Tanks that require two drivers = awesome!

[Goldeh]

Tanks that need two drivers before they can operate properly

One driver for turning only the left side of the tank

One driver for turning only the right side of the tank

In order for the drivers to turn the tank, they both have to press the same Key on their keyboard, for example: Tod wants to turn left so he presses the A key, Rick also presses the A key which then turns the tank left, if both drivers press opposite keys (Tod presses A while rick presses D) then the tank will go straight.

Oh! and they both control if the tank goes forward or not, so if Tod presses W and Rick presses W then the tanks goes forward. If Tod presses W but Rick presses S then the Tank will come to a complete stop as the two differing commands cancel each other out.

It would require the utmost communication from both parties!! The teamwork would have to be so great, it'll be like two people in a potato sack race coming to terms with their differences then accepting them, then becoming first place winners of said race, then becoming bffs forever and doing that thing in the hot tub that no one will ever talk about ever again...

....

It's an awesome idea! Say Yay for dual drivers!

[haticK]

that would be nice for an april fools joke

[NCLynx]

...no thank you.

It would be an AWESOME april fools joke though lol.

[Sledgecrushr]

Thats fucking hilarious. 8 )

Remember kids, say no to crack!

[noodz]

LOL at that idea! What is this I dont even......

What if one guy is lagging, haha!

I guess the argument in the other thread has degenerated? (haven't looked yet, I just saw this and made the assumption)

[noxious]

I was inclined initially to applaud this idea as brilliant and revolutionary, but after further consideration, I wonder if you're not thinking on a grand enough scale. Why stop at two drivers?

I propose an alternative system with 360 drivers, where each driver can only move the tank in a fixed direction, and each direction is separated by one degree.

The turret too, will require 360 crew members, each one responsible for a one-degree firing angle.

Given SOE's stated goal of 2,000 players per continent, this idea will naturally require an increased player cap (from 2,000 to 2,160) so that each team can field its own fully manned tank. While this may stretch the resources of the development team (as the game will require an 8% increase in optimization for player count) the manifest (even exponential) increase in the fun factor of the game will be well worth the cost.

I'm all for something as big as a landkreuzer on the battlefield.



(For those that don't know, this was an actual proposed vehicle during WWII)

haw haw haw

[Baneblade]

Where have I seen this before...

[Sifer2]

Yeah you have to hand it to the Nazi's they had cool ideas for weapons even if impractical lol.

Anyway the game could use a big heavy tank that requires a 3 or 4 man crew at some point.

@Sifer2

Nah, a better idea is Baneblade's aircruisers.

[greenberetdelta]

i think the idea a big tank that required several people to operate fully would be nice, but one driver the rest gunners so....i want baneblades

[Infektion]

Reminds me of the aliens armoured Personel Carrier!
