Spawning on tanks and tank desant

In ww2 it is not uncommon to see tanks with infantryman sat on them:

•The Russians and Japanese are 2 nations which used infantry as dismounts on tanks

•This could also encourage tank players to push further so they can get xp for infantry spawn (not to mention the infantry support)

• This wouldn’t be overpowered as tanks attract fire so it would include a bit of risk.

I don’t see how that would be attractive to tank players. Why would I want to become an even juicier target?

It would only be advantageous for stacks that communicate via microphones, because they could actually take full potential of such a heavily armored spawn point.
It would, yet again, just increase the already huge disparity between solo player and stacks.

How would it be a juicer target? Enemy infantry cant get close due to the dismounts and allied tanks get xp for allies spawning on them.

The biggest threat to tanks is aircraft. None of the factors you mentioned have any effect on them, they would just get a lot more points for blowing up a recently spawned squad along with you.

Having infantry dismounts on tanks doesn’t increase the likelihood of an aircraft destroying the tank. APCS are also vulnerable to aircraft and spawn camping it doesn’t mean they should be removed.

That’s not what I have said.

I don’t see how having infantry spawn on tanks would effect the preexisting problem of planes destroying tanks

Well, I do see how. I just don’t want to be unwillingly used as rally point.

With option to just toggle off/on this ability, I wouldn’t mind it.

But it would not change anything about this:

That seems fair having a bunch of infantry get in the way when I’m driving would be annoying. A toggle button sounds like a good idea :+1:

In that case it could be argued that most features help stacks of well organised players. I don’t think there is anyway to stop divisions from taking advantage of features.

Cool idea, spawn cooldowns needs to be balanced (longer than APC spawns) and limit radius where enemy troops are too close to the tank → spawn canceled.

That’s mostly true, but it’s still issue that needs to be mentioned.

As this specific feature would be significantly in favor of stacks.

Again, how? You can’t just say that, every teamplay feature in this game “favors stacks” what are you on about? It’s just another spawn point and encourages tanks to get closer to get some more points

The problem is that the value increases disproportionately when used in a stack compared to classic rally points or any other feature. To the point where it could be potentially completely broken.

t’s natural that everything is more effective when used in combination with teamwork.
The problem is that the effectiveness and potential in this case is far greater.
What do I care about dudes spawning on me if I’m playing solo?
More or less nothing, I will primarily play to have the most fun I can on my own. I wont ever be playing accordingly to needs of others players. And thus I won’t ever use this feature to its fullest potential.
Value of this feature would be for majority of solo players basically zero. (Although someone will bizarrely argue that team play is important and people shouldn’t play according to what they enjoy most. Which is complete bullshit)

And it’s naive to think solo players would selflessly be more aggressive because of this addition.
Why would they be? They won’t be able to use their tank as spawn point reliably.
If they abandoned it and subsequently died with the crew. Anyway, that tank will explode on its own soon after, as another player will want to play the tank.

Whereas for a stack, this particular feature has absolutely incredible potential. It would just be a better APC for your buddies while you Are having fun in the tank.

Cool, I’ll know not to read a one of your posts again, excellent teamplay :kissing_heart:

any and every idea or critique you’ve ever had of this game comes from YOU and what YOU WANT

It’s hardly selfless because they help the team and they get xp for spawning on them. It’s a mutual benefit.

If you want to tell me you’re specifying other players’ needs over your own enjoyment from the game, you’re a hypocrite.

And it’s absolutely hilarious that this is your only argument. You obviously just want to set yourself up on some sort of moral pseudo high ground, which of course is not sincere at all. It just sounds good.

Your only argument against this proposed feature is “I won’t use it”
F’in SWEET dude, now move out of the way and go camp in whatever Wehraboo tank is your fav

With tank you can farm points on your own very effectively without it.
Nobody would care.

And in the matter of exps, the most effective way how to get them is letting enemy to kill you as fast as possible. With you killing some of his bots in meantime.
And definitely not using vehicles.
