Cupola style view for AT guns
« on: 18-04-2009, 01:04:13 »
Is there any way to add the ability to look around to AT gunners similar to the way tank commanders can look around in all directions via their cupola or pilots in their cockpit? I constantly find myself hearing something behind me while I'm in a AT gun but cannot look behind me without exiting and reloading the gun or turning the whole thing around. It  seems like an open AT gun should at least have better visibility than a tank.


Sorry if this has been addressed before, I tried searching the olds forums but didn't really know what to search for and kept getting tons of unrelated stuff.

You mean putting freelook on AT guns?  If so, I'm right behind you.  Its really annoying to hear things behind you, knowing that if you get off and look around, you won't have reloaded the gun in time for the next tank.

Agreed, there have been some pretty sub-standard suggestions these days.

Yeah I support this idea too. How many times have you been flanked just because you cant look around properly?

Yeah this is a good suggestion. I fully support it as I've always found it annoying that I must get of the ATG or turn the whole thing to direction I want to have a look at.

It shouldn't just be AT guns though but all simular situations like MG nests and what else not obviously.

Oh and interactive park benches so you can sit on them and look around... =p I miss those bastards.  :(

give tanks that feature only
make the Machine guns like the stuka rear gun
You know you can look all around and it slowly moves the gun till you aim it.
