this is my 20 pence!
no to tank riders this is alot like AIX (shudders) if u see pic
the norm is for a APC to ride with a tank to help flush out areas so tank can ride in, when in transit the apc rides behind the tank to stop it gettin squashed.

IDF has APC tanks did u know that, furtheer the reason for this is unless they are driving at home country or safe safe zones no one is ever gunan ride on tank its just dangerous and people dont like to get killed think about it u cant even climb a ladder at work due to health an safety no way are u gunna ride in combat zones on tank!
And PR maps ARE COMBAT ZONES!
But Militia ridfe along on tanks makes for cool extra feature i like this alot

Last people I seen using a "tank taxi" ride was the Talibans escaping Afghanistan... lol. I think they had 50 guys on a t72 at some point. lol

Like alot of people have said this is an extremley cool idea, but also extremley inpractical, the images you see of people riding on tanks are most likeley just basically hitch hikers in a sense, just hopping on for a quick lift.

It depends on what tank ... the BMP has room but the abrams only has room for one other person besides the gunner driver and tank comander or w.e

For one thing you would have infantry to help take out the rpgs, rockets, ect

Another advantage is that you wouldnt have the huge convoy just two tanks

It was already suggested at least once

It would solve the ever-so many abandoned vehicles being used by the 1337 snipers and lone wolfs.

Saves your team tickets as well.. since your not using a seperate vehicle to transport the troops.

cant the infantry sit on top of the tank as in ww2??? would certainly look cool =)

I could see this for quick short spurts, but if the gun fires all the guys would die from the concussion(I have talked to a tanker about this when visiting an open day at an armory) this is why when the gun goes off the comander ducks quickly into the tank

Put a hint saying: "Ride tanks at your own risk. If the tank has to fire or gets attacked, you are very likely to be killed."

read the thread. passaged OUTSIDE of the vehicle

no, you would die from the pressure if the gunner fires. go watch some youtube videos.

This remind anyone of Halo? NPC humans could ride on tanks but not you -_-

I said this in another thread, but I'd like to reiterate it here:

I think it would only be a good idea for the militia. It makes less sense for conventional armies, but the militia already uses unconventional equipment and tactics, such as technicals. Tank desant wouldn't be such a drastic departure from that.

Conventional armies are more likely to just use APCs and whatnot.

I like this Idea. Unfortunately I think there is a max seating slot on all vehicles so you can't have over a certain amount of people in one vehicle. It would be cool to see a truck packed with a bunch of people.

The engine only allows 8 people per vehicles, so you could have driver+ gunner, and a full squad on the tank.

I also support the idea of this being a militia only feature, since conventional forces have conventional tactics.

Ya but realistically the tank would not be able to shift its turret or fire with those people sitting on the tank something the BF2 engine can't simulate.

The DU Armor would Fry all of their Sperm, not a good thing, which makes it unrealistic

However, If I could ride on the side of one of those bad boys, where there are only 2 squads, me in INF and 4 dudes in the Tanks, that would make it much more efficient.

The top reason is we don't want tanks used as transportation no matter what the faction is. That that's about it. We understand the reasons and the cool reasons. But for now that's the call.

Can we lock this coz its not going to happen?
