A way to make tanks less dumb

The more I play Enlisted, the more I hate playing as a tank due to its many unrealistic strategical limitations. Here are some suggestions that could improve the survivability of tank crews.

  1. When leaving with the whole crew, the order shouldn’t reset after the one giving it gets killed. Its impossible to get out of a tank when rocket launchers still have that ridiculous ROF as they currently have. Too many times I tried to leave the tank but I couldn’t because of the crew switching after receiving each shot.

  2. Everyone from the crew should be able to use a top hatch while being in their own seat. Maybe when there is no commander in place. It may take them longer to get there but they should be able to use it after a single press of a button. When using it, they obviously shouldn’t be able to perform their duties as they were.
    And once there leaving the tank should be much faster as you are halfway out of it already…

  3. Switching to personal weapons should allow for full range of motion in cupola. Got shot in the back way too many times because of this unrealistic limitation. Also I dont understand why so many of tanks dont allow the use of personal weapons, like whats the problem? A machine gun placed next to you?

  4. When it comes to open tanks, it should make the crew be able to get out wayyyyy faster than it is. I currently dont see any difference in comparison with other tanks. Getting out of tanks like Marder is a matter of a single jump. There also should be an order for them to drop everything they are doing and switch to personal weapons (just as it is with trucks) so that they could defend themselves instead of getting shot one by one up close while doing nothing.

  5. There also could be a way for the crew to leave the tank more safely but I already spoke about that in one of my previous posts: Add and ability to leave a vehicle from one chosen side of it

If you have any more of ideas write below :slight_smile:

Honest very reasonable.

Though for point 2, that is quite a lot of work for the summer intern whos in charge of this game now.

But if I could add to the wishlist, I would really like entry animations, would be so much more immersive.

True, Every tank could even use same single animations so it would benefit everyone. I really hope they will start thinking clearly and go for motion capture
