Other Types of Vehicles

[Terripan]

So we all pretty much know that a new vehicle is coming in Alpha 17. If not, as a friendly hint, you might want to get out of the rock you've been living under and go here:

My question is, in future updates will there be other types of vehicles? Like, could you fix up a sedan, or an SUV, or a muscle car like the Mustang(obviously not the Mustang because of copyright or some BS like that)? If so, how far will they take it? Could you make a plane, a boat, or even a tank? Maybe a half-tread with a sweet .50 cal on the back? What about things to combat these in PvP? Underwater mines? Anti-vehicle mines(Well, YamaKami pointed out that regular mines would do, and I figure unlit pipe bombs and sticks of dynamite would blow them to hell)? AA guns? If these do come, I don't think it will be in Alpha 17 or even Alpha 18, and they would be pretty OP. I mean, minibikes would just get obliterated bigger vehicles, and RPGs would become a lot more valuable. Small-arms like the guns that we all so desire(SMG, AK-47, .44, 9-mil, shotguns, etc.) would do almost nothing against tanks, planes would be impossible to hit, and boats would also have a resistance to small-arms. It would give rise to a new breed of weapons, like anti-aircraft guns, tank grenades, and underwater mines to to combat these.

Just, what do you all think? I don't expect you all to know, that would be impossible.

They are not turning this into a vehicular combat game. So don't expect to see 50 cals, rpgs, etc. They have also said repeatedly they are not going to add any more guns unless it does something that isn't currently done in game.

I would be highly surprised to see tanks, planes, or boats. Mainly because most of them are not needed or impractical for random maps. Water isn't big enough to truly justify a boat, planes are too OP for traversing the map and cant exactly be crafted, etc.

Technically, they already have an RPG, the Rocket Launcher. I just think that they should have other vehicles than just the jeep and minibike, and the rest was a question of how far they could take it. Some random gen maps justify boats, IMO, since there have been worlds I've played where giant lakes prevented me from getting anywhere with any sense of speed, even with a minibike. And a plane would be overpowered, except that you would run out of fuel quickly and finding an adequate place to land would be difficult, as you need to land somewhere you can get back off the ground, so landing in a forest or on a mountain would be wasteful. I also don't see a plane having any offensive capabilities, probably one similar to the plane that drops the supply crates. I just think that with the jeep, it would get old seeing the same two vehicles, and thus they could stand to add some more types each with benefits and downfalls, just how far would they take it? I mean, there aren't only two types of guns, or two types of armor, so why should there onyl be 2 types of vehicles?

But you are mostly right. Who the hell would have the space for an airstrip, and what if your plane hit a zombie while landing? What if you crashed it? A tank is too cumbersome, and would be too slow to keep up with anything, and would be too obvious if you pulled up to another player's base. Meaning if they even had access to just pipe bombs, they got a shot a stopping you. Unless you need special explosives to take it down, which is also ridiculous. I can maybe see them adding a muscle car in order to get somewhere a lot faster, but maybe only carry two passengers and blow through fuel. I can also see a half-track, but only for the increased offensive capability. Though if you ask me, there should be a gun that should only be able to be attached to certain vehicles, like a half track or pickup truck.

I guess they've given up on getting roads to work right.

@Terripan - Joel did a video before that one showing a "hog" motorcycle and a working car for A17 also.

Interesting to see where this could go.

Who wouldnt want to use a tank in a zombie apocalpse tho? It would be badass!

I don't want to see all these things in this game. It sounds like you're more interested in a combat simulator or mechanized warfare type of game. Not many of these suggestions really seem to fit the theme of this game. Going too military will be going too far. There's no need to over complicate things. There are many and much more creative ideas out there to take place of the idea you have. I want this company to be creative rather than stereotypical. That's just my view on things.

Agree with you aside from the boat. Game needs a boat IMO.

Nothing largee just a small row boat or even a log raft. One we can put a small outboard on based of fthe small engines in game now. RWG maps can have massive bodies of water in them. They have to mae it not OP though so they need a water threat. Otherwise it's just cheese mode for horde nights.

when is this patch actually coming out? tired of people saying all this ♥♥♥♥ but it never comes.

[Frostbringer]

I want an ice-cutter added for zombie puree.

for those of you that call 3-4 inches of snow "significant", picture a snow-blower on the scale of a dump-truck.

When it is done. Never sooner, sometimes a little later. It will come though, that much you can count on. What you do not want to do is hold your breath until it does. Likely you will never see it if attempted ;P

Sounds fun! Too OP for this game, but I do like the line of thinking here XD
