tank commander should scream "FIRE!" not?

[SchutzeSepp]

hi, i have a little suggestion here, when you are in the gunner position of a tank, you are in fact in the commanders position since you use the gun sight and commander copula.
well in RL ( at least for german tanks) it was the commander who looked tru the visor and when the gun had to be fired he would scream "FUER!" ( not sure of spelling) and the gunner would trigger the cannon.
so my suggestion is: when you press the fire key, you should hear yourself screaming "fire!" and half a second later the gun fires.
this is just a little bittle tiny winy realism improvement that would not be so complicated to add in a future update i think.
especially the delay is important, between the fire and actual firing, in RL commanders had to take that in account ( there seems to be a delay in RO also, but i think it's because of my ping really )

Feuer

I would rather hear the empty shell case landing on the the turret floor! But that would be a nice touch too...

 

[Oi!Oi!Oi!]

"Crew sounds" was suggested months ago.

I think it's a must for ambience.

Feuer

BANG BANG FEUER FREI

I love the sound of this idea, both hearing "FEUER!", then a split second, and then the gun firing with a tremendous noise. Then, the noise of the shell hitting the floor of the turret and bouncing around a bit, with that typical metal on metal "ting" noise.

This would really add to the atmosphere, and really make tank combat truly intense, with all the screams and noise going on.

Yeah go Rammstein! I'm listening to Dalai lama right now actually.

Komm hier, bleib hier
wir sind gut zu dir

komm hier, bleib hier

Very nice idea. Would make the tank feel more like it has a whole crew, rather than just a driver and commander.

I would also like the "Loaded!" command to be automated. We have it in game, but no one ever uses it. Why not have the AI loader shout it after the shell has been loaded? Nice bit of ambience and functional because even if you miss the sound of the shell being loaded, its another audio cue for you.

 

[Petrovich-]

Yea, I have wanted this for a very long time.
He could scream such stuff as 'Loaded!' 'Fire!' 'Taking Damage!'

 

[Jhaxavier]

Yeah, we need this. Tank fights are just two or more tanks quietly dueling. It would make it SO intense if the crew automatically shouts out teh damage and stuff (e.g. "We're burning!" when it's burning, duh, and "Get out!" when the tank is on its last legs, er, treads)

Tank commanders CAN say "Fire at Will!" (variation on the tank cmdr/NCO's Engage command) but it should be automatic...

would be nice of commander and loader were 2 diff positions. thus making it harder for team tankers.

 

[Velcro Warrior]

I like the "loaded" command... and the "we're burning!"...

 

[Letum]

Don't they say "SHOOT!" and not "fire"?

If you shout "fire" in a tank its your fault if everyone bails out and starts pouring water all over it.

 

[Heldentod]

in german "Feuer" has different meanings
1. fire(that burns) 2. fire (shooting)

when the "Feuer!" sound is put in i would also like to hear a "Nachladen!" (Reload)

 

[Zoring]

Geladen! Feuer! FA-TOOM *creak, clang!* *reloading noise* Geladen! Feuer!

sounds like fun to me. After all the tank is sposed to represent a 4/5 man crew not just driver/gunner even when your solo tanking and changing possies it's still meant to be 5 people in there

Which is why it woudl be great to have bots as well in the tank (just player models with animations)

Exactly! I have always been taught to say "shoot" around vehicles and ships.
It's common sense safety that avoids confusion and can save lives.

 

[billyboy]

+1 agree with adding those sounds!

 

[Oi!Oi!Oi!]

Seems like it would be pretty easy to add in the game too.

 

[SchutzeSepp]

thanks for the support guys,

yes it would be cool to also have the loader shout "fertig geladen!" (loaded) when the gun is ready to fire.
and why not hear the driver shout automatically" we have thrown a track" or "the engine has broke down"

and another good sound would be when you change from AP to HE you hear the commander shout "change the munition!"

i know that when the cannon would jam, the entire crew would have to bail out and one of them would have to go in and unload the cannon wich could explode...

 

[Avron]

Sorry, but this is not a good idea.

The commander choosed the target, but it was up the gunner to press the trigger. The commander didn't know if the sight was on the target so why the hell should he give the fire command?

A voice message for "loaded" would be nice, indeed.
