climb in a tank

[FAlcAo- BR]

would be nice if the RO: HOS was possible to climb on top of the tanks and throw a grenade into the opening in a real time.

sorry for bad english. was translated from Portuguese by google ...

couldent those hatches be locked?

As an aside note, I think this has been suggested before.

 

[Capt.Cool]

In the russian army the normally had the hatches unlocked so friendly soldiers can save the tankcrew if the tank was hit and on fire.

But no matter if it were locked or not, tankcommanders open their hatch ingame to look out, so if you shoot the tankcommander the hatch would be wide open, and it would be possible to drop a nade inside...

...I think thats a feature that was missing in Ostfront.

it sounds cool and all that... but I have to wonder how often it would be used, usually tank commanders won't stick their heads out of the hatch if they think it's going to get shot off

in a game like RO, where you don't need help getting out of a tank if it is hit, what is the reasoning for ever unlocking the hatch except when escaping from the tank?

Like I said before, I think it would be cool to do, but it seems like a lot of work for a feature that really won't be used often and probly won't work on anyone but newb tankers

Yep thats right, early on in the pice ruskies had no radios in their tanks so the infantry would give them info all the time. Germans would jump onto the tanks and bang on the hatches and they would open them up unexpectantly for a nice little nade surprise.

to add up on this, how about animations for getting into a vehicle and out of a vehicle? That would be nice as I always could wreck my keyboard when I'm firing my panzerfaust at a Russian tank and the bastid can get out there like one second and can shoot me with this PPSh at the ready! WTF? Yeah, indeed "WTF?", this should be changed as it's simply annoying and way of realism.

seconded.

Hmm, this sounds like an excuse for TWI to buy few real tanks and then do mocap animations with them

 

[Mormegil]

This would only be OK if the tank crew *can* lock their hatches, and have anti-personnel equipment, such as pistol ports, and antipersonnel grenades, as they had in real life.
