Title: GV Autopilot
Post by: chris3 on April 12, 2012, 05:43:34 AM

just a idea comes to my mind.
It would be nice if we get roads between the Fields and if you drive at this road with your gv it will stay on this road and will head the direction the road goes. So going afk and reaching some places were normally tanks will not attack would be possible.

what do you think?

We had something called "heading hold"   It was a way to point your GV in one direction and it was 'supposed' to hold that direction.  In practice I found it really didnt do much at all.

no, i really hate it when people just point a gv in a direction like the strats go watch a movie then come back and shoot like hell.  we had that in aw and that is how we played.  i wish we didnt have it in the planes either.

If we didn't have it in planes, you better make the bases closer. I'm not spending 10 minutes watching blue and green go by.

In that case wouldn't bombers become extremely rare?

Put the tank in gear and let it run to full speed. Switch to the hull MG or MG on the turrent and let it run its course straight ahead

He doesn't want a straight route type - he wants the tank to follow the roads (WATCH OUT FOR RESUPPLY CONVOYS!)

Heading Hold sucked...if you were going along the edge of a hill laterally, it would not hold at all. You had to have tree-less & sometimes bush-less terrain or it was useless. Only time I used it was in an M-16 while shooting at a strafing plane....the way it is now is better because you can twisty turn the GV while firing.  :old:

that would be good, i hate having to just let a bomber go because it's just too f***ing high, only way to get those 40k guys is to use a 163, hate that.

The OP was throwing the "road" criteria into the mix which is quite different to "hold heading" etc.

Unfortunately also far more complex.

I would like to see roads used for all sorts of stuff such a multiple point spawning system, attritable bridge system, a sort of auto drive route would also be neat.

Stuff should travel faster on roads (10%?)
