Question: If we agree that Tankers should not be encouraged to play as infantry, then why does it need to be possible in the first place? Woulden't putting it in there be all for it's own sake? And considdering the effort it would be to do it right, a rather large waste of development time for something the game does not want to encourage anyway?
Little details are nice and all, i felt it was kinda cool that you could take a wizz in a toilet in Duke3D, sure, it was kinda funny they let you do it, but it's all for it's own sake, and this isen't a simple sprite that would have to be drawn and a 5 minute code job, but a large amount of work, for something you don't want to encourage anyway, and then have to spend even more time coding punishments for to disuade people from doing it in the first place..
"Effort versus reward" is right on the money, and it's not like TWI would get anything out of doing it either, because even if they do spend all the time to put it in there, and make sure it doesen't get abused in gamey ways, nobody's going to commend them for it, instead, people will come here and whine about how they can't dismount and go play Rambo like in the Battlefield games, and how grossly unrealistic it is that their Tanker guy can't be as usefull on foot as the infantry, how the feature is practically useless, and how unfun it is that you're only real goal when bailing would be running back to spawn or commit suicide, and that they might aswell not have bothered because it's
