Is it going to be possible in this game? I really hope because it was boring to sit down there and watch other peoples face, (no emotions). If there is going to be these vehicles.

I would think when they DO add halftracks later on we would be able to peek out and pretty much use it as a cover system and such.

The halftracks in the original R.O were epic, and I hope Tripwire does their best to put out a troop-transport DLC as soon as possible, following release. Considering the amount of depth put into ROHOS so far, I would expect this to be possible!
I also hope that they add some of the myriad of different SdKfZ-variants that were out there - armed with MG34's, short-barrelled 75mm cannons, 2cm autocannons, 37mm anti-tank guns... oh my, the possibilities...

^ Elaborate instead of giving a smirky response and negative feedback. Tripwire has been open about adding content in post-release DLC's, and the troop-transports were a significant part of the original release.

I hope the variant of the German half track is the one with 2 MG34's.

I also think the driver will have the same kinda options with view ports and hatches as the tanks. And the infantry in the back will have options to peek out, fully stand out and shoot, or sit.

My question though... Will there be an animation for getting out of the halftrack?! :O!

I would love to see us having the ability to shoot out of half tracks. But I'm scared that might make a clown car out of the HT.

Well, as far as I know, halftracks were designed to be shot out of by its passengers. So, that would be pretty sweet if TWI allowed for that feature.

he's smirking at your use of the term "dlc" which is fast becoming synonymous with extortion efforts by lots of big corporations: ea, ubisoft, etc...and even within small independent studios that should know better. most of these companies make the whole game, then painstakingly remove content and all traces of evidence that it had existed already(usually unsuccessfully), in order to resell them as dlcs.

back on topic: it would be nice, and with the recently announced system of vehicle environment interactivity, i think it would be possible to implement such a thing.

Unless the halftrack isn't fully open, you should be able to shoot out with your rifle and lunge grenades. Halftracks could make extremely useful cover when parked in choke points and such. Although it could be very penetrable by MG's and snipers, it could make much use against infantry and assault troops, maybe even tanks if you can carry a AT gun in there >.>

Maybe the animation for getting out of the half track could be hopping over the sides, and not the back door?

He means free content packs. Tripwire release them all the time.

i asked for some details about the transports, but all i got confirmed is that players will be able to GET shot out of the vehicles.......so no more piling up in a german halftrack rushing into the village on Smolensk and being "safe" from enemy small arms/grenades inside your vehicle.

 

[Extension7]

I want to lunge a grenade in the back of the half track :3

Oh no!! that word is forbidden here :-x "updates" would be more appropiated

Stormer ought to take notes from you. I'm now switching "dlc" for "updates" in my in-head dictionary.

 

[Taisenki]

This would be an awesome feature of the game =) So long as there isn't too many half tracks out there...or the vehicle control is too responsive so its easy to find some sort of useful exploit with it.

(Don't really want charging in with a halftrack full of soldiers tactics)

 

[Jörg Biermann]

Wow how many people who make Suggestions have acutally played Red orchestra Ostfront??

Please Play Ostfront then come back and make suggestions. This is like the 5th time I've seen people make suggestions when they are already in Ostfront so its kinda obvious they will have it in Heroes of Stalingrad.

Trying to view the Scene of Soldiers shooting out of a halftruck driving over rough terrain makes me wanna wince....

You'll get thrown around in the back like there is no tommorow, apart from the fact that you'd be incapable of aiming...
