WE NEed ENGINEER TO BE ABLE To REPAIR TANKS
- Thread starter Ghost459
- Start date
That's not what engineers do. Generally, combat engineers just blow stuff up. They are not technicians.

I'm no engineer but I'm sure repairing a broken track on a tank takes a little more than just hitting it with a wrench for a few seconds.
Plus, the tank will probably end up getting destroyed by the time you even get near it.

How about we don't bring in this sort of ridiculous mechanic and say we did?

Yeah, its a video game. But its a video game that markets itself on realism and historical accuracy.

The crew need need the ability to leave and exit tanks (similar like it was in RO:Ost - but with some improvements) and than they could get the ability to repair there own tank.

Disagreed. The possibility of exiting a tank seems reasonable, but please no tank repairing on the battlefield, in my opinion this is the least thing the tank system needs.

I say NO.
In the time frame of a game, even if you shorten it, do you realize how long that could take? It just wouldn't work with this game.

I don't know how long it takes to repair the track on a T-34 or PzIV but after doing it dozens of times on a M1A1 I can promise you that it takes much longer than a game round.

repairing track takes forever! IRL you would recover the tank to a safe location from the front lines and perform the repair. Some tanks were converted to recovery vehicles in the wehrmacht and almost all tanks on both sides had recovery cables on the vehicles.

The only thing i would not mind is repairing tracks, but it should be very time consuming.

Nope!
Fixing tracks is a hell of a job =P and no way you do it in combat xD what you do there is bail and come back and retrive the tank if you won the battle

Catalavos, you were a tanker as well?? To add to this, you would NEVER do this under fire. Its a big enough pain in the a$$ doing it in a motor pool! If authenticity is what we are looking for then i would venture to guess that many disabled vehicles were likely abandoned where they lay rather than spend time or resources to repair.

Yep, from Aug. 1990-Jan. 1994. Served at Ft. Carson (3/68 AR) and Vilseck, GE (1/37 AR). Mostly as driver but did a Grafenwohr/ Hohenfels rotation as a loader. Also drove a HEMMT for a while but that is another story.
