Add an insurgent tank on Al Basrah

[Bazul14]

Exactly as said, a T-62 or T-55 would be a great asset there, and like the Challanger Mk. II, it spawns at the beggining of the match, and once lost, well, bye bye insurgent armor. It would be interesting to use against the Challanger, but make its balistics realistic, and keep it that it would be almost imposible for its rounds to penetrate the Challanger's armor.

Also, by adding the tank, it would give the insurgents a fair chance against the Brits. To be fair, the Big Red, SHOULD be removed. Or even better, make the insurgent tank spawn once like 5 or 6 matches, so it would not decisively change the gameplay.

I'm failing to see the reason why we SHOULD add a tank to Al Basrah other than "it's cool" and it's a "great asset". The map is already balanced, IMO. You kill the tank and the APCs with the bomb cars/Big Red/ambushes. The Brits then have to rely on infantry which the insurgents will win in the long run.

Or, the Brits keep the armor alive and rape.

why would insurgents have a tank? ? ?

[Bazul14]

Well, i get your point, but sometimes the Challanger is imposible to kill if manned by a competent crew. For example, unless the Ch gets close to the urban area, its very hard to kill. And about the T-55 or T-62, make it so it would get killed from a single frontal shot using the sabot. And make it so the ins tank would have go get a side, hull shot on the Ch to actually hurt it.

[Bazul14]

Well, maybe the insurgents/some republican guard unit mannaged to hide the tank from the coalition and now, they decided to use it.

Basrah used to have an Ins tank. I don't recall it being of much use and it didn't really fit with the insugency theme either.

It was in earlier versions, it was removed for good reasons.
Yeah, it didn't fit the insurgency very well, but it sure was great at downing A10s.

Well, in good hands it would be great at killing Brit armor, while still having to do a lot of maneuvring to avoid the Ch2, and/or to get a good side shot at him(like a 90 degree projectile incidence angle).

I fail to see how this is unrealistic.

[charliegrs]

there was a thread suggesting this exact same thing about a month ago

[Bazul14]

Well, that is because it is realistic. But i just wanted to add some action, as most of the time, when the Ch is properly manned, insurgents are forced to sit and watch.

Locked for resuggestion, the fact we already done that and sillyness.

That is all.
