When a new map loads just set the standard armor and standard engine default on the vehicles, so you don't have to select them since you were just playing a game where you had reflective and fission or w/e.
yes, because a lot of times.. i have to make a tank cause our base is getting fuked up.. and then i have to swamp out the reflective armor and 3phase armor for plain armor and standard engine.. by that time.. i usually get meleed or gunned down.
lol, i never tried doing it when dead or com time. i usually dont think about planning for my tank build until i need a tank, and im sure most people are like that. enemy grenadiers and scouts usually go after people who are busy with the tank menu, they can take out like 1-3 people doing that. perhaps it should be one of the "hints" or "guides" on loading screen to tell players that it can be done.
The diffrence between 10 seconds and 1 is huge in war. Its the same diffrence as the commader placing the VF sideways from the rax instead of entrence to entrence. Its much more combat effience. This suggestion is simple and fixes such a small issue it could be ignored but I think if its implement it would give empires a more pollished feel.
