Should tanks be a one person operation?
- Thread starter [CoFR]BeerHunter
- Start date
gears could be an option within the game so guys who just want to jump in and go can do it and the realism people can use gears and have the benefit of increased speed and acceleration. A server mod could be made that could force people to use gears.

Its annoying as hell when someone just pops into a tank ans takes off, and whats even more annoying is when someone in the tank with you doesnt have a mic and is incompitant. Which im suprised it doesnt happen that much as it probably would in a diffrent game without a higher need for teamwork but theirs always the odd fellow like that and it grinds my gears!

i always operate tanks alone and do fine. whenever im with someone they never listen to me. Even if they do they can do exactly what you need them to. The only drawback with 1 person is you cannot reload and drive at the same time. 1 player tank works very well

One slightly unrelated thing I'd like to see is that bots don't get in your tank. Ever.
I hate when i'm in a pub server with bots.. and suddenly a bot thinks it'd be real funny to start driving you around in circles towards the enemy.
A delay between switching positions would be excellent. I can also say I haven't actually seen any difference in reloading with a full tank crew vs. solo.
Finally, though people complain about people without a mic trying to cooperate, I don't have a mic, but, its EASY to give commands. the game has all the tank commands (forward, back, enemy left, etc.) mapped perfectly to your numberpad. People on mics can sound fuzzy, but, its very easy to understand someone using proper tank commands with the numberpad.

I've been playing RO now for about two weeks. And that's every day for at least an hour a day. And in that time I must have had about twenty or more coop tank sessions. All of which have been complete disasters.
I now dread the few seconds before my tank sets off. Just incase some idiot jumps into the gunner position. It has got to the stage where I now avoid getting into tanks with other players. The frustration is just too great.

I think solo would be more entertaining (And being a game not a real war, theres no harm in the game simulating the extra crew although under control of ONE player) and the maps could field more tanks and make for more exciting gameplay, I don't pay my internet bill and didn't pay for my copy or Red Orchestra to be forced into a tank with any random on the internets because you guys have some warped sense of teamplay alwayz!!1!!1!!111 = realism!++!!
Lets see, when you start paying my internet bill for my gameplay time, I'll play exactly how you want me to, until then leave us solo tankers in peace.

Wat who are you guys playing with r u sure they werent bots cos the majourity of the time when i team up my fellow tanker is normally half decent eg they wont go on suicide charges etc you do get the odd idiot but i usually just avoid them after the first outing really maybe its the servers i play on but honestly there's not as many idiot tankers as you guys are making out.

No, they are real people (they have pings).
And I'm not trying to make out that there are loads of idiot tankers out there. This is just my experience so far.
Maybe you could tell me which server you play on? Pleeeeaase

One time I was yelling at my driver the bots do a better job

RO has always been about realism! If you want 1 man tanks you might as well get rid of the iron sights and add crosshairs.

As a still serving Soldier and a combat veteran, much less an avid amateur historian, I have been delighted to work with total strangers in schooling them on the nuances of armor combat and armor vehicle teamwork. I'm having a great time playing this game.

If you want one-man vehicles go play Call of Duty or some other simplistic arcade style game. This is as close to a dream game I've ever played and I truly appreciate the team aspect of it all. Shoot, maneuver and communicate, that what the real world is all about folks and I see a lot of it in this game. Needs a little tweaking, especially the armor modeling but I'm loving this game.

Hopefully, RO will gather a solid and mature fan base. At the moment there are a lot of gamers who are just testing the water.
I was one of them a couple of weeks ago. It took me a while to realise that the tank commander was giving me directions.
So maybe I shouldn't be too critical of others.
