Make dead tanks sink into the ground after some time

It is not funny to push a dead tank for over 3 minutes, because some idiots decided to use them as a blockade. I almost lost points for killing the Jagdpanther and get trapped into the greyzone.

Dead tanks may stay for a while as a decoration (part of the map), but then - should sink into the ground and disappear.

Not fully, depending on terrain it may take years for them to sink. If the ground is frozen it may not start till ground is thawed from weather or heat from explosion.

I completely disagree they make great things for barricading or great defenses.

unless the devs decide to fix fortifications and make it so they don’t break like wet paper I like the dead tanks the way they are.

I like that they stay.

But I would like either engineers to be able to remove them OR, the warthunder tow/bulldoze system to be activated to move them out of the way

But the trees and other objects from the game can sink into the ground :cowboy_hat_face:

Make them destroyable by engineer hammer.

Just let tnts or smth like that complete destroy its leftovers.
Making them just “sink” is very lame.

They aren’t made of 40-70 tons of reinforced steel though either!

Dead tank will stay as a decoration (part of the map) for a 2- 4 minutes and then… will sink into the ground in 3- 4 sec.
It will be so fast that no one will notice.

I never quite noticed, hmm.
Now I want trees to stay.

That’s way too long time for being any helpful to your problem. It’s very likely the fight would move to another objective at such point.
Just let players to get rid off them. Devs could make it happen with hammers, tnts, or complete new items. Who knows.
But making them just sink after few minutes is very meh.

Imagine taking cover behind and than puff, it sinks into the ground along with your hopes and dreams.

That’s exactly my point too!!!

I use them as cover, as blockades, even just to cut off the line of sight from a particularly nasty angle (such as if someone sets up a HMG nest).

That giant chunk of cover just suddenly disappearing would absolutely screw everyone making use of it!

Disabled vihecles should stay all match for realism and emersion sake.
If I could, dead soldiers bodies should stay as well for same reason.

What you could have tho, it the chance to blow wrecks so that you could smash the remains with your tank as you drives over it

Oh yeah. Otherwise we cant enjoy immersion with Berlin Soviets armed with WW1 Assault Rifle and prototype mg or Moscow Germans armed with timetravel Mkb or Normandy Yankees armed with M2 Carbines and outphased BARs and Jumbos. Or tanks struggeling to climb over trenches and tree logs.

Think of ze immersion and realism.

You can deliberately drive your tank at chokepoints, die, and create an impassable barrier.

This is pure cheese.

There really should be a way to get rid of destroyed tanks.

I can honestly say I don’t care I ░░░░ you zerg rush players and fast-paced players I will keep doing broken strategies because the devs will not give us all the fortification files in the game so we can actually hold up a solid defense and it’s still made of paper until they fix that I’ll keep doing these broken strategies to win my games unless the devs decide give us actual defenses that work

Still less toxic than people who are pre-digging holes in which future spawn of tanks is.
I instantly left match every time this happened. And there’s no protection against it as well.

They already gave defenders unlimited manpower, what else do you want ? :snowman_with_snow:

Defenses which are not made of paper And spawns which are not so predictable that you can spawn trap with HE
