Statlocking Vehicles

As we all know, vehicles are one of the more important aspects in a match, a tank can hold a particular area of the map or a plane can continually deny pushes or defenders. Now I have a problem when a bad player tries to play inside one of the more important roles in the map and immediately dies. Not only causes me to not be able to use the vehicles at a certain key point of the match, it makes our team lose tickets. I have an example.

This is an example of the match were most of our tankers instantly die, they even hogged the tanks and basically letting the infantry have no support and let the enemy tanks kill our pushes. It’s frustrating to see my only a few players in my team exerting effort only to lose because my team was stupid. So here’s my proposal, Stat locking vehicles, it’s simple, if you’re not a good player, you won’t have the ability to use of the one important roles. If you perform bad, no hogging nor sabotaging your team by essentially hiding in one spot of the map.

Yes, I know players need to learn, but there’s shooting range for that. If you wish to sabotage your team by hogging vehicles or by camping in one side at the map killing nothing? I’d happily suggest you leave.

Make it like Aircraft in Ground RB in WT. You need to earn a certain amount of score to play one.

Or simply add more respawns before you can use a vehicle

I like this idea. It would really cut down on the problem the OP posted, and cut down on suicide bombing spam. +1 from me

Interesting, but it deserves it’s own post, go and make it.

In contrast though, I do enjoy slaughtering waves of M5s with my tiger.

Yeaaah
 You forgot the very important point that about 95% of the entire playerbase can be considered “bad” (or at least worse than bots) :laughing:

And you want to reserve one of the most powerful tool in the game (tanks) to those already powerful? We would ever ONLY see the top tier tanks and nothing else anymore.

I get why you proposed such idea, bad players are frustrating, but this idea just wouldn’t work (And I’m always against restrictions favouring sweaty try hards)

great to see i have suggested this a while ago.

I have a counter suggestion that might satisfy both parties. Ranked mode.

Instead of having some annoying and pointless ranked events, they could create a ranked mode, made especially for try hards. As such when you’d play there, basically everyone driving a tank would have at least a basic knowledge of how to use it.

Meanwhile the regular mode would remain for those wanting to have fun and “relax” without sweating buckets.

basically this.

I have seen some players mindlessly spamming shit tanks all the time regardless of what the enemy have like why spam stuarts when the enemy have Tigers and Panthers in Normandy.

Seriously I have been warning my teammates sometimes to not spam shitty tanks or kamikaze planes as attackers since not a good trade in terms of tickets where I have to compensate them myself by doing the objective and killing more enemies.

For the thrill of it! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Granted, mine is the event Rhino, and it’s shells have somehow better pen. It’s hilarious to explode a tiger or panther when circling it and shooting it’s butt and flanks! If those cats grey zone
 I just stick to infantry though. Not crazy enough to face those head on

Haha you’re the smart one then. I love parking my tiger on a hill in normandy and sniping from 400m away with impunity.

Yeah in that case, unless there’s hills covering my sneaky approach, I just go on foot. I never do beaches maps thought, hate those, whatever the side I play :thinking:

skill / elo / whatever based matchmaking.
Even if it was separate matchmake id gladly wait few extra minutes to get actual human players on my team.

good

I disagree. I want to see tanks and vehicles in appropriate numbers for balance first then historical value. I don’t think there were 10-15 tigers and Panthers on normandy, nor a dozen jumbos as there are per match now.

yes thats the number for them but panthers were the main tank for axis in normandy
