Talk about how to include the tanks gameplay

[Codex]

The best tank sim I played was T34 v Tiger. You might still be able to get a copy on eBay.

Having CloD incorporate a tank sim at that level would be welcome.

It would be cool to play out a Blitzkrieg assault with Ju87s and Tanks working together.

I take csThor points but those same 'play styles' are being played out in IL-2 / CloD in the online world now. This can be controlled some what if they make the tanks with same level of realism as the planes.

For example: The Tiger I, you couldn't just put the foot to the floor and go ( ala WoT - which is as unrealistic as you can get ), the Tiger had to be warmed up and care had to be taken when selecting gears, the gearbox and drive train in the Tigers were very vulnerable and under strength-ed for the tank.

I'm currently reading Otto Carius' book "Tigers in the mud", a very interesting account of Tiger Tanks in combat and the tactics used. Would highly recommend it.

I for one would love to see a driver-able Tiger I in CloD, if they can match the level of realism as the planes. The offline campaigns would be enjoyable at the very least.

S!

As already said, this will be great for online wars. As a SEOW player, I think it's a much welcomed feature if we are to ever have something like SEOW in CloD. In case all flight slots are taken, there still would be the ground slots (all driveable vehicles) available for the extra pilots. Depending on ground vehicle CloD's AI vehicle skill, humans taking control of tanks etc. could tip the outcome in land battles, which are very important factor in SEOWs. I don't think that many pilots would be anxious to take vehicles that are transiting far from the front, but the ones in the front might be quite tempting distraction.

After say 10-15 mins of control it will turn back to fully operational.

Bit OT: This is also available (implemented with only airplanes though) on old Il-2 server "War-birds-FH". Relevant mod available here: http://www.war-birds.com/
