Stop vehicle in-field repair.

[lunatic1]

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.

dang it gv mechanics are not broken--there just underpaid

"in field repair" encourages spawn camping.

theres an achievement for killing a GV within 30 seconds after it spawns... that encourages it to....but wait....it was put...in the game...OMG!

play smarter...


the problem im seeing is people just want to be able to pick apart wounded gv's much like la/190/51s run down smoking rtb planes cant tell you how many times ive seen a p51 sit at 15k over a furball just to dive in on first thing that starts leaking and headin home

that being said i do have a problem with the amount of ammo that does get supplied it should be dependent on the tank IE 88 is much bigger then a 37mm

so it would be like this
sup=1 box=400 20mm 50-37mm-25/75mm-9/88mm/(i realise this is not accurate just to give you an idea)


as for the people crying for "infield repair" well this is true it does take time...but most tanks"tracked" and other small issues could repair them selves which then means... a tank could assualt towns/bases get tracked in the process....turn its self into a gun emplacement... kill everything around it.. then repair its own track(Without need for sups) and then drive on to kill more... even that tanks have replacement treds on them..literally

so while you whine about instant resup.... everything else that comes from a more realistic element would produce more whines im sure

future post
"Omg tanks are to accurate they can like fix them selves and use stuff as cover"


but  agreed on shrubbery needs fixed first and for most... nothing like a tree/hill throwing a 90ton tanks 1500ft threw the air

Ever changed the tracks on a tank? Or replaced pads or links?

Which 90 ton tank would that be?

[Blinder]

Yes. I have changed track, pads, pins and links before. Many, many times on both the M60A1 and the M1A1. I also helped a Challenger I crew do this in the desert and a Leopard crew do this in Europe more than once. I've also assisted on suspension work on both the the Japanese Type 74 and Type 90. Our pioneer gear on the tank, also known as SL-3 inventory in the Marines, equips the tank crew to make repairs to track. We carry spare track blocks, as do our platoon mates so block sharing is an option if more track is blown off that we have on our hog.



The real problem occurs if there is extensive damage to the suspension components such as the roadwheels, roadarms, torsion bars, final drives, idlers or track adjusters. Then you need the support of battalion maintenance and possibly an ARV to assist.



That is why I suggested the adding of the Bergepanther or M32 ARVs.

And though there were 90 ton behemoths produced in WWII, we all know they were rare and experimental. I believe the chap means 25 to 30 tons. You are just splitting hairs with that comment Danny.

I believe that messing in the running gear of a tracked vehicle ranks amongst the most effective knuckle removing activity known to man, coupled with the pleasure of pry bars twisting and smacking you in the nuts/chin/shins.

OK Blinder, I was being pedantic with the 90 ton thing

You are forgiven, my son.
