Should tanks be able to rotate in place like real tanks can? I'm pretty much going to try to implement this for 1.06 if people want it.
tracked vechiles should still have to move forward by a slight bit to actually rotate dont they ? i would think at least 1/4 the length of the tracks would need to move , and it would probably be somewhat like the size of the whole track for the diamater of the turn for a rotation. this doesnt make sence does it ?!?!?
My father has driven a tank, and they are really easy to turn around, all you have to do is to make one of the tracks go backwards, and one forward, and the tank will to a 180 Degrees spin. However, if this would be applied to the artillery, it'd make them too maneuverable to counter-attack, no point of making the artilleries harder to kill than they already are.
http://www.gizmology.net/tracked.htm yea at the very bottom the last 2 pictures remind me of driving a arty with 3 stage engines all right
wow 1.06 already I would LOVE to see this, I mean I will hunt you down if you decide not to make this XD yes seriously, I need to rotate a lot and this is one of this would be just fucking usefull and awesome HELL YES :D
What he meant to say was: "Hrrmmph. You are working rather expeditiously if you are already preparing for version 1.06. I would rather enjoy experiencing the majestic spinning motion of a treaded armoured vehicle. If, on the other hand, you do not incorporate this feature into the upcoming release, then I will be forced to lugubriously shop off your legs, and set fire to your house. Quite unfortunate. Quite. But in all sincerity, this would undoubtedly be an addition worthy of Canonization, as well as making this modification indefatigable. In short, most definitely yes."
where would you shop his legs off to? But yea im sure tanks can spot swivel, so why not make all tanks able, and for the hell of it why not make two engine spots for the bigger tanks, i would love to see some n00bs trying it and crashing ito the side of the V factory (scrap that last idea)
Oh, you misinterpret, my friend. I was not making the threat, I believe dizzy was. I was merely paraphrasing so as to be less uncouth.
that is rather a good point with the two engine slots - any chance of having one dedicated for each track? so you could get a phase 3 and a normal one and have to drive in circles. or maybe just say you need two for on the spot spinning. or not as its just a transmission thing. pah. ok i feel silly now
thx I wish I could ve said it like that but I actually ment that he was already busy coding 'tanks rotate in place' I find this a big addition to the game so wouldnt have expected krenzo to work on it so soon
I most certainly vote "yes". Maybe this'll help prevent so many nub tank drivers from depositing themselves in holes on emp_canyon. >
YES - I have asked for this in the past. But arty really does need some tweaks, I suggested making them just like siege tanks in starcraft to add balance.
Permission to code this in granted, give the arty whores back their shell!(meaning that it should defect of something and bounce over to them, killing them)
