Title: Standard transmission
Post by: puller on December 10, 2016, 12:38:21 PM
This new automatic transmission is even more truly awful than it was in AH2 when on a slope...Please bring back the standard transmission in gvs...or give people the option to use the automatic transmission...

TOTALLY AGREE!!!! The new automatic thing is a joke! In the day in real life they were manual, and they should be here as well.

You can still downshift.

I do not believe it has changed since AHII.

Darn near impossible to get them stopped with the engine running, it's as though you can never find neutral. Plus climbing a hill they always want to upshift, then downshift. I can never get one to hold a specific gear.

On a slope they just shift up and down constantly... I want to select a gear and wrap it out...going down the slope they go up to 180 mph :noid

This is based off the last time I took a GV out, which was in AH2. It may or may not have any use in AH3.
Don't try to go full throttle up a hill. That is when it'll up/down shift constantly. Just "select" a speed by holding the W keys and keeping an eye on your "hud" speed gauge. Once you start up a hill, you'll see your vehicle reach a certain speed before she upshifts to the next gear, then very shortly after down shift. I usually go 2-3MPH slower than up-shift point and find myself climbing a hill at a nice, consistent speed.
As for going down a hill...I tend to tumble down it. :P

I can not tell a difference. AH3 works the same best. I can tell. I do thik there is tread slipping on the very steep slopes or I think there is.

On steep slopes when it is jumping gears back-and-forth just tap the 's' key once and it will stop trying to speed up.

Ya, I was almost to the top of the hill I wanted to climb, and while tracks were moving forward, the tank was sliding backwards... :bhead

+1 to a semi-auto transmission for GVs; however (and not trying to be a wiseguy), it should include the possibility to burn out the tranny if you over-rev it for too long in a gear that is too low.

yeah Id like the old way back as well was just trying to get up a hill covered in rocks and that was the most painful ~20 mins of my GV life in AH.

Knowing that changes to the game like the transmission come after a long time of Hitech observing the function. And Changes to that change can be one of two things. First, almost overnight because it had some disparate impact on all players or second, over a long time again of observing it.
I never understood what about the way the old manual transmission functioned was observed to need the new automatic transmission replacement. I mostly ignored any negatives with the change and did my best to work with what it allowed me to do. I was always curious why the change was made to understand the benefits over the manual transmission.
Note: Not being a hard core GVer, I make no claim to understanding the problems with the automatic transmission.

Since both manual & automatic transmissions have been in the game, why not make a player option? It seems to be ruffling some feathers.

Because the 2 systems are not very compatible.
And there is no advantage to a manual transmission. The video shown is simply operator error. One key tap would have kept it in the lower gear at hi revs. HiTech

And I thought is would be a 'simple fix'. lol Didn't know they didn't play well together.

I was testing walls on a terrain to keep tanks from getting above and behind a base that I only wanted the front exposed to enemy tanks. First I put in a 500ft vertical wall cul-de-sac around the base. The 500ft wall angle was at 70 degrees. My panther went up the wall and out on the top. I never touched the transmission since I was testing for the most common condition a player would approach it in the MA. I also didn't try to traverse the face at any time or stop then restart.
I ended up with 1600-2000ft cliffs before the panther was stopped.
Not sure what you guys are doing to get these problems, I didn't experience any of them testing that cliff.

I believe the error like HT stated is user like I did in my video as I wasn't aware that you could just tap the back key and get it to stop just like everyone else who posted here for the most part. I'm sure maybe that this info was posted somewhere but I haven't seen it before.
