Lock emplacements position.
« on: 26-08-2011, 02:08:18 »
I would like to suggest a system, to lock down emplacements, in order for them to be more effective in combat. The button could be toggled or perhaps selected from the ammunations menu. The gun or emplacement could be locked in place and not move erraticaly like the current movable emplacement do.

I second this, its really frustrating to see your pak slowly sliding when youre in a face-off with a tank.

+ could it be possible to let the icon of vehicle always hiden ?

IIRC, it's an unfixable engine bug ( the sliding)

Im sorry to hear that  :( But well, could it be changed with that button to a static emplacement?

Not sure, we'd have to wait for a dev to comment to find out

Particularly like the idea about hidden icons. Its supposed to be moveable, I'd rather it be located by sight, then position on the map. And when located, you shouldn't know from minimap if its in use by the enemy.

Although, this might cause TKs, unless it is visible when used by friendlies..

About deployment, I'd say, the devs need to solve the dissapear for ever when entered and exited, otherwise you'd have these mobile deployable guns dissapear once they are made to move again, or when exited.

I'd say, get deployable weapons (In general), to NOT dissapear when exited, but only when G is pressed to pick them up. And have them not be lost when exited without having been shot... That in place, then I think Static guns might be able to work similarly....

And locking them will also allow better 360 rotation... which is very needed with these.

some AT guns are particularly difficult to handle, mainly the PaKs

The 6 pounder and 76mm is alright.

I support this

Was in a mobile 76mm in a tourney map and had tanks moving from right to left

I was currently as far left as I could be, so I had no other option than to move forward slightly and turn left to hit the tanks.  There was a small ditch there and my tank got caught in and ended up 10-15 meters down the hill I was originally on top of, as well as facing the wrong way (slightly).  I got taken out by a friendly mine (as we'd mined the area)
