kibnda a lot of crap untill the end...the main point is underlined, but above that offers reasons adn the idea behind the idea!

-----------------
its simply a downer for the amazing tank combat system ro2 will have.

i always liked trying to fight and survive as a crew in a huge battle with only a pistol. sneaking up on some dude and pistol whipping him, taking his kar, killing 3 mroe people, and then finally getting back to teh front.

how easy/hard would it to be to code this? i know how to code for the GEM engine (men of war), never tryed anything else! is there plenty of documation on how to mod the unreal engine?

will some one take up my cause and mod this in?



i was thinking of buying a server for the small clan i run....im deffinatly going to have this in.
------------------------

HOWVER....germans were told dont leave the tank till its on fire. event if its knocked out, your saffer inside the tank then to get out and try to dodge co-axil rounds! but if its on fire, ten you get hte hell out and try your best.

the thing is, tank crew did not liek to sit and burn in their tanks....and not being able to boil out and look over the ridge before driving over kinda makes it...unrealistic. i do that all the time in ro2, and get many kills that way. i also take a huge risk by doing that. however, then you have a tank full of AI.....jsut sitting there.


i dont know, mabey mode it so you cnat bail till tis on fire...and the AIwill get killed by the fire. so its like...OMG i cnat belive i got out...the rest of the crew died...OMG im so lucky....and OMG this game is cool and so immersive!


then again, the base game should have the abilty to bail out when the tank is on fire....and ONLY when its on fire! you will still get blown up old RO1 style when a IS2 shoots your PZ3, but if a PTRS jsut sets you on fire, you can get out and pistol his butt!

Regarding how well unreal is documented, IMO it's one of the more documented game engines out there. Google for the UDN (Unreal Developers Network). There you find everything you need to get started workin emu unrealscript so when the RO2 SDK hits you'll be able to make quick work of coding up mutators/mods for Ro2

you're wasting words, kain. first figure out how to implement it then worry about the justifications, gameplay mechanics, etc.

Yes, in a mod like DH I really would like to bail out, because it delivers a really immense gameplay if youre tanking with a buddy and manage to bail out, get some zooks and hit back the tank that shot yours!

exactly! i loved doing that! i wonder if some tanks had a "kit".

liek it had some samo for hidding behind the lines, a rifle and ammo, mabey a AT weapon (at nade/panzerfaust/pocket sized :IS2:) . i think the germans had somethign like this, but i cnat remember for sure...



i uderstand why TW made the no-bail system, but it was fun to take pot shoots at a tank crew with your 8mm at like 500 yards and watch him try to run for cover, as you hide behind your friends panther!

in ARMA 2 when ever we take out a tank....with either another tank, arty, rocket...whatever....we all basicly scream ANY CREW MAKE IT OUT.....and its liek 4 people saying it at once. why?...becasue crew can be deadly.


and what about the Tanker Garand!!!!!! basicly a sawed off m1 garand used by tank crews......i dont really know hte history...and i dont think they were ever issued officialy...probly some gun smiths what joined the tankers made some. but a short as hell m1 garand would be boss!

mabey a folding stock kar 98 for the germans (they made them...along with liek 90 different varrients of the kar98).....and give the russians their combat spears!

Us tank crew commanders used m3 guns or M1A1 Carabines!

German tank crews get one mp 40 and a few P08!
The folding K98 was for paratroopers and a complete disaster :D

But I agree I love this moments in RO when you and your buddies just make it out in time and strike back! That was so awesome
