Seems like that would solve the problem. :)
Traditionally, knocked out vehicles are abandoned and left for followup support troops to deal with.
I'm not sure chris is even asking for a separate recovery vehicle anymore. I think he wants the ability to tow a damaged tank with an undamaged tank, while under fire. Agan, not usually done in the heat of battle.

Dudes..............
No friends? No squad? I have flown 20 minutes to drop gv sups to a countrymen, much less a squaddie.
So seriously? What exactly are you asking for?
-
moin
i have explained the typicali situation some answers bevor.
suply are in the area, new supplys are disabled, next base is over 50 miles away and your frind or other green man stays damaged maybe 50yards out of the suply range.
it happens to me often, and if it is to hard to code towing gvs than maybe bushing were an other option, so you can push your frind or other green man to the supply or to a save place.
btw these kind of vehicle towing and pusching was done often in the war. The bock "Tiger in the mud" shows some god examples for it.
and to all im not asking vor a new vehicle only for a ability to tow my frinds if thay need it.
sure its only cartoon tanks but some times we do some nice missions which ends mostly in hard GV fights and it is real fun to stay alaive for a long time and ends your sorti after more than 2 houers......you guys ever tried it???
try to drive with 3-4 tigers/sherman/t34/panzer to a base start a fight stay alive and if the amunition gose out drive back to your spawn.
if you try this kind of gameplay you will see what i mean and how usefull would be the towing option.
cu chris3

Sounds like a TKO.
-
would this be through AAA?
-
(...)
There's a point you simply have to accept defeat. You didn't prevent the enemy from disabling your supplies and you didn't prevent him from disabling your tank. Bad Luck. Now you pay the price.
It's a similar kind of wish like the one when players are asking for landing just beside the runway shouldn't coun't as a ditch ;)
-
moin
what is TKO and what is AAA???
ok, you guys dont like this idea?? i dont understand, it would be a nice extra option and all who like to drive tanks would use it alot im sure.
@lusche you are right but if the enemy disable you and if the enemy disable the supply, you still have an realistik option to stay alive and play. with out this option you only can reaspawn and this is not always fun. for me and alot of other guys my way would cause more fun i gues.
cu chris3

Technical knock out. You lost the fight chris3, just plan better next time so the supplies arent just out of reach :)

lol ok hehe.
an other option would be to fix your tracks yourself after maybe 10 or 20 mins.
every tank crew is able to fix here tracks hereself.

The flaw is that the crew didn't get out of their armored box, under fire, to fix or tow it for that matter. If they could get out, they defiladed to the rear. After all, it's just a tank, they can get another. They didn't have the luxury we have of getting another life.

you ever read the bock. "Tiger in the mud" from otto carius or the bock "Tiger a legendary weapon" bouth bocks are not so expensive. i can realy recommend these bocks to you. Than you would knew that mostly towing aktion and pushing aktion take place under havy fire.
Expecialy in german tank units because every tank was valuable and if thay lost one thay didnt get a new for a long time.
in alliese units the tank crews saw it a lot cooler i gues, but not the germans.

I was thinking about that idea should only take 5 minutes or less.
both good

Let this die. You can't tow them because they can't even run into eachother....and it would take alot of reprogramming to make this happen. If you can't get supplies your screwed...give up and .ef

...but i hate giving up :furious

Could we also have armor/speed powerups, along with tow-vehicles?

im not talking about tow-vehicles
im talking about that the vehicles should be able to tow or push each other if one lost his mobility. nothing more
