WE NEED A TANK UPDATE

508 USA1783  2.8 years ago

I think the next update should be focused towards tanks. We need tracks, armor and a cockpit that AGMs can lock on to. I think a new engine would be cool too. A rotator that can fully rotate 360° degrees too. The armor can be a setting in the fuselage piece. The tracks should have the modern us and ww2 track system , English modern and ww2, Russian ww2 and modern, German WW2 and modern. I think they should also add a bomb bay piece and maybe an ai turrets system. Let's blow this up to see if we can get it. Add what you think should be added in the comments!

    @CRATE52PART2 but I don't think everything should be done through fine tuner. I think they're should be specific tank parts. The anti-tank ground missiles you have to mod an anti-air missile. I think adding a cockpit that can be locked on with ground missiles would be cool.

    Things u can already do

    360° degree rotator = Can be done [Through fine tuner]
    Armor = Also can be done [Through fine tuner]
    ATGM's = Can be done
    A.I turret system = Can be done through Funky trees [Through fine tuner]

    Great update idea's

    • Treads/Tracks [As default part](with different varieties)

    @USA1783 I hope the devs put these ideas in. I hate having to use mods to make a good tank!

    @Shelbysine well they added car stuff I don't see why they shouldn't add tank stuff.

    I mean, for ATGM's, you could change their function to lock onto Air targets, the just use them on only ground targets with the cockpit part.

    @Tookan No, there need to be more track types as there are many different styles of tracks and track suspensions, like slack track, torsion suspension, vertical volute suspension, skeleton tracks, rubber padded tracks, and many others that are not available in the tracks Mod.

    Armor and 360 rotators already exist, and if tracks come to the game there will only be one option, like the tracks mod. Locking onto cockpits with air to ground I really would like too

    @Shelbysine you say that, yet the devs made a literal car update with car parts and everything. In a plane game. Tbh, a tank update doesn’t seem too far off from a car update, but even still the devs are probably not working on SP currently, and are most likely focusing on SR2. And hey, if one of the devs happens to be reading this, and they are in fact working on SP, then thanks for continuing to make this game amazing!

    @VolcanicAsh Yeah I was gonna mention the 360 thing and bomb bays are pretty easy to make. I was just saying that those three things seemed the most likely out of what he said

    Oh yeah, right, 360° rotators are already a thing, you just have to use Overload/XML to type in a code for the input/control of the rotator, example:
    sum(0.25*Yaw)
    Which can be used for 360° rotation on the Yaw controls

    AGMs for cockpits is a yes, tracks, it's a mod and having different versions is ridiculous so no, armour is also a no because you could just increase the amount of health on fuselages, and having different engines is pointless since you could just adjust it to your needs

    I think that tracks would be too much considering this is a "plane" game, not saying that there should only be planes but like I totally agree with you they should really do a ground vehicle update. However, the only things I think that might happen would be armor, 360 rotator, and maybe a bomb bay.
