I used to love tanking in RO, the whole experience was way better than what I have in RO2 at the moment, I remember having to angle tanks just right in a fight to get maximum deflection from incoming rounds whilst dueling at 1000m with T34's(Tiger was awsome at this if it's done right), is angling even in RO2? If it is I havent noticed, even if it was the map sizes Ive tried so far makes it feel like im fighting in a phone booth with a bazooka.
I did also notice that the ability to change from AP to HE rounds made me somewhat godly, sorry for the guys I was in a server with when I just sat next to the enemy attack point racking up kills with HE again and again, whilst switiching with no effort between round loadouts if a tank arrived, I was just doing what the game let me do and it felt wrong, and I was accused of ruining the the map!. I wont even mention the AI MG kills
racking up on my behalf whilst I was in the can!
Then there are enemy tanks with the uncanny ability to take 5 or 6 rounds and then one shot me as soon as the turret on me just felt broken. ( I can buy being unlucky, but this happened far too many times and I was usually well hull down in great positions).
I also have a problem with over excited Ai tank crew screaming like girls at a Justin Beiber gig at the slightest ping of incoming anywhere on the tank, the first time this happened to me I saw on lone guy with an AT weapon not being very effective and killed him, not the huge barrel of an enemy tank I was expecting o.0.
I also agree with the total lack of suprise available to tankers on some maps, you have a set route to go and thats it, fine for balance reasons, it just doesn't sit well when you have a tactical tanker on the team who can't do what they want to support the team because they are effectively on rails thanks to map design, its far too easy to pick tanks off when you know where they are going to be 100% of the time, whats the point in the tank being there, just to spam HE into the distant fog hoping to get cheap kills?.
Tanks need a huge improvement and better maps imo.
In RO2 you can also angling your tank. Try it on 11 o clock.
