Tank Corpses
« on: May 10, 2011, 04:49:58 AM »
Is there some way to implement the removal of tank corpses. It is really annoying when you are trying to cross a bridge and the bloody thing is in the way and is uncrushable unless you bring in heavy tanks. My suggestions are the following:

1) let all tanks crush tank corpses. (a very basic solution I know)
OR
2) Give all engineers the ability to "salvage" (you don't have to give the munitions bonus just the damage and removing effect)
OIY! Get your filthy hands off the Maus!

Don't worry I know that... its just that I want to be able to remove them at least... sort of how engineers cut barbed wire, you know?

Tank carcasses should continue to block, since that adds a more tactical element to the battle. If it's blocking a chokepoint *cough* BRIDGEMAP *cough* then you can order your units to force attack it by clicking attack move and then the carcass.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

It's a vanilla feature, so there's no point in discussing it  ::)

This is a non-issue, all wrecks can be crushed by heavier tanks or destroyed by AT/Arty/Tank gun fire... even KT carcasses.

Tank corpses are invaluable cover later on in games as the majority of heavy cover generally gets destroyed over the early-mid duration of the match.

Topic locked since it's not going to happen.
