Nebelkerzenabwurfvorrichtung in RO2

[Tank!]

In Red Orchestra 1 the Panzer IV's had this rectangular contraption located on the hull rear:

This is the Nebelkerzenabwurfvorrichtung, N.K.A.V, or smoke grenade rack. In the first RO it was only a prop (does not work) as the old game engine probably could not handle spawning smoke from the back of a tank. With RO 2's newer engine, claims of better and more detailed tanks, and the inclusion of the Panzer III J and Panzer IV F2 (both of which were equipped with N.K.A.V's) will tankers be able to use the advantages of smoke concealment in RO 2?



N.K.A.V.

Panzer III J

Panzer IV F2

Nebel what? Germans and their >9000-character words
But anyway, smoke concealment for Germans tanks would be a very useful addition to the game. If they had that IRL, I see no problem in implementint it in RO2. I support the usage of the Nebelkerzawerfer or whatever

I would really love to see this in the game. It would add another element to armored tactics.

 

[aD.Luoson]

I would also like this in the game

Would be great for tactics

 

[Baron Rusu]

Make it so. The tanks are very impressive as it is, why stop stop adding goodies now if they are proper machanics?


Incidently i thought you were taking the piss with the title before i read what you posted

Yes smoke nades would be very nice to have!!

PS. Damn, I just remembered smoke nades in CoH and how they made the shermans invisible lol

If you can pronounce it .. sure why not .

I'm not history buff, so tell me. Did the Russian tanks have similar capabilities, or at least. Ones that will be in ROHOS, as it may be too much work for just giving the germans something the Russians wont get either. ?

No they did not, at least I

It would be nice to see this together with the other suggestion of those viewing hatches if the main aiming device dies out.

MDSH smoke canisters for the T34 weren't used until 1945 according to wikipedia, so soviet tanks wouldn't have it. But if there is a need to balance it the tank commander could perhaps throw some regular smoke grenades out of his hatch.

Its details like this that really would make HOS stand out, beside having the fully modelled interior. For instance in the interior the clock that points out the tanks main gun position is an awesome feature.

They had these welll...something lke these in BFBC:2 So I don't see why they shouldn't add it into RO:2

I don't mean to be harsh.... but before requesting things or responding....
Ask yourself first: Is it historically accurate?
Then post.
BFBC2 has absolutely nothing in common with RO except that it is an FPS.
Using that game as a basis for what equipment RO should or should not have is being rather uninformed about TW's RO games.

 

[Zetsumei]

be kind floyd.

 

[TWB*SixKiller]

I think it would be a great idea. I also believe it would be cool to have a SL option when calling arty to be able to call in a round of smoke!

 

[Extension7]

Maybe a hero thing or unlock-able like the scopes on snipers?

If not, all these tanks shall spout smoke from their rears!!!

Be funny in 64player tank matches... :IS2:

How the hell did you spell that?

Nebelkerzenabwurfvorrichtung?

It is historically accurate! It was even on the PZIII and so on at least one tank of three!

NR. 3 is the Nebelkerzenabwurfvorrichtung!

You probably mean how to pronounce it?

I'm not saying it isn't historically accurate. I was responding to using BFBC2 as a basis for including it in RO. I'd just gotten through reading a plethora of rather 'nonsensical' suggestions. I would have been better served taking my own advice and should have just 'bitten my tongue'. My apologies for not being more tactful.


And I thought is was spelled: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
