I don’t know, true 3m is fair if the enemy is placing the TNT, but most players just throw expopack or use rocket launcher… Imo we should ignore infantry for now and just give the rewards if you destroy a tank or a plane who damaged the friendly tank and the tank is still alive, Thing need start from a point after all
Yes, I often try to use tanks as a spearhead for attacks, but unfortunately my teammates often don’t care about my sacrifice and don’t use the cover I provide them. So if I can take the point independently, that would be great!
For stuff like SdKfz 234 it would be good
And for bikes.
I like it, at least it should be implemented as a test.
However the tank should be fully on the cap.
I mean… no since doing that negates the main benefit of the NPC, namely it being a mobile rally point. Not to mention those APCs are even easier targets than tanks if they wanna rush the point?
For some reason this sounds much worse to me than it probably is… tanks have “rightfully” become easy to destroy if without allied infantry support. A capturing tank could change the dynamics of the battle for the better, but ultimately I fear that this could make it easier for “steam roll” full teams to dominate even faster than ever.
It could be a good change - but it could also bring consequences that we aren’t seeing yet.
Call it superstition, or maybe my decades of shooter games experience, but something about this gives me a bad feeling. Can’t really explain.
Furthermore BR 1 needs to be -+0 asap. Not only are new players not equipped in general, br 1 AT options are not equipped to remove the most common BR 2 tanks that get spammed every match.
personally, i would give this feature to all vehicles and;
the only exception being APCs though.
for obvious reasons.
but riders could improve from such feature, and perhaps future riders II ( if they ending up being a thing in the first place )
You are the sort of player that I would like to play with more frequently! One who seems to understand the basic role of Armor once battle has moved into a confined urban space.
You keep them off our asses
We keep them off yours.
Watches the minimap and sees blue dots all around your tank on the minimap.
2 seconds later blows up from Det Pack
“Enlisted”
Sure!
Lets allow planes cap too. Just flying above the cap.
It’s unbelievable.
This game is so broken that players’ lack of skills makes them want to capture with tanks.
No one ever defends me, my tank usually lasts less than 30 seconds in these attacks, but that’s usually enough time to get a point, so I’ve done my job well.
Explosive packages? They’ve blown me up with TNT many times while 5-6 people were with me.
This will definitely be better for the enemy team than tanks in the gray zone, just switch to your AT trooper and destroy that tank with one hit.
Oh I have watched a lone guy run out of a building 2 meters infront of a “Full” team staging area (friendly spawn point)…and simply climb on top of a vehilce plane his TNT and then run blow…everyone just watching, AI and players included
It was like watching lieutenant Speirs running through Foy…
Thank you for your post.
Im open to the idea. Id also argue vehicles more generally.
I like the idea of reduced speed or points in capturing the objective. Maybe if tankers leave the tank they get the same XP as infantry.
On the other hand like someone mentioned the KV1 I am wary as well because there are certain maps and certain tanks where this would be just waayyy OP and basically trolling. Like a tank can just sit on the cap and lob HE at anyone and it cant be killed.
Remember that most AT weapons can rarely penetrate a tank from the front (which makes sense) but yeah if youve got a tank or indeed 2 tanks on the objective, both spamming HE and MG plus a bunch of enemy infantry it would basically be impossible to capture that point.
Please dont say “but muh planes” because not everyone has aircraft and Ive been in lots of games where pilots seem to just fly around doing idk what but clearly not bombing tanks (they may not even have bombs)
I would further encourage players to recall the problem of uptiers. Only BR 1 is restricted to BR 1.
So you could be at BR II with your AT rifle or really basic grenade launcher like the GrB I think its called for Germany and youre trying to take a point thats completely covered by some BR IV or V Soviet tank.
Likewise BR III facing BR V Japan or BR II Japan facing an M4A3 head on.
Those Bulge maps for instance are horrid as it is where tanks can just spam HE and now theyd have the ability to cap as well.
Its really hard to balance the two because I know myself Ive been in tanks or vehicles and its rather silly Im just sitting on point but cant actually contribute in any way towards capturing it.
So Id say I think we need to wait until DF gets off their backside and makes each BR face its own BR (mind blown) so that if there is a tank on point capturing we can say okay well the enemy are guaranteed to have equivalent weapons to take out said tank.
One more thing please note that an uptier doesnt just mean a high rank tank you cant take out, it also means more powerful infantry.
So like youre an American with your Springfield and youre trying to capture a point guarded by a BR V Japanese tank, but also surrounded by a bunch of guys all armed with Type Hei assault rifles. That would be impossible and highly unfair.
This would be great and it would honestly open up a more viable possibility to see more armoured cars added to every faction, allowing them to have a niche for assaults onto the point instead of basically doing nothing lol
I said here a few months ago.
People only wants to play with tanks and planes. And soon, they will want cap with tanks.
Why you guys dont play warthunder? You can cap with tanks.
