M113 - new here

[Eisprinzessin]

Hi!

Dont know if it was a theme before, but are there plans to umplement tanks or light transport vehicles?

The M113 was a pure VN Beast.

M113 is in prototype stage at the moment.

I haven't had a chance to play yet with the update, but doesn't the new cosmetic DLC give you the option of using the US Tanker helmet? That's got to be a good sign.

Well since TWI is attending on E3's PC Gamer show, I sincerely hope they'll present M113 there. Or not limited to it.

M113 is just a battle taxi; and maps are not big enough to need something that loud/slow. It would be like sitting in a chopper piloted by worst pilot ever, even if you don't crash...you die to RPG.

I have a few ideas for implementing M113 successfully. Adding it on my Vantage Point map is one of them. Pretty linear route for M113 movement, non linear one for infantry however.
If it moves, it succeeds, but if not, team loses the game. Would fit pretty well in tower defense map alike or the wagon game mode from TF2 for example.
