Tanks dissapearing

[RoclorD]

It really sux than when I get out of the tank for a minute or so it suddenly dissapearing...

 

[Lizardhands]

That happens because the tank is damaged. If you leave a damaged tank, it'll disappear after a little while. It'd **** more if this didn't happen, because there'd be loads of abandoned tanks on the battlefield and none in the spawn area.

 

[RoclorD]

If I'm still alive and don't start driving other tank it should stay.

 

[Ruprecht]

hm, i think it has to do with zones and the distance you have to your tank when its undamaged, when its damaged its blowing up after a few seconds.

i think if you park your tank somewhere at a road and walk in a house that is in a diffrent zone you somehow disapear for the tank, and it does the same. as long you wont walk into another zone you can run quite a bit away from it and it wont disapear, as long you dont move out of range, didnt test yet how far that might be.

i know my tank with a knocked out engine blows up about a half second after you get out...

 

[Crusher]

I think the tank should be connected to the players who uses it, when they die the tank disappears

 

[RoclorD]

Just thought of adding a poll here.

 

[Letum]

how about tanks only disapear when no players are neer them and they have been empty for over 120 seconds.

How about tanks only disapear when no players are neer them OR they have been empty for over 75 seconds.


And also transport should disappear with shorter time.

I think it's great as it's now. Both for vehicle enter/exit abusing and keeping vehicles more at spawn. Why do you want to quit your vehicle anyway? You wanna be like "those" bailers who jump right before they recieve a shot and enter afterwards to shoot back? Or is it just for "peaceful" reasons?

Real tank commanders in WW2 often would get out of their vehicles to explore the area on foot so IMO it is ridiculous when a tank disappears when you do that.

It was forbidden to get out of you're tank in the battlefield (atleast for the germans).

RO models actual combat, not the usual recon or guarding missions. You have a binoc on the tank, use it.

For many reasons - for example - call arty support, plant satchel, clear buildings. At if sometimes take some time - and whoooops - vehicle gone.

Stop going solo all the time and leave one guy in the tank, problem solved.

 

[RoclorD]

I don't go solo if possible. Sometimes you have to.

not as long as you are in combat.

But it was even part of the training to leave the tank behind, when you are on reconnoissance

This gives you an immens advantage, because you can almost immediatly fire your first shot, as you get the clear line of fire during the following approach. Your opponent has no chance, to spot you that fast.

There are a few nice descriptions about this in Otto Carius book "Tiger im Schlamm"

And for us English speaking folk, that is "Tigers in the Mud."

Yes, to prevent server lag. You shouldn't be wandering away from your tank anyway, that isn't a very good idea and it isn't realistic. You should only be getting out of your tank if it's about to be destroyed or you are defending it from a soldier with a panzerfaust/manpurse.
