Stop vehicle in-field repair.
« on: March 01, 2014, 07:51:02 PM »
Why make the GV game more cartoonish than it already is, and allow for in-field repair, whereas a damaged aeroplanes has to exit to get their damage fixed ?

I agree it is incredibly cartoonish. However the GVers will cry blood tears and cut on themselves if it's removed. My opinion is that the better compromise would be to introduce a thirty second delay much like when you land an aircraft on the rearm pad.

I agree with Save for once.    :eek:

People like Erwin are ruining the game by parking Wirbs in spawns or on hills near furballs and getting supplies.   This then means we have to egg him and get called names.

I would agree if shrubery didnt flip tanks over.

It's far too quick..... The 30 seconds required on the re arm pad should also apply in the field IMO.

We're asking for changes to be made to a broken mechanic. You want ENY limits removed so you can club whoever has the fewest number of defenders with perk rides and Runstangs.

Let sups right a flipped tank and give them more ammo.. but the instant repair has always seemed ridiculous to me.

Have you resupplied a tank with 75-120 mm shells through the hatches ?
I have many time's.
Its a PITA, specially the rounds stored low, off the ready-shelf, the 30 sec's is an absolute minimum.

I have. Eight years as a tanker in the Marines. I have also experienced many times the recovery operation in turret deep mud and throwing track in sand and fixing it in sand.  So I also know the difference between real world tanking and what this game is. I will assume that the current set up is meant to allow the GVers to keep themselves in the fight by supporting each other. This means someone has to stop tanking for a spell and get in a jeep or a half-track and selflessly run supplies out to the cripple much the same way we waited for the M88 to show up from battalion and drag us out of the muck.

I believe the point Hi-Tech is making with this arrangement is that teamwork pays off. For the realists in here I will have to say when the day comes that a tree or a bush can no longer mug and rape a 30 ton full tracked vehicle that will be the day I side with you for a more realistic game on the ground. Until then, it is still just a game with a multitude of imperfections.  :old:

Just because you like abusing a broken mechanic doesn't mean it should stay. :)
