From what I've read you hit a button and it lands you, its not getting within a certain distance of the ground.

No idea

Maybe Hamma could enlighten us?

Thats how it was when I played, its not really restrictive.. you are not stuck at a certain height to land.. you could push it pretty much anywhere you were

wich is sweet cause then you can pull some crazy ass moves and then let the auto pilot take over

Of course not, its a tank, it will either drive though the wall, knocking a hole in it, or blow a hole.

I didnt think there were any urban areas where you could knock down cevilian buildings ..and im pretty sure you cant ram a tank through a base

I guess you were just speaking hypotheticly

well of course most base walls wont be afected by ramming, though a few good shells should show them, but driving though such a hole has risks as your attack might make the building less then structurly sound.

i don't think you can put a hole in a wall and go through it.

Hamma · 2003-01-23, 08:13 AM

no.. you can't

althoug it would be cool to be able to make a hole in the wall, and the the enginers should be able to fix it????

Did you mean the Vanguard or the Magrider, which has a non turret gun in the front and a turret on the top, when you posted? Cause the only gun in the front of the tank is the Magrider all the other empire specific tanks just have a turret with the main gun/s on it.
