At guns

[studabakahawk]

Ok so we have infantry can we make AT guns part of the game too?
Make them imobile, yet have 30 degree or so traverse the fact that most radio sites have an at gun emplacement already, should make this doable.
this way if your infantry or bailed your mount you can still engage a fortified building or steel monster.
I just dont think the time frame would allow pushing or setting up at gun under fire.

 

[EvilHobo]

Um.

Hmm.

There are already AT Guns in the game.

 

[D3terioNation]

Only certain maps have them. Not many but a they do exist

 

[Murphy]

There is one on BeachAssault iirc.

 

[Karabiner98k]

Berezina and Dubrava also have AT guns.

 

[Solo4114]

Yeah, we just need more mappers to add them in (and more AT guns for both sides, actually).

 

[Aeneas2020]

Yeh AHZ and DH have both added AT guns to RO....

maybe you should search the forums before posting this, also you might wanna check out the maps posted above especially the ever popular kreigstadt by hobo which features Pak43 AT guns

 

[[RMC]Riggs]

Ptrd............or as i like to call it, P-turd.........but its only effective against non-tigers n panthers.............n those are usually from specific angles.........but its fun to annoy the hell outta the people driving them............

 

[Aeneas2020]

i think he meant like proper AT artillery peices rather than the hand held jobbies but yeh its an interesting weapon

 

[Funker42]

Plenty of AT guns on Kriegstadt and there was that one Russian defense map whose name I can't remember but was real fun but no one plays anymore.

 

[18Bravo]

A lot of custom maps have that pak45 lately, RO-Elnya has the zis3 I think it is, pak43 on RO-Kriegstadt. Also believe that AHZ is getting a pak40 mounted in the back of a halftrack, and while its not really an gun emplacement, there is a pantherturm (sp?) in Kriegstadt as well. Though on Elnya the zis3 is set up like a battery, theres like 5-6 of them side by side, that could be great if there was a map was set for those to act as in-map artillery.

I would like to see some german Flak 88's of both variants. they were some of the only weapons the germans had to counter the T-34's in the early years. perhaps also 75 mm's?

As for the russians, the 122 mm zis antitank gun would be good. immobile IS2 would probably make many people happy.

Answered a few, but created 50 more!

Answered a few, but created 50 more!

I choose to say no more on the subject for the time being.

Ok, all I'll add is what I have said before: smallest RO map I have ever made, maximum three objectives. Big map, but small objective region.

The 88mm is overkill m8 the PaK 38 was more than a match for the T-34 it was standard practise was to pull up a Pak 38 (long high velocity 50mm kwk 38 L/60) when the T-34's attacked. Although the PaK 38 gained a favorable reputation againt most Russian tanks ( T-34 included) there was still the ever resilent KV tanks. The German realized they needed heavy firepower to silence these heavies..lol since the reliable Pak38 needed APCR and to get within suicide range to have a chance at penetrating The Germans used tactics learned in France and pulled up the infamous 88mm flak gun to "destroy the mighty Kv's" early on later they developed the high velocity Pak40 which also proved effective in the hands of experienced crews.

As for the russians, the 122 mm zis antitank gun would be good. immobile IS2 would probably make many people happy.

There was a 152mm one that I like not sure what it was called but you frequently see it around in ww2 vids. Looks like a disembodied ISU-152 gun. I believe the russians made use of their 85mm flak gun a little bit for AT purposes that would be a nice to see in RO.

at guns

It would be nice to be able to move the at guns before every match so you wouldn't know yeah the gun is behind the corner i will go arround and take it from back even maybe to put them inside of the buildings(just first floors) to be more camuflaged(sorry for bad english)

 

[Slyk]

TWI instituted a randomizer for the AT guns. The mapper is responsible for coding the guns. The mapper has the option to create 'groups' of guns and then say what number of these spawn: 5 guns, spawn 3. That creates some unique game play but it is up to the mapper to do so.

 

[Major von Mauser]

I think Mr. Studebaker Hawk (nice name btw) is new to RO ,and thus probably hasn't played the maps that include AT guns yet.
