the jeeps I driven in-game haven't had a horn sound. it's harder to get ppl's attention to give them a ride if they can't be given an audible cue.

edit: are u sure Ionizer? I could have sworn I have leaned on the Willys horn. IRL it has a horn anyways, it's got quite a sharp sound to it that is very distinctive.

 

Maybe you confused it with the Chevy? That one had a horn ingame in 2,15.

What bugs me the most is not the speed of vehicles, but how slow they turn, the M3A1 Halftrack is the perfect example.
Okay, they might not have been great at turning IRL, but come on...

I'd say this is the end of the AT Kübelwagen.

In all honest, i think that players should use lorries and jeeps to transport troops to a friendly flag or at least close to one aslong as you know what your doing, but nobody in their right minds would drive a jeep or lorry/Truck in full plain view of an enemy tank or Anti-tank gun!, especially across a field where the enemy has a good killing field...i'd place a truck or transport in a woodland area at least your not spotted by enemy planes and also semi-camouflaged from enemy tanks and if you are spotted you can use the terrain to your advantage, especially useful for anti-tank infantry!.

The jeep charges and AT-driving were fun, but required quite a suspension of disbelief.

While a jeep or Kübel might have been (and still be) able to drive so fast on a paved (or sufficiently flat unpaved) road, doing that cross-country or in sand was not realistic by any stretch of imagination. Not to mention that in real life, nobody (outside Japan :p) would have been suicidal enough to pull stunts like that.

APC's were invented for a reason, namely that "soft" vehicles tended to die horribly when they reached the battlefield, so this is one more change that makes the game more realistic. I think that the new speed for wheeled vehicles is fine. It's still much faster than walking/running, but requires you to either bail out early and charge on foot, or take a detour away from known enemy positions.

Guys, try the halftracks. The speed has been increased, they are really agile now and the mg is accurate as hell. Forget the trucks, the mechanized future is finally here.

Only problem with apcs is though, they are still vulnerable to anti-gun fire and tanks etc. so my suggestion is, use them to get as close to a flag as possible, just make sure no anti-tank stuff is around though :/ (goodwood isn't a good place to use APCS since goodwood is basically alot of fields)

Playing as Germans in Goodwood it's funny to watch how many times the Brits charge from the Prior (sp?) towards Cagny in their halftracks, only to be eaten alive by the twin 88's... even though they must know that the guns are there. ;D

Playing as the Brits you curse the halftrack driver and tell him to take a detour "just in case", but he does not listen. >:(

I think the current speed is good as it is, both when it comes to trucks and jeeps

Looks so much better now instead of the Schumacher trucks & jeeps we have had before

And they are still a better alternative then walking, win x 2
