Add binoculars to certain roles, like Tank Commanders and/or Radio Operators.
Like, when you unbutton the hatch as a commander, you ought to be able to use toggle Binoculars while your head is sticking out.
Binoculars would also fit well with the Radio Operator role so players can view enemy movement from afar and zero in their arty fire, rather than just guessing.
Snipers could also use them, but this might be overkill for their role and not totally necessary.
You could fit Binoculars into the Upgrade “Tech Tree”.
If I could only pick one though, I would definitely go for Tank Commanders being able to use them.
Для снайперов бинокль очень актуален.Во1х - у него кратность выше чем оптика на ружье,во 2х- угол обзора тоже значительно выше. И лежа в сугробе или траве можно добавить функцию взгляда через бинокль над снегом или травой
Because they were actually equipped? Because it’s a good equipment? Because it allows a commander to mark some targets? Because it makes use of equipment slots?
perhaps tank crew, snipers and assaulters could use binocles.
as the first, were equipped with,
the same works the same, and the last, well, the last doesn’t really need it, but technically only NCO & CO had smgs, so i suppose that they are kinda the officers of the squad considering that we don’t get many assaulters outside smg squads it selves. which would look abit off, but non theless should be a thing.
Beyond that, tank commander is literally bugged out when riding topside if you try to use any equipment.
I’ve tried using my puma commander to sweep around the vehicle with an SMG, since… You know… That’s why they gave SMGs to tankers, and unlike the Stuart, the puma doesn’t have a mounted MG, just the coaxial gun. Also, since they won’t give us smoke launchers for some reason, I wanted to be able to chuck smoke grenades out the top of the tank.
Nope, you can’t really do that. There’s no way I’ve found to use equipment as a commander. You can certainly switch weapons though, and see them glitch through the roof of the tank, you just can’t use them.
I wouldn’t allow Binoculars for every class/role per say. Like I wouldn’t give it to Assaulters.
I think it would be fitting for Radio Operators to have them and obviously Tank Commanders. I also think it would work well with the Upgrade Tree, for if you add a Radio Operator to an Assault Squad, you will get a little more versatility out of the Radio Op, rather than just a cool-down for arty.
If we’re talking tank vs tank fighting, you can’t rely on infantry to spot for you. Like, if both tanks are playing really wide on the map, away form infantry and trying to spot each other. This is literally the whole point of why commanders always had binoculars with them.
Heck, a lot of times I find that my teammates hardly ever mark for me anyways. Even if I ask for it in chat.
When I first started playing, I actually assumed because you could unbutton the hatch and look around as Commander that you could also use binoculars. I figured it was like the Red Orchestra series, which has very similar tank mechanics, especially RO2.
Let me be clear, I’m absolutely not saying you should be able to move the gun around while scouting with the binoculars.
they should give it the radioman as the tank commander now can use his view hole like a binoculars and even fire with is so it should be given to the radioman
