Tank Riders...
« on: December 04, 2009, 03:49:48 AM »
Hi I saw in the Armor video Soviet soldiers riding the tanks.  Will the guys riding the tanks still take damage if German soldiers are shooting at them with small arms fire?  Please dont tell me this is going to be another kangaroo clusterfxck...except these "kangaroo" units have tank cannons too...

if the tank explode i hope they totally die, and take easy dmg from everything, flame, shots, APC rounds, etc.

Not only this...I read the Munis guide...the universal upgrades are not expensive at all...200 munis can be recieved even faster than BARs and vet2 grens perhaps...and thats just considering 1v1 and dont forget the fact that when they use those abilities, they dont consume ammo...imagine 2v2+ with this sort of upgrades...2-4 USSR players would just be OP.

wow have any of you guys noticed that it's always the people with 50 and under posts that make these sorts of comments :) I have noticed that and think its strange. Maybe its because they like to jump to conclusions and also pick the WORST possible spot to make that comment. Dude just go ask a dev in a personal letter and they answer  :o yeah its great try that I have done it at least six or seven times you don't have to post it here for no reason at all
P.S. wow I didn't notice that YIKES! well it is a command tree thing so we won't see lots of it

Well, this happened during one of the alpha versions on the back of an IS2... regardez:



That doesn't look like Small Arms fire though, does it...  ;D
I'm not sure, i'll have to test it more first (been hella busy lately, no time for testing)

Early skin too, I think. They may be darker now, but I ain't played in a while so I can't be entirely sure.

The tank rider option is only used for quick transport of troops around the battlefield, right?

Stelky can be upgraded to have Ppshs, DP-28s and another special something (I won't say what)

Flag Bearers was what I meant ;)
