Title: Bail out of a Tank
Post by: mike254 on June 18, 2009, 10:59:19 PM
I've always wondered why we couldn't hop outa a tank. I don't see why we can't. It's not like it really matters or it would be useful at all, but hell, why not?

Why add code that won't be used?

How do you know it won't be used?

He says himself it wouldn't be useful.  Ignoring that, what would you use it for?

I'd use it to sneak up on a runway and vulch the spawning aircraft.

'why?'

Because it would be possible.

Besides my own escapades, I can't speak for the rest of the community how/if they use it.

Because it is realistic. I think I got the idea when i was sitting on an enemy runway and i wanted to shoot them with my pistol because my turret was out.

Park your tank just in front of the aircraft spawn on the runway.
The resulting collisions should be rewarding,until someone ups a B-25h and cannons you.

Bail outta my tank w a Thompson Subgun and a Bazooka w 2shots...
Or an MP40, and Panzerfaust w 2shots....?

Hell yes... Love to lay low in the the town and nail a Tank, or M3...

Don't think for an instant that tankers didn't carry plenty of personal
firepower... They did!!!

How about getting out and defending a town?  If you're tracked or disabled, you get out of your vehicle and can use your pistol on the incoming troops.

why not just use your mg?

Again, just use your mg, unless you are facing the wrong way.

With my luck, that will always happen.

I would say no to this.  Bailing from the tank should be a last ditch effort, not an option to go wandering around AH world.

All the debri from shot down aircraft shod be littering the landscape as well then, but they just disappear, so we can do the same with the tank if left for a long time.

I see your point as to "why not?", but useless? It would be found highly useful to some and even fun to some others. No doubt it would be fun to be in the middle of an enemy run way cussing in English and shooting planes with 9mm bullets. Not a single person would expect that.

Would be kinda fun bazooka-ing a tank. :t

I don't know I have seen a lot of pictures of dead tank crews next to the tank they tried to bail out of. I don't see the point in this game.

Keep in mind that IRL, the ditching crew would be sitting ducks for the enemy soldiers.

We have no soldiers in here.
Unless they're players who bailed out of their tanks

I would be incredibly useful to bail out and run into a maproom to kill inbound troops.  What you'de end up with I'm afraid is a base full of GVer's bailing to do just that.

I don't like it for that reason.

I liked the idea until I read BaldEagl's comment.  I think he's dead on right.
