I remember reading about later in the Battle of Stalingrad when the Germans ran out of fuel, they started using tanks as stationary guns, do you think it would be good idea to include this in the game?
Stationary tanks.

Come on...what comment was that supposed to be?
And by the way, his idea is not even closely one of the worst suggestions seen here. And while not being exactly the same as the suggestion, Pantherturms worked fine in Kriegstadt. Was it Kriegstadt?

Maybe not in retail game maps, but I believe modders can do it. There were great maps like Kriegstadt with stationary and fortified tanks in RO.

Sounds like a good option for mappers. To make it more authentic, the turret rotation speed should be dialed down on tanks that used electric or hydrolic turret rotation.
I think the custom maps that had these stationary tanks had to sort of "lock" the tank in artificially. You could go into the driver's spot and start up the engine, which wouldn't be an option if you're out of gas.
To make things even more interesting, the mapper could specify how much fuel the tank has (in miles it can drive), so you could have huge custom maps where fuel rationing actually matters. This system could be used to give a normal gas load, or no gas to make a tank stationary, or something in between.
If the devs really want to go crazy, the gas usage could even be carried over in multiplayer campaign mode.

This is a forum about a video game.
Gas usage would be a good idea in and of itself.

I actually like the idea but I am not sure how appropriate it would be in Stalingrad. This(picture below) was at Omaha beach but years were spent to prepare the Atlantikwall. So it might be rather something for a possible DH2 then HoS.

The tanks don't have to be dug on the ground, they could be just normal tanks that can't move.

Not so special, it is literally a Panzer IV turret mounted on a stationary ring.
Shouldn't it be a tank enforced with rubble and sandbags, that can't move but is surrounded by cover, would make it much harder to destroy though.

We did this in RO with a version of the KV2. That used a new object with disabled engine etc. Definitely possible if a modern wants to do it.

With the new ROHOS tank system, where the tank spawns with the player already inside of it, I'm not sure how this would work? You'd have to make a totally different tank that the player would be able to enter/exit. We'll have to see how this works, especially with transports and whatnot.

Perhaps you and a bot crew could spawn inside the engineless tank at the start of the round,but if that tank is destroyed and the position is captured by the enemy,you would respawn in a normal tank.
Like this one:IS2:
You could add a few of them to a map and make them secondary objectives,though you would have to keep the total number of tanks in mind when doing so ie: you start off with 10 tanks inc. the engineless ones, but as they are destroyed they get replaced with normal tanks.

IMO Berezina was the best ever ca. map for RO, and the static tank at the bridge was a brilliant idea, making it even harder for Axis to win (as if it wasn't hard enough lol)
So could you please remake this map for RO2,and perhaps you could scatter a few static IS2's around just for me lol.
