Excuse me yo, Ima let u finish, but POWERSLIDES IN TANKS:

Watch to the left of the player's gun

Power sliding Lightning

Didn't want to make a new thread for this^^ Aight, you can keep arguing about fuel (to which I say "no fuel").

fuel---noooooo

No, the vehicles in the future run on Unicornium, with never-ending power fueled by hopes and dreams.

But if we want to go with conventional fuel, sure. And infantry have to stop fighting to relieve themselves every several hours or their bladders explode.

prone will be the default position when you're getting shot at.

You gotta draw the line somewhere and seeing as how the average fuel supply of a vehicle is a lot longer than the expected lifetime of said vehicle in this game, fuel is irrelevant.

Hate to burst your bubble but all that you listed is in the game, except for prone. Fuel would add a tactical sense in the game and a fuel truck could be essential for winning battles. The driver would be a hero.

Also arma 2 does have fuel, in the dayz mod.

Worst idea ever.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not...I really hope for the sake of humanity that it is though..

Roidster · 2012-07-18, 02:27 AM

hell ya i think fuel (nanites) should be added,adds in the whole immersion,and real world experiences

Anybody that has played Planetside knows that ammo is essentially the fuel of the game. We don't need a finite restriction beyond that.

Ruffdog · 2012-07-18, 03:16 AM

No fuel.

Except for the flying Outfit Motherships we were promised.

Okay maybe not promised.

Shade Millith · 2012-07-18, 05:45 AM

Sure! Just to keep it realistic!

Of course, a vehicle would spawn with a full tank, soooooo... that would give it like 6-8+ hours of solid driving without needing to fuel it...

And, the average life expectancy of a tank would be... well, not that long. Nowhere near that long infact... Has anyone actually had a tank live that long on the front lines?

If the vehicles cost resources then I doubt there would be fuel. Beside most vehicles will be abandon or destroyed long before they run out of fuel.

Allthough it would be a neat mechanic to have vehicles run off of fuel. Mabey even some customization would be better fuel effency or extra fuel capacity, After all fuel is a big strategic concern in combat.

Especially Air combat. Cargo planes avoid fighters just by tacking the senic rout around the runway out of the fuel range of the inteceptors. If an enemy inteceptor was going after say a C130 the pilot will recieve enough warning from an AWACS to fly away from it. The inteceptor pilot will just helplessly wathc it out of range on the radar recieve the low fuel warning, angrly grunts to himself as he flys back to base.

Um, not a fan. I am a fan of the NTU system, I wish that was expanded for bases.

Game would be delayed because they have to add gas stations then no one would be able to afford gas anyway
