hos said:I have to say I like things the way they are. If you don't find you have a big advantage in a full tank you are not using team work well enough. Not to mention 90% of the random people that will jump in a tank with me don't have voice comms and will blindly charge towards enemy positions till we're dead. Nerfing solo tanks would be enough to make me, and I bet other people quit this game.
LOL, This is exactly what I have been preaching about in this and many other similar threads. Unfortunately us lone tankers are the silent majority (except me and you that is).
If the TT folks get what they want then what you described is exactly what will happen I'm afraid. But personally I think the developers are smart enough to do the right thing and not alianate (or worse, disect ) one group of players from the other.
From what I understand, the TT folks (the minority) want to force all the single tank drivers (the majory) to pair up inside tanks so that they (The TT Folks) aren't left at spawn with no tanks available for their crew.
Here is how some of these folks see things:
If we (Single Tankers) are arrogant enough to take a tank for our selfish selves, we should be penalized in such a way that being a lone tanker will no longer be any more fun and will no longer be an effective tactic in wining a round of capture or defend online.
I guess their thinking is that this will somehow either convice single tankers to either play "their" way or to regulate ourselves as infantry supporting "their" tanks if we do not want to play their way.
They percieve all single tankers as being that one selfish 10 year old that yells at people to get out of "his" tank. And they tend to stereotype us all into that one rather negative catagory of player. I constantly find myself being defensive for something I do not even do online.
They believe that three individuals teamworking together in one tank is more effective and more fun that three single tank drivers teamworking together in seperate tanks.
Although they make some valid points, IMO the reality is that they should not fix something that isn't really broke. They want to force compliance to their prefered way of playing on everyone else and this will IMHO only lead to empty servers and the game going downhill from there.
I have offered my own idea for a semi-solution to their percieved problem but it was not well recieved here.
If anybody here has a better solution, Im all ears.
