Am I the only one that thinks that the tanking in Ro:Ostfront was pretty good,
a lot of hatin' for the tanks in Ro. Of course there was a few problems, most of them were funny, like flipping tanks. It was their first game, I'm sure this time it will be 2X Greater than Ro:Ost.

Thanks for the Tanks.
Has anybody actually confirmed that there will be tanks ?

A system like Men of War would be great.

Wait....what?

Tripwire's been making a movie all this time? Or is this the RO2 movie tie-in? Shouldn't they hire that German guy for that?

I'm confused.

Infantry combat is the main game to me. Ostfront was like 2 separate games in 1 so I don't see why they can't do Heroes with minor tankage (some combined arms sometimes, 1 tank per team), then do a tank focussed stand alone expansion pack later on. It will be better to keep them separate imo as they can empty servers, or give players a bad first impression to have to play with tanks (or run around a huge map getting lost or bored, or get insta killed in transport). They should definitely do something for the large tank fanbase here but I don't necessarily think it needs to a be focus in the main game

Agreed. I'd rather they released two seperate games for tanks and infantry, or at least be able to filter the tank maps from the server list.

Tanks split the community the same way Natural Selection's Combat mode did. No surprise the player base dropped.

This game is going to be bigger that ROOST was, meaning more players, more servers, more options. Because of that if (hopefully) they have vehicles I doubt there will be a community split. Most likely there will be plenty of servers for infantry only or combined arms, and other servers for the diehard treadheads :D

Why should that be necessary? Even if the game was infantry only, you still would have people with different preferences. Some will prefer Zhitomir, some people will prefer Basovka. When a map comes up that you don't like, you just leave the server and go to a different one. Just don't enter servers playing tank maps, or change server when a tank map comes up. Simple.

It usually doesn't take long for servers to start running infantry only or tank only maps either.

Plus, you're forgetting about the group who enjoy combined arms just as much as infantry or tanks. Separating infantry and tanks to such an extent would alienate that group.

This doesn't really make any sense at all, from a marketing or development standpoint. For one, an expansion would split the community far more than having tank maps in. Also, why shouldn't they focus on making good tank combat? Considering how good infantry combat is in RO, good to the point that only a little tweaking is required, what else are they going to do?

I really hope we can get tanks at least for multiplayer non coop because there are no other fps like games with such great ww2 tank combat as first red orchestra had.

I can confirm NPC recon IS-2 are in. Think bad *** tank-planes. :IS2:

What else would go in that blank space on the commander's map?
