What do you Really wanna see in this game?

[Your Pal Skippy]

I love this game but I feel like it's a bit sparse on content. (It's early access, I get it.), so I wanted to make a chat talking about we would like to see in the game.

I'd like to see some new primary weapons like autocanons and maybe a flamethrower? IDK, functional machine guns would be sick.

Also some different vehicle types like Armored Cars or APCs/Cavalry vehicles (think of the Bradley.), these would have different parameters and lighter armor limits.

[KillOrDie]

Maybe a multiple turret and cannon option would be nice as well as option to make armor round or able to form more shapes and angles.

I want to see Contracts and Trials
Nations used to put out contracts where the companies had to fit specific parameters.
for example:
Contract for a light tank
requirements:
Weight: 20t
Speed: 35kmh
armament: 45mm

and you would get a grade from S,A,B,C,D,F depending on how close you get to the desired specs.
Afterward, your tank would move on to trials and would have to outshine a premade tank on an obstacle course.
and if it passes trials then you could press it into service (move on to a scenario stage)
where you have to fight enemy tanks!

[DustDevil]

I would love to see the addon tools like spare tracks, winch lines etc actually be useable.

I would also like to see a spraypaint feature to allow us to make our own camo paints.

As for the multi-player idea if it's co-op then it's fine to allow other players designs but for PvP I don't see how it will be viable without either using set tank designs or very heavy restrictions which will basically end up with players making very similar tanks anyways.

[Bacongod239]

Personally I hope he adds realistic track mechanics, since at the moment the "tanks" are actually just multi wheeled cars with some visuals to make them look like tracked vehicles.

[calembredaine]

honestly i would have enough fun with the scenario structure being fleshed out.
i can totally see the coherence in some campaign featuring contracts but dats not my cup of tea.

I thought of that too, (game going in the 'wrong' direction, but building this game out to it's true potential is quite a tall order for a single developer I'd say.

have a liberal enough take on modding and let the community develop a good base itself healthily.
you then have a more self-sustaining playerbase which in turns give more time for the lone dev to shape vanilla without the hurdles from team-based development or a pressure to keep people interested. at best the dev can even borrow some community made bug fixes after asking gently.

[UselessOkuu]

Maybe a little oof the scope of the game, but rockets and their launchers (think Sherman Calliope, RBT5, or Pershing with T99 rocket launchers) could be a cool addition imo.

[calembredaine]

rockets do not sound too far fetched when stuff like flamethrowers and minesweepers are also considered

[bru98 / bru98IT]

in the immediate future an unlimited defense mode were you and your allies fights wawes of enemyes whit increasing difficulty/quantity, whit the coop support would be nice!
in the late future all that is in the roadmap plus something more like autocannons, infantry, spaced armour, addon armour and more shells like HE, HEAT, APCR and APDS (for late stages of war)
and the possibility to use weels instead of tracks or maybe halftrack vehicles

[WEAPONMASTER ZAK]

Multiple Segmented Tanks, like command and conquer mammoth or halo scorpion tank. Or reallt just any really off the wall stuff lol

[The Horse of Lies and Deceit]

I thing auto cannons would be really cool

[m61a1]

The ability to slap quad 20mm to 30mm on a design for no good reason lol

WRONG.

There is no "vehicle builder" competitive MP that isn't complete garbage. It always devolves in to gun-bricks or mechanic-exploiting cheese builds, which promptly kills the MP population because that crap is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring.

If the game gets dedicated servers, then that problem could be easily solved just by having the owners of said server have a set of rules. If not, then that definitely could be a problem.

They could probably also allow server owners to only allow specific tanks. People seem to love making real life tanks more than custom tanks from what I see.

Or the developer can allow server owners to prohibit things like 170 degree sloped armor with 200mm armor.

Maybe the developer can make it to where server owners can force players to have armor somewhere on their tank that is at least 30mm so they can have a weakspot.

Maybe the developer can allow server owners to prohibit other things like super overpowered weaponry, or force players to have a taller turret ring that has very weak armor.

I mean, there's a lot of things the developer could do to fix problems like that in multiplayer. There could be many strict rules that server owners can enable to prohibit things like that. Orrrrr just dedicated servers with rules. I mean, that definitely would be the best solution. Warn, kick, or ban anybody that brings in that 200mm 170 degree sloped armor.

Ah, maybe a kicking system could be in place! Sure, some people will abuse it... But honestly, when will somebody not abuse a system like that? Just gotta go to the people that aren't... "special" like that.

Though I'm not sure if there will be competitive multiplayer... Unless it's one of those things where you don't do matchmaking but rather join a server that IS competitive, I don't see how that will happen.

For any credible Multi player feature , rules and limits or more period specific limits.
like WW1 very basic Armor types and construction methods poor engine and manically fragile limited drive-trains a track types .
This must also stand for any solo campaign mods .

As one progress's through these periods new Tech and development is opened up ,
in the current form you just simple add enough armor and a good enough gun and all is fine. but that gets boring pretty quickly driving around in your Mobil bunker.

As the game stands it is still excellent and I am sure many more features will be added to flesh out the game given time and the fact at this point this is still a one person operation.

I would like to see a few different hull types same goes for Turrets .
from riveted construction Cast and welded types as a basic starting point.

So far I only see this as WW1 through to the end of WW2 tank game without getting into the complexity of post war tanks from the Cold war into 21st Century Tanks .

Because WW2 is still the High point of mass Tank Battles between major world powers.
Both Multiple main Gun armament and machine guns still need to be added.
more for WW1 and inter war and very early WW2.

For now see what the last part of 2021 brings to this gem of a game.

[Wipwoop]

I would like to see cast armor and multiple turrets. You should also be able to take different tanks into battle.

[Metal Izanagi]

Just off the top of my head:

- Functional anti-infantry/anti-air weapons

- Infantry in scenarios

- More propulsion options such as halftrack setups and only wheels.

- Open-air turrets to facilitate the creation of vehicles like the USA's WW2-era Hellcat.

- Open-air hulls to facilitate the creation of WW2-era troop transports.

- Mounted infantry as part of the loadout of troop transports. (I guess the way to differentiate a transport from a tank would be to have "embarkment" modules where troops get in and out, such as swing-open rear doors for WW2 transports and deployed ramps for modern transports/IFVs.)

- Turret-fired guided missiles like what the USA's Vietnam-era Sheridan light tank used.

- Better track physics so that the tanks don't just feel like cars with lots of wheels.
