So supplies and troops are handy. In RL, a tank could have towed these, I would think. :D
-
:rolleyes:
-
Slow tank/wirble speed by 5mph when towing an M3. Assume the M3 is in neutral when being towed. Would be fun for one man base take attempts.
:old: Lone wulfs want to have more base taking fun and don't neccessarily want to be in a horde.

Whoa, lovely idea!
My Stuka could get two kills with one bomb this way... awsome :aok
-
You could wish for 10 troops to be listed as another ammo load. Shoot HE at the ack, then switch to troops and shoot them at the maproom...
-
+1 or the tank could tow a camper trailer for the spawn campers...
-
bit boring for the M3 driver though. I guess you could man the .50 and strafe shrubberies to pass the time.

M3 would be driverless.... like a drone in a bomber. The tank driver can switch to the M3 when needed. :aok
Tank could even pull a wirble and an M3 and suffer a 15mph speed penalty. Maybe a bit much for one tank to pull 2 vehicles, but at least allow an M3 to be pulled.
-
There were specific tanks for this, so if you want an M4 to drag an M3 then the M4 would have a Crane and not a gun.

Why couldn't you just attach a chain from one to the other or a tow rope? Simple. Don't need to lift it with a crane... just have it in tow. :headscratch:

most likely because tanks woudnt go into combat towing another vehicle behind them. there was recovery vehicles dedicated to towing damaged vehicles back to the repair/rearm area not the other way around.

Gah nope.

Sure... have vehicles just throw a towrope and you should be towable... happened in real life a lot. :aok :pray
But your wheels and/or treads need to not be damaged.

Im sure a panzer could drag some part of my plane's corpse onto the concreate.

M3 would be driverless
hows it going to steer then?
-
Simply put: No.

same way a trailer is "steered"... it just follows what is towing it. :rolleyes:

work it out for yourself.

A wirble weighs almost as much as a tank...it is based on a PzKw IV chassis you know. Wonder how well
the transmission would handle pulling double weight cross country?

fine, forget the wirble... but any tank should be able to pull and M3 in neutral... bringing sups or troops. :)

I want a tank to be able to tow 10 jeeps, then we can make a choo choo
-
I just wish I could toss a CS grenade into whatever room your in and light you up with an airsoft gun as you exit coughing and bleary eyed........ :noid
-
You're wishing to essentially drive two vehicles at once.
Why wouldnt EVERYONE just drive along towing their own personal set of supplies?
That'll be great, turret a tiger...oh wait nm he just repaired...over and over again
Not to mention how silly thats going to look, everyone towing a truck behind them.
I mean heck, why not let a C47 to a glider filled with troops, Who cares about getting shot down you have another plane!
^also a stupid idea
Actually, cant I just tow a fighter behind my bomber, that way I can be my own escort?
^another stupid idea
Get the point? ;)

Another useless thread to jack up post count.

I have towed many a vehicle with rope/chain and none of them followed me without someone steering the towed vehicle.
-1 to idea even without the above info.
I got it troops rode on top of tanks all the time in WWII on both sides maybe let them ride there in AH too. ohh never mind don't like that idea either
darn spelling errors

+1 :D
-
Oh, oh oh! I have an idea:
What if you developed tanking skills, so you don't need to have resupplys on hand.
-
b b b b but tankerace it would be so much easier if HT would make the gun aim itself and fire once turret is in position.
that would be way better than any amount of supplies

hmmmmm.... that is a valid point there, dkff49. Well what if HTC just made him invincible, and gave him a 105mm L7 on his M8.
-
i have it the ultimate fix.
killshooter for any enemy within 10k yards from midway.
problem solved.
make it so HT.
