Controlling tanks mod?

[CharlesTheBRO]

Roguetech allows you to do this(I think), but are there any standalone mods that allow you to control tanks as part of your lance? I've looked on nexus but havent been lucky.

It's not really a standalone thing. It's a combination of a number of mods

You haven't been lucky cause there is no such mod on nexus. RT and BTA are using framework - CustomBundle. It is available on github. You even can install it as mod but you wouldn't like result. Yes, it will allow you to contoll vehicles but also it changes alot in on battlefield and you still need to alter item collections by yourself to add vehicles to shops.

And why on earth would you want to anyway? Vehicles are one-trick ponies with glass jaws.

Cause be able is always better than not to be able, maybe? Cause to have a choice is better than not to have?

Exactly, it would be cool to have the choice.

Would love a mod or even an update to the base game that adds an upgrade option to the Argo. Something like a deployment bay that would spawn some fodder at the start of each map. Like lv1 could be a srm carrier and a bulldog (idk). and lv5 being like 2 demos and 2 lrm carriers. Just a thought.

Not if you take away the glass part by bringing them back to TT specs, then remove the damage multiplication system, some of those tanks can slap you hard and nasty.

See Roguetech for just how nasty a TT tank can be.

BTA not only allows you to control vehicles, but lets you unlock the ability to control a whole lance of them in addition to your regular mechs. While vehicles are still vulnerable to physical/melee attacks, they are much more durable and versatile than in the regular game.

There are a LOT of regular missions that get easier with four guys with Sensor Lock piloting Manticores as backup for your Mechs. (Manticores have a PPC and a LRM10. They are great ranged support, and at 60 tons, can take a few hits too.)
