Tank restrictions and one more thing

I think it would be nice to make it so that tank drivers can't be the only crewmen in a tank. Like having one crewman as the driver and one as the
gunner. So none of that seat switching, because thats a waste of vehicles. Don't get mad and tell me its been suggested, but tell me if its a good idea. How in Kashan 64, making both jet spawning areas useful so 2 in each one of those spawning areas. And keep two A 10s. It might seem as too much, but in reality... wars that require air to air support im quite sure they don't just send out two jets by themselves. And for Kashan 32 maybe 4 apaches two on both Helipads. In the end 4 of each might seem like too much but 2 is too little. I have to say this again, but since you guys gave the U.S. the APache why not give MEC the Ka-50. I don't mind if it was suggested but I don't think the wording or the reason is the same.

Any additional aircraft than what is in place now would be too much. Please don't try to offer up the "but in real life", because in real life there would be 2,000 or more soldiers on the field than the 64 or so you see now. Troop numbers have been reduced by game design, so has vehicle/aircraft numbers. That is also why most units respawn, to simulate reinforcements.

And there is nothing that will prevent players from taking off in vehicles alone. Yes, it's annoying. But there is little that can be done to stop it. Having a seperate kit for Driver and Gunner would be a pain to code, and putting the vehicle on lock without both in place would not be feasible. Crews are supposed to team up for vehicles, and when they do it's awesome. When they don't, they die. Maybe in time the noobs will learn not to solo tanks and apc's.

Wait until the AA has been fixed, which is when pilots will again fear AAV's. You will see maps played a lot differently then. Wait until the release of the next good patch, and think about what you are suggesting now. If you have any real sense, you'll see that your suggestion is not logical.

I hate to see the mob of jerks on Kashan screwing around the hangar. I hope we'll have as few jets as it can get in 0.7. I hope I won't meet you on any server.


Otech0, you just revealed your cards in your previous post. You're just whining around like a spoiled kid demanding more toys. Nobody around here is so wayward like you with your plane ideas, not to mention that those "READ, it's cool" type of ideas haven't got barely any -- if none -- positive receptions. Why don't you draw to a conclusion and find another mod where you can play Topgun among other fifteen-year-old pubs? This game's just deadweight with its 5+ gigs on your hard drive anyway.

The idea is ok but in Real life the US Army trains every the basics of drivinmg ang gunning a tank. So why make 2 kits if they all know how to do both?

Actually, there's a pretty big thread around here somewhere about the tank crewman thing. As far as I can remember it cooled down after one of the brighter guys pointed out that the only good way to end the 1 man crew thing was by making the driver position more attractive and suggested that the rest of the community (us, to more precise) come up with something to do just that. Hence it dieing out...
As far the more aircraft on Kashan suggestion goes, I agree with Mad Tommy.

Yup, the tanker issue is already out there - please search though the suggestions forum before posting.

As for Kashan, I should think that Satan will be ice-skating to work before that happens. 16km^2 simply isn't enough space to pop more aircraft into.

Locking due to resuggestion (on both counts).
