Infantry + tanks
« on: November 02, 2011, 11:06:50 PM »
I believe that the soviet troops did not have enough communication (community, mutual assistance) with armoured vehicles (except ambulances), of course is the thought , but they are standard:

I suggest to add the ability to soviet tanks for transportation of infantry guards and engineers), but it's not the reward, it's standard.

Thanks for the reply.::)

Well Tank riders already can carry guards. And having infantry ride around breaks the idea that SU don't need trucks like Studebaker :P. Its a weakness. Like lack of MG. ANd that would be a bit OP anyways. M3 carries troops but has a simple MG and is lightly armored. A T-34 or and IS-2 has heavy armor and a cannon :P

It would be a "pearl" of the soviet union.
A huge number of options, immediately appear. :o
But this is a suggestion only. ;)

It would be fun and I would personally love all COH tanks to carry people. But unfortunetly since Dev dont change vCOH drastically giving SU tank riders would make them a bit OP

We had actually considered a similar idea that would which make Guards cost more manpower in the long run, however any shock guard would be able to ride any T-34/KV-1

This idea was eradicated because it was ultimately deemed OP no matter how you slice it. It also interfered with certain T-34 art.

...and it's a big piece of work I guess.

BTW did you guys correct Tank Guards being invulnerable to small arms when in the T-34?

Yes.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Yes, any Guard squad can now ride the call-in T34s and capture points on them. However, what we were previously considering was having ALL T34s (buildable ones as well) be ridable once the unlock is selected. This didn't pan out.

that to bad, i thought a large amount of the time soviet troops rode tanks whenever possible. but i understand the making of this could be difficult.

Not to mention the fact that fitting 6 soldiers on the back of a t-34 will be kinda hard to animate.

Conscripts dont get the luxury of riding tanks :P. Only Comminsars :P.

Also I think it does weird things to balance :P. SU isn't supposed to have transports. They gotta walk :D
