Tanks riding on a road faster

[Kashash]

Should tanks in RO2 be able to drive faster on a road, slower on terrain? Or perhaps you could drive faster when driving on a normal terrain but you're putting yourself at risk of getting bogged down.

Discuss. YES/NO?

Would be nice to have surface differences, imagine tanks getting stuck in swamps or muddy roads

Yes for the different speeds on different terrains, no for getting bogged down. ROHOS is just too less a tanksim for that.

Well if you think what devs said that their tank system will have level of detail way beyond any tank sim out there so it could be possible

Different traction for different surfaces = yes.

Bogged down. No. That's just gonna suck, regardless of realism.

Increased speed on roads, yes. Being bogged down maybe but soviets would have the upper hand because of T-34's wider tracts compared to P4.

 

[Kashash]

If that was implemented then players would use roads more often. It would be cool to see columns of tanks roaring along the roads and make ambushes for them rather then tanks moving wherever they want and drive 50km/h from the slope on a rough terrain

there should indeed be some advantages for being on a road, considering ww2 tank combat did heavily focus around roads when they were around.

If it was in real life, it should! A tank has a bit less of speed on a field than on a concrete/sand road...

Simple version would be:
Onroad - you can go up to 100%
Offroad - speedometer goes back to 75% if over 75%
This would simulate the tank crew caring for their tanks and keeping the suspension functional and running. I wouldn't increase the speed on roads. I'd decrease the speed on offroad terrain (since stalingrad has a lot of roads and road like places etc.

Not to be nit picky and I don't know the specs of the tanks involved, but width is just one variable in the equation of soil compaction or floatation with regards to treads, tracks or tires. Vehicle weight and track length (and to some degree track suspension) come into play. Its all about the psi or kg/cm^2
