Tank reload times dependant on crew numbers

[Druidor]

Just had a thought that would make it more benificial for players to team up in tanks.

If there are more people in the tank then in theory they should be able to reload the gun faster (More hands make less work).

So why not make it so that if there are 2 people in the tank they can load the gun faster than the solo tank players thus make it more benifical to share.

It seems that 3 people in tank would make reloads a bit faster, but no difference between 1 and 2: which is strange as reload time should improve better (ratio wise) with 2 people comparing to 1, rather than 3 to 2.

tanks in RO:O have a build in loader guy you cant see.

as far as i know no other crewmember played any part in the reload process so why should it improve reload times.

the only weird thing is that the reloader dusnt work unless somebody is in the commander possition.

Union worker, doesn't do anything unless supervised

I like the idea. It would encourage multicrewing which seems to be the exception rather than the rule.

Let's not argue about whether or not it's "realistic," since solo-crewing a tank isn't realistic to begin with.

LOL@VonWulf!

I think that is exactly what we need to deter solo tankers.

I agree that it is not realistic since the driver and front MG gunner didn't help with reloading but I see solo tanking much more unrealistic than a reloading time bonus for having a fully crewed tank.

(But I also agree that solo tanking can sometimes be the only way you can get anything done, espically with bots or other players who dont know what to do yet.)

It could be that when you had a full crew the reloading time was as it is now, then for each empty slot in the tank would add like 5 seconds, more or less.

Maybe it could be a server option, so that servers can have this on or off.

there is only one loader mate, no room for 2 people to load a shell, you'd get in eachother way IRL.
i understand why you want it, for teamplay etc, but as RO is a realistic (as close as can be up to now, and near future if you ask me ) i dont think this should be implemented.
otherwise it would have been a good idea

if they had a reloader slot for a tank, I would be a reloader all the damn time and become a master of reloading

Yea I think its a good idea since tanks are all ready based on gameplay over realism.

Do they have baiting in the game?


Nevermind...

As it is solo-tank people cannot reload the cannon when they are in a seat other than the one for the turret.

This makes it ALREADY advantageous to have multiple people in a tank, because it means you can reload and drive around at the same time.
