New Tanks to be added
- Thread starter infernos
- Start date
Yes, just give it time when the SDK is released. Just like in the original and its mods we should see more as the months roll by. I think Darkest hour mod has over 40 different vehicles at this time. The only drawback is it takes a lot more time to create a vehicle in RO2 than it did in RO1
Are there going to be added new tanks to suplement the small number of 2 tanks in the game?
As DAT said, the vehicles in RO2 have much more detail added to them compared to the ones in RO1.
They have to not just model the outside of the tanks, but basically the entire interior now, due to also animating your character moving through the various areas of the vehicle, while also animating the other crew members.
That and the damage physics are more complicated than those found in RO1..... I think the devs said once that for every RO2 vehicle they design, they could have designed 3 RO1 vehicles in the same amount of time..... but to say the least, it's not a quick process.
But yes, more tanks, more vehicles, transports, etc. will be introduced into RO2 in the future.
I also believe I read one of the devs mentioned last week that some new content is coming to RO2 in the next patch or two...... not exactly sure what that means.... maybe some transports, maybe some new weapons..... maybe a map or two..... who knows?
.... Well, I suppose the Devs know
I'll take your flying tank, and raise you one aerospace IS-2.
Make it happen moders.
By the way, the planned Soviet light tank is the T-70. I was hoping for a return of the T-60, as I love that auto-cannon.

Well reading my new book on the Panzer III (Panzer Tracts 3-3, by T. Jentz). I found something interesting. According to this book the Panzer III Ausf Js with the 50mm L60 gun where in fact renamed Ausf Ls in April of 1942. It also seems that their was practically no difference between the Js and Ls (interestingly the Ausf J, L, M & N where all part of the same series (the 8th)).
Bigger question-
Will the new vehicles be available on current maps? Universals on commisars, Stug 3's on Gumrak?

I'd rather they have put less detail on the vehicles but have like 6 different kinds during launch.
i mean the fully modeled interiors are nice but they lose their novelty in about the first 3min. Also you die so quick you never have to go through that cool transition between stations...

If a troop carrier is planned I have faith we should be getting a nice sized combined arms map to go with it.. A new Arad perhaps
Unless its only meant for driving 5 yards
Have to agree with Lucif though I wish they hadnt bothered with the 3d interiors.. Probably going to make it impossible for any free mods to be created. Im not all together keen on the external look of the tanks either.. They seem to have this blurry quality about them and Im fully ultra.. Though it could be something to do with that odd way moving images get blurred when your in third person waiting to spawn.

I disagree. I love the feel of the interiors. Its one of the most awesome and immersive things about this game. No other game (except steel beasts pro PE) lets you actually sit in the tank and experience it.
I do not want to go back to what equates to looking out of a giant glass scope the entire game.
I can't see why they couldn't put Half-Tracks & Transports on Barracks, FallenFighters, Pavlov's House.... both HT's and Tanks could be put on Gumrak (if they make it into a combined arms map later), as well as Pavlov's House Com's House.
I think all the current maps, except Grain Elevator and Apartments, could have any new vehicles added in with little issue.
.... Or the instant jumping from one spot to the other.
It is a lot of work for such eye candy in-game.... but by doing what they did, they can carry over the models into future games and would only have to tweak polys and textures to make them more detailed, rather than having to re-create them all from scratch again.
When it comes to the details in the vehicles of RO2, Tripwire set the bar like they did with the Mod and many of the features in it.... which many other popular FPS's have brought into their games..... now they'll either have to try and meet that bar by adding the same level of detail in their vehicles.... or be left with half-arsed looking vehicles and mechanics that are dated.

Maybe we will be able to turn Gumrak into a "Muddy Tigers" type Combined Arms map later with the SDK
