Make factions TOW like Insurgent ones (Limited angle, A-D to move)

Post by Jorgee! »

My suggestion comes from the difference in the "normal" tow vs the insurgents/militia/taliban ones.... it is very difficult because it takes literally TOO MUCH to make a 180 degrees move.
When you see someone moving the INS "tow" (SPG), you can see how much it takes to turn, even when you feel you can just take it with the hands and set in the other direction......

So my suggestion is:

A) Make the BLUFOR tow with limited angle attack and A-D keys to move or:

B) Make the INS deployable spg freely to move with mouse only.


Thanks a lot

I think the more advanced factions should have more advanced weapons.

I agree, but have you looked at the insurgent SPG? Not even a child would take so long to turn the SPG.

The turning speed will be increased in the next patch.

As for turning and elevation angles, they are all based on rl values.

But is the SPG turning controlled by a manivel? (Don't know if this is the word)

Because if not, then I don't find any reasons why an adult man wouldnt have the strength to turn it fast, and more with the adrenaline of the a humvee coming in your back.

Maybe you should model, animate and code your own version and present it to the DEV team ?

Why is there allways a troll that doesn't contribute to the discussion? Is there any cookie for him? Maybe that's what he wants......

Seems to be that it weigths 60kg with the tripod, and seeing at the tripod it shouldn't be able to turn with A-D.

But to simulate the "Pick Up and Place looking other side" it is still slow the turning, but it is ok since it will be speed up in next patch.

Thanks a lot.

Why is there always a troll who makes endless suggestions and has an enormous amount of unqualified criticism for a FREE MOD ?
How many suggestions have you made since you joined the game ?
You have about 20 locked "suggestion" threads so perhaps some introspection on the term "troll" might be warranted.

Does it even occur to you that others have noticed the things you mention ?
Maybe even more than notice, they actually used the items in REAL LIFE and try to place them within the game as best they can given the engine limitations ?

This isn't a discussion, it is yet another whine and cry about the game thread so if my response to that is being a "troll" then I know I am in good company.

You've had your answer here;

Now enough of the childish back and forth, anything more and there will be infractions handed out.
