Tanks: Destroyed or Damaged?

[Sadist_Cain]

Will we ever get an official reply on this one...?

I know there may be plans to increase to time to live of the wrecked models but that dosn't reaaally add too much for a gameplay perspective...

Great idea !

Would bring some real teamwork into the vehicular side of PR !

Like the idea of an injured crew, i can imagine it in game

*APC with squad in back gets hit by LAT, .50 cal fire etc.*
*crew suffer 50% (?) damage*
"Bail Out Squad !"
*Squad assembles at nearst safe point*
*Medic heals*
*etc.*

I endorse this product.

Again this is something I'd like to see and not just for tanks.
From the civilian cars to the tanks, functionality damage should be far more prevalent, rather than 'shoot it 'til it goes boom' mentality currently
It would also go along way to encouraging armour cohesion - nothing pisses me off more than lone pieces of armour not supporting infantry and not sticking or moving in convoy with friendly vehicles ... something that is the norm 99% of the time ingame, not just a common problem. The one thing that makes me want to throw something at my computer screen is seeing the commander and teamwork squads frantically defending an asset or firebase while the most powerful unit in the game is parked miles away scoring occasional cheap kills with 120mm HEAT shells ...
This way if tanks are more vulnerable to being disabled rather than destroyed and respawn in 10 minutes, that forces tankers to stay close to infantry in the hope that an engineer will fix them up enough for them to limp back to the command post for repairs with infantry benefiting from truly integrated combined arms.

OR (the more likely scenario)

*apc with a driver and crewman gets hit by LAT, .50 cal fire ect*
*crew suffers 50% (?) damage*
*Bail Out!*
*both crewmen die*
*apc sits idle at a hilltop for the rest of the round*

What's stopping a squad from retrieving the APC with new crewmen from an RP? or another squad/APC destroying the wrecked apc (if it's too far gone) so we'll get reinforcements.

Should see more people valuing the armour and working together to keep it in operation in these circumstances... At least myyyy Squad will try to get the armour going again :P
