It seems like it should be able to. This would be a ludicrously simple yet FANTASTIC addition to RO tanking. In addition to making driving easier drivers and commanders.
AlkalineKyle said:just about every tank ever made can do it. if u look in the drive set of most of the tanks (RO made them all the way they really look) you can see that there is no stearing wheel and its just 2 handle rods (the one on the right controles the right track and same as left) push up on the rod that controles what ever track and the tank will turn (if moving) in that direction or if its not moving the tank will pivit that direction, pull down it moves back or again it pivits. push them both foward the tanks moves straigh ahead move them both back and the tank moves straigh back. thats basicly how every tank works. but in RO the tanks dont do that. Most likly cuz it would be to complicated for a player to figure out and drive the tank.

I like that idea. A driver in neutral getting the revs up for turret speed sounds like a winner. This would hopefully make the Tiger less of a sitting duck at close range.[-project.rattus-] said:Which makes me think that a neutral gear would be nice, where you can up the revs without going forward.
This would give crewed tanks another advantage, as you could only put the pedal to the medal if you had a driver.
As a disadvantage, there could be a jitter of the sights induced by the revs which would make aiming at far distances harder, and a louder engine sound, and a huge puff of smoke coming out of the exhausts...
