Universal carrier variants (missing from mod)
« on: 28-07-2010, 23:07:51 »
Here's a suggestion

why doesn't the Dev team add all the universal carrier variants to this game that were fielded by any number of different armies.

namely: Mortar carrier, PIAT carrier, 2 pounder carrier (with HE shells), Polsten carrier, Vickers and .50 calibre carriers.

Seeing as we are now into our 4th different Theatre of Operations, I feel that it's about time we start seeing vehicles that were around since day one of the WW2 but have never been given their spotlight in this mod.

I guess they aren't in because we haven't gotten around or thought of doing them. You did how ever get a flame thrower carrier in last weeks news, that counts as nothing?

ps, check your pm..

No, no, no. They arent missing. They havent been created @ all.

We cant have everything. Ww2 was too massive. Its not just about more toys, but those that allow battles to feel right. Too much of the wrong vehicle, and everything is made to feel silly

I would however like a Boys Rifle carrier. It even says that in the vehicle section.

You mean the Scout Carrier with boys AT in the front and a Bren as AA? Those are early war Europe if i am not mistaken. They could have been in Africa i guess but i am not sure.

but we can have very rare scoped german weapons?

Vehicles are much cooler than a lame scoped weapon that is rarely in-game anyway.

Devs decision, Devs' rules

Remember its up to the mappers - And if they feel from their research they need one, they get one... Otherwise, wah-wah-waah

I think he just means a UC with a boys mounted on the front. I saw one once at an air show, but forgot to take a picture of it.  ??? It is pretty easy to imagine though. It might make for some interesting variety, but lets face it, it would be (and probably was IRL) useless.

Tbh when it comes to vehicles, these variants will be made if they are needed on a specific map.
As for the wasp, its basically the easiest and most feasible flame-thrower vehicle that the devs could put in the game, and it will come in handy with the maps we currently have aswell.
