Title: New Vehicles/Boats?
Post by: Seagoon on May 04, 2002, 10:31:01 PM

Hi HT Guys,

As my vehicle Perkies top the 500 mark (I'm sure there are guys with literally thousands driving around out there) I'm wondering are there any plans to introduce anything to spend them on within the next two patches? I'm not asking for an inside scoop on what it will be, just whether I should expect it to appear.

how about driveable DDs for say...50 perks, and CAs for 100?

Or a U-boat.

Personally, I think there needs to be more ships.  The Carrier fleets should remain as is, but there should also be warships flotillas with two cruisers.

Perhaps also model a battleship.

If your looking to really make navy action more interesting, add

1.  Cargo fleets...the water equivalent of land convoys/trains.

2.  U-boat wolf packs.  A "fleet" that allows you to spawn up and down the line as your own U-boat to go forth and sink ships.

3.  Battleships

4.  Gun directors.  Instead of taking control of a turret and firing it directly, take control of the small boxes on top of the superstructure.  The turrets slave to those.

5.  Target Data Computers.  You set in the targets range, bearing, heading, and speed and turn the computer on.  The computer then aims for it and tracks it.  It is only as accurate as you make the settings though.  Both for main guns on warships and torpedos for DDs and Subs.

Hi All,

Thanks for the suggestions, but this was more of a simple question directed to the HT staff or "those in the know" (you know the "they" of "they say..."): Are there plans to introduce perk boats/vehicles anytime soon?

It's not necessarily what, but whether...

Anyone even heard any rumours on that front?

I'll confirm the U-boat rumor.  Don't count on it untill you see it though.

We were hyped about adding M3 Priest self propelled artillery vehicles awhile back, and as you can see they're not here yet.

Then again, treelines are more important to ground war than new vehicles are.
