Hello everyone. PR is a game of my heart, but what iritate me is gunner asset in tank. For so many years, why didnt you chosed for the model from "Red Orchestra"?
Player is using a "periscope/binnoculars" in free look and the turret is moving to the center of the player's center "point of view" (and using Q/E to adjust gun for distance of target). It is simple and works perfetly. Speed of moving turret depends of the tank type.

Maybe in the next patch. I guess many players would appretiate it.

Or At least there should be some clock, where driver would be able to mark position of enemy (for example 2 oclock, 6 oclock = faster orientation, then "SW 165.....)

Just my typ...maybe silly.

We have limitations on what we can do on the game engine that is provided. Any ways modern tanks have FCS which is Fire Control System. They laze, change the elevation of the weapon, and you fire. A lot more automated than what's in RO. That being said, ballistics also plays a role here, which simply put BF2 can't model properly.

OK, balistik is no such a problem, but Orientation yes.
Like I said, I think - system of a watch/clock would be faster then compass system.

And view from the gun ("tunnel spectrum") / moving the turret after the center point of periskop/binnoculars?

I'll just move instead of locking because a Dev commented. Devs can close when they're done here

Next time, please put suggestions only in the suggestions forum, or they will be locked.

The only thing tanks need from red orchestra IMO is the ability to open the hatch and use binoculars, iirc FH2 has this ability, also forgot to mention that older Russian vehicles dont have automatic range adjusting and require manual input (like the T-72). could it work in the same way you adjust for range on grenade launchers?

Didn't the combined arms PR thingy have some funky tank changes?

would be interesting if the tank comander(driver) could mark with a laser as does the gunners of HUEY

Now that's a great idea ^. But it might interfere with normal CAS lazes and such.

It's unrealistic since tanks don't carry such equipment and has already been discussed.

so ho the comander mark to the gunner?

By using this new and crazy thing, called - communication

Though, i agree that gunner should have some identification where the driver is looking. Like pilot in attack chopper doest, when he sees where hes gunner is looking.

Using the Mk. 1 eyeball to spot and the Mk. 2 vocal cord to transmit the position

Hum all you like, because it isn't happening, and Prevtzer is correct.

lucky bugger, are yours upgraded? i think most of our vocal cords are still Mk. 1s
