new units --Tank crew & light armor crew
« on: August 07, 2011, 10:26:38 PM »
this is my first time idea so please excuse my English
in real life , when a tank or any vehicle is about to be destroyed the crew will abandon it for there safety , then they come back to fight again using another tank or vehicle.
and when a tank or any vehicle receive some kind of promotion it mean that the crew is the one has achieved a level of experience .

so my idea is:
when a tank or any vehicle is about to be destroyed or running out of control the crew get a chance to get out of it, and they will have the same veterancy level , so , we can make them inter another tank or vehicle to make it promoted .
and that is really what promotion is about, because the crew is the affective element not the empty tank
but of course that dose not mean that when a tank reach a veterancy  level it will always be available in the battle because when a tank or a vehicle get suddenly destroyed by a shot or a mine the crew will die inside it
so
i think that we can eject the crew at 10% of the tank life or it will be automatically ejected when it is out of control

1- the crew will be consist of 5 members (captin , driver , gunner , loader , scout...)
2- there fight ability will be limited ( because they are not supposed to be on the ground ) but they have personal weapons for a little self defense
3- camouflage ability and hold fire (to remain in cover) and bick up weapons from ground
4- and they can be moved in the battle ground to secure points and finally can enter tanks or light armor to promote it
----------------
i just want to say that it is a grate mod and i cant wait to see it
in coh tov the Tiger tank story we all saw how the crew abandoned the Tiger when the British shot it
also this idea can be used in ef
great work
and i hob you read it

nice idea but kinda useless for the Wehrmacht as they don't earn vet and all units spawn with vet, you'll just end up with a lot of useless combat units taking up you pop cap

Nope, that ain't going to happen. CoH isn't meant to be played in that way like, let's say, Codename: Panzers.
