See? You want to balance Tanks vs EveryoneElse battles.

I really wouldn't see the harm in allowing shooting from jeeps - people don't use tanks properly either most the time to big whoop.

And no. I kind agree with shooting with SMGs or Rifles from Jeeps, but as long as there are no Bazookas involved, well im cool then.

Dont like tanks? Well, like you said before, do something else ;)

Not really a matter of balance for gameplay, but say.. well if we can let this "unrealistic ability" slide with tanks, what is the harm with doing so with non-tanks... when it really isn't even that unrealistic..

However, now we're just getting extremely repetitory, either because or language barriers or you just don't understand, but I don't feeling like repeating myself - go back through my statements if you want a reply to this.

Whatever, i dont feel like, banging my head on this anymore.

I'll make clear what is my point of View.

Firing SMGs/Rifles/Pistols from these Cars: Good.

Firing AT Guns from these Cars: Bad.

Dropping Frag Grenades and/or AT Grenades: Good.

We happy? Can we stop this?.

Lol, we won't get it back because tankers are afraid of jeeps ::)

Simple server rule forbiding many bazookas in jeeps and voilà...

Yeah I got that ... :|

All I'm saying is it is funny to see tankers whine about kübelschrecking and such when there is most of the time 6 to 8 tanks for ... 1 recon car.

Plus, they complain that it would be "unrealistic", however all the tanks are used unrealistically, too... so it's just the way it is because of who has the authority. Unjust, but whatever...

I say no, unless its SMGs or deployed MGs (if theres an option to being able to deploy MG in the frontal passangers seat) imo Schreks/Zooks/Piats were too much kicking to be fired at 60 km/h :P
T34 had obsolete shells, no CO periscopes, lack of radio, poor plating alloy, weak cannon, leaking fuel system and little space for crew. But people think it was the best tank during WWII.Quantity not quality.
Bolshevist propaganda did great job.

I'd guess AT cars happened during the war considering they ended up building stuff like this :

Also, most of the time it happened in game the AT gunner was on the back seat, so the guy in the front seat could spray infantry with his smg, so no back blast involved...

Another solution on top of the server rule would be to increase the respawn time of the recon cars, like higher than a tiger or something (> 3 min) ... Good against kübelschreck squads and back cappers as well ...

This thread has gone far enough. Let me leave you with some food for thought.

The decision was made to remove the firing ability from jeeps because there is no way to represent it realistically. You have to either be able to fire all weapons or no weapons. The problem with being able to fire all weapons is that you can fire things like MGs and bazookas from jeeps. You can throw mines, deploy mortars, and fire weapons that you generally would have to lay down to fire. Also, you if you fired a bazooka in a jeep, you'd kill your squad mates with the back-blast.

Jeeps are supposed to be a scouting weapon. Get in, spot for artillery or something, and get out.

For the TL;DR crowd and the mentally deficient, the choice was on or off for all weapons ...

So it was decided all off.


Oh and deleting the dead horse is just as futile as beating it.

You won't get it back because the devs don't like it.

So why have a suggestions forum or Natty speaking about maps being made for fun for everyone if everything is done according to a few people called devs? Doesn't make sense.

Youre arguing communism vs capitalism, now. The devs, and at least a 3rd of us funs dont want it.

But that 3rd is irrelevant because the devs try to 'get' that people want and veto it if it goes against their vision.

Ps. Their vision isnt just fun, if you must know.

Thats BF heroes

that's why it is called a suggestion.

You suggest, dev answer or consider your suggestion.

If you disagree you can still create a mini mod. You can also go and check tournament if your want.
