vehicle warfare mode RIP

[[R-DEV]Spearhead]

Well I guess the vehicle warfare mode probably isn't perfect (I'd even say the CnC mode is far from it) but this will not stop us from analyzing it and checking where we should make alterations. The same has happened to about any mode so far and it gave us such gems as AAS Random and Insurgency. Try it out. Give it some time and post your feedback every now and then.

"probably"?

I love PR. I love .9 Silent Eagle, BEST MAP EVER.

But the verdict is in R-Devs. Vehicle Warfare = Fail. Nobody wants to play it. Its almost as bad the escort mode from way back when.

And I wish I could try it out to post feedback, but its so bad no one wants to play it. No server runs it. And the fix is so simple. Just spawn the tanks faster and its gonna be awesome.

Um I dont think it fails and some people do play it. Something will change but only after looking at all aspects of it.

Look at Desert Rats....that was a good tank battle map.

When you have the whole team shooting eachother to pass time in a tank VS tank match ... i can pretty much say it fails.


As for the spawn time, i did wait, and got TKed jumping up to the tank, as did the next 7 guys that tryed their luck behind me, until eventually one got in and run off with it.

As for the maps, "BATTLE OF 73 EASTINGS!!!! ftw!" from the mod Desert Combat (DC) of Battlefield 1942
Quick search on youtube reveals that another mod called Desert Conflit (DCON) made a replica too :

That map is made of pure win, that would something that would fit Vehicle mode like a glove.

I just don't understand the mode to start with..

this is Project Reality.. what part of reality comes into 20 tanks blowing each other away in 10mins with no air support ?

last time that happened was the battle of El Alamain i think.... but they didn't have to wait at spawn for 20mins afterwards..

I only played 3 rounds of it, all of them on Silent eagle and I like it the way it is.

You just have to consider it as a counter strike round. When you're dead, you can make a short break. Those games usually last 25-30 mn so it's not that long.

Read the post above you. It happened in 1991. Besides, if you can't think of any scenario where no air support is available, then you have no imagination my friend.

Some Examples. Maybe there's too much AA and both sides can't risk losing any planes (not even raptors can get through), so they have to send armor to take 'em out.

Maybe a couple of carriers went down off-shore and all the troops inland are stuck with no air support - and the other air force was so crippled in the attack they dont' want to lose any more men.

Maybe one side who has no airplanes blitzkriegs to take the initiative and takes by surprise the other side who's air assets haven't arrived yet. Who knows? It could be anything.

Also, think about this. An airplane is waaay more expensive than a tank. If WWIII happens, there's gonna be a hell of a lot more tanks than airplanes. Airplanes are more or less rare now (when compared to WWII). So if both sides air forces wipe each other out, all that's gonna be left is tanks.
