Transports?
« on: 21-10-2010, 21:10:32 »
hey guys, I have a suggestion that isn't gamechanging by any means but puts in a nice gimmick into this awesome game!.

So one problem I see in some cases,  is the lack of Infantry methods to kill tanks. So my suggestion is to add trucks or cars for Anti-tank gun transportation so we get to see more anti-tank guns on the field! :)

for allies.

for germans.


What do you guys think about adding trucks or cars for transportation?

One problem is that towable Anti tank/field guns is atm impossible

Azreal however, i think, leaked a video of something of it. It was a work in progress but who knows
-i am fairly sure that if they took porn off the internet, there would only be one website left and it would be called bring back the porn "Perry cox, Scrubs.

This has been discussed many times, and apparently is not possible on this engine.

I think that project was cancelled as it was only working on local server. But as you said, who knows.

He's taking it well, actually.
WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!
Like, the first person I've seen not argue about engine limitations.  It calls for a party.

A BT actually confessed to me prior to the release of 2.0 something to the effect of 'getting help to push an AT gun. That's probably when the devs still believed in pushing the barriers. Pitty they gave that up. Personally my favorite weapon in FH1 was the towed 88s,

but the thing is some of these guns, especially the towed 88 sdk-whatchyoumacallit goes above tactical warfare to something closer to strategy... which is out of the scope of FH2

You don't just drop an 88 and its ready to fire. Not in an active battle, I don't think. I was hoping such a thing would be a no-brainer in the bocage to ambush  Shermans and such making their way across open open fields  facing concealing hedgrow lines... But alas!

Still, I'm sure the ability to 'push' rather than pull might find application yet. After all, if you can ride a fighter aloft on a bomber, I say its a matter or re-engineering and workaround

Being able to drive an AT gun where ever you want would be great on some maps. I think the pushing is OK, but sometimes it is way too slow if you want for example to push it 200m

You mean Marder etc? Because I sure hope you don't mean the ridiculous 88mm on halftrack from FH1 ;) that thing is legendary in wargaming communities, because it is a fan favourite in almost every single game system due to its usefulness. Yet the Germans only had some tens of them :D

The one with the Pak40 was use in the ardennes only. They also had a Puma with Pak40 there.
