Tank Delay Seat Change Poll

[U3BAPuHCKUU*_4yBAK]

IMHO, need add to ability to select position in tank / Car BEFORE entering (like in OFP) . When you near Vehicle, menu appears (like voice ommands) and you can select, where to seat (Driver / Gunner / Machinegunner) . It would be useful in SU-76 and BA-64, when u cannot change seats between driver and gunner before leaving vehicle.

Good thinking. That is also a very good option to my opinion.

The delay is a good idea. But, I would prefer it as a server-side option, rather than hardcoded in a patch.

 

[Mike_Nomad]

there's a poll on this topic under the thread name exodus two threads down but yes i would like a delay but maybe as a server option first so we can test it.

Agreed.... as an Admin adjustable option is fine. Hard coded is wrong.

 

[Murphy]

Of course it shouldn

 

[gonzman]

Delayed switching is fine with me as long as nobody forces people to use a tank with somebody else, end of story.

 

[Grobut]

And again, Gonzx, the people vote against you, and thats in 4 polls about the subject now? 5? i belive we can put it to rest now.

 

[d4v]

It shouldent be hard at all to show the animation of moving from seat to seat!

 

[GonzoX]

Gonz, seriously. Let it die and quit whining. If you're THAT offended by what the devs do to their game, don't play it. Please, by all means, feel free to leave the servers, these forums, and anything else associated with RO.​

Nope, sorry ain't gonna happen.

And here is the real deal:

You may get switch seat delay but you will not get forced tank crews. Just ain't gonna happen.

So feel free to stop playing ROOST if that offends you.

 

[GonzoX]

Where is the "yes" option?
Where is the "I don't know yet, I would like to try before I decide" option
Or even the "Something else, see my post" option.

Another fine poll...

Feel free to start your own poll. And we will see how unbiased that will be.

I did, didn't I? It's the "exodus" poll if you didn't find it yet.
And biased would be if it had one-sided options. And all the options were there. Yes, No, Maybe and other.
How unbiased can you make it?
You really start to ridicule yourself now...

Good. I never wanted forced tank crews, at all. I'm not sure where you got the impession. As such, I shall continue to be another Son of Russia in the defense of the Motherland

I'd even like a mode where one player = one tank, since the game simulates everything we have already why not just simulate 1 person under the control of both driver and the gunner at the same time, an extra player can get in to do the MGing if they wished.

More time spent working with more tanks, and less time spent trying to get orders across to your occasionaly deaf/cant read vehicle text driver or gunner.

Meh, despite being as unrealistic as anything one thing about BF2 I really like is the simplicity of their tanks, the tanks them selves might not be realistic but it's easy enough for one person to contol a tank in that game, just move with the keyboard and do the turret aiming with the mouse.

Imagine a 15v15 tank battle, as in 15 tanks per side, that could be alot more intense, all with the ability to move and aim and do all the things real tank crews can do, at the same time. It's not possible to perfect this with the current communication gap between driver and gunner.

It is bad for the gameplay AND bad for the realism.

Bad for gameplay? If I were forced/coerced into taking the majority of retards that play this game on as a crew member, I would no longer play the game. That seems to speak of bad gameplay. Realism? Do you seriously believe that switching between positions in the tank is actually meant to simulate the crew member moving from one part of the tank to another in the middle of a battle. It's not. That's absurd. If a human player takes a tank solo, they are forced to play the roles of multiple crew members simultaneously, and of course this is impossible. No one human player can simultaneously operate two positions to the same level of effectiveness as two human players of equivalent skill.

Just be honest: what people are asking for here is a built-in advantage for clan/squad players, nothing more.

Switching between seats has NOTHING to do with realism. If realism were the primary factor, then switching seats would not be allowed at all and players would be forced to take-on all 4- 5 crew members, including a human player that would do NOTHING but load the gun. This would kill gameplay.

You seem to be thinking in the same way I do. I'm a fan of realism, but things don't have to be pushed out so far that every single station of every vehicle must be manned by a human player at the same time to work properly, there's no harm in having players switch between simulated crew positions or even having control over both at the same time.

You started this whole thing with your biased poll. I did the same exact thing and now your panties are all riled up about it.

Deal with it.

 

[Werner]

The seat change delay is enough. I bet there must be situations in which you may need even solo tankers (like if the troops are stuck in the battlefield and only one player respawns near the tank). So leave the ability to tank solo but make it a bit more difficult for them.

Look the majourity just want to see a delay brought in thats it, we dont want to force anything and btw dont call everyone a retard have a bit of patience with other people who may not have your godlike tanking skills you never know you might actually find the experience rewarding.

It was an open poll. I didn't even mention locking or hardcoding. I was talking about an incentive (you understand the word incentive, right?)

The options of a biased poll would be:
No
No way
No way in hell
No, f**k no

I even gave the option to answer in a totally open way.

I think you say it is biased because I ask a question about something you speculated on. I was just trying to find out if you were right.

If you have another idea about what biased means then try to explain what you mean by it.

Oh, and another thing. Why did you need to create 2 extra polls about almost the same subject? Because it didn't turn out you are right?
Oh wait a minute, mine was biased...

it is quite clear who has the bias. it is what it is. clear as day.

PS. has the NSA used Steam to spy on you yet? (where a ROFL icon when you need one?)
