Spouting "balance > realism" as an excuse for poor and/or unrealistic design doesn't pass muster in a game that traditionally defined itself by it's uncompromising realism, and even today proudly displays the quotes pertaining to this realism from yesteryear.

And Basrah has never been as fun a map for either side since those days. I miss donning the green shirt and being a public nuisance.


On a side note, I know it's a suggestion, but has anyone thought about giving tanks smokescreen generators like they have in real life? I'm sure we'd find a use for them :3

Yes, somebody thought about it before. Reason for not being in iirc - performance problems.

Smoke screen generators are do to the engine and how it burns its diesel etc. The abrams does not have the ability for a smoke screen generator do to its jet engine however diesel engine tanks would.

Not due to engine, but due to fuel used. Fill it with diesel and ride with style :mrgreen:
