Drivable tanks in QMB

[Yogiflight]

Wouldn't it be nice to have the possibility to use the two (and later more) drivable tanks in the QMB? Just like with the aircrafts, start somewhere on the maps, maybe even at the given airfields, on which you can ground start with the aircrafts, drive around on sightseeing tour, like we sometimes do with the aircrafts as well, or use the ground targets, like we do it with the aircrafts, attack an artillery position, AA position, the enemy tanks or intercept the train on its way to the next town. I think this would be a really cool addition to the existing QMB and a nice preparation for the coming tank addition.

+1 very welcome addition

[Rjel]

I love that too. There is so much to explore on the maps we have now. 

[Eicio]

you have the possibility to test tanks in the mission tab.

 

You can also use them as you want by the editor.

 

But for now it may doesn't need more since the major gameplay is yet to come IMHO.

But again,  not all of us can do the mission editor. Or even choose to want to. It's just another person wishing for another feature. It wasn't a demand. Politely put too. No harm. No foul.

This.

Plus, Does anyone really know, what exactly we will get with Tank Crew? And it is quite some time until it will be released.

And in the missions in the Mission tab, you don't see very much of the map.

The developer's tool/mission editor is truly and only for the few.

 

Anything, including adding a tank feature, to the QMB would be very welcome. Would love to roam free and pop trains and arty and even take a few shots at the ships.

[Eicio]

I understand what you say, I was just trying to imply that things probably won't change until the devs release more content.

It's purely logical, when you build a house you don't begin by putting the roof.

 

Again I'm not saying that a proper qmb would be useless or undesired but just that it's an amount of work that the devs will plan later.

One would hope, though, that by the time the fourth installment of the game comes around, the QMB gets brought up to snuff. The maps and planes and graphics are top shelf, but as it is a combat flghtsim, ya gotta have some good interactive "Kaboom!" to go with it.

 

Right now the QMB is maybe kinda almost somewhat adequate.

[Eicio]

Well , I don't particularly like the qmb we have now, it's more like a test mission.

I'd prefer to be able to do a mission like you're able to do in a carreer, there is much more life, you could fly and see a lot of stuff going on here and there.

[GBNCommissar1032]

I agree 100% with you on that and while people can screech about tanks not really being necessary or wanted, well the genie is out of the bottle. The developers hopefully will start slowly rolling things out for tanks. As of now, I am slowly learning the Editor and am willing to make some tank missions 

Spoiler

via the side of the Germans

and will see how things go after a few days when I have free time after work to see how things play out. From what I have read/experienced so far, multiple player controlled tanks are a no-go and I don't know why but you will see from me in the future a few historically correct missions in and around Stalingrad (of course using the Stalingrad map).

[Danziger]

I'm pretty sure with Tank Crew coming we will see tanks in QMB. It's going to be awesome. When it comes out I'll do a German little tank career as Lieutenant Gruber.

Yeah, career in Tank Crew is that what im waiting for, in my opinion devs must implement career to Tank Crew, this mode is simply too large, if not currently the main mode when we talking about a single player, i dont worry about career mode in Tank Crew. The only question is how it will be solved, how big our units will be, with how many bots we will cooperate, and what will replace the current airport, where we will be going to the battlefield.

[danielprates]

I too am eager to see Tank Crew, as soon as it is even slightly playable, but if you ask me we haven't even got to that point yet. The content we have so far is far to slim for that. I am glad they gave us a little taste, but I played one of the static missions for some 15 minutes then abandoned it, to only revisit it when a dev diary reveals some major news. 

[Bajzon20]

It's true, sometimes the career is very boring, the missions are very often repeated and there are no random events in them, but there are some strong elements, for example an unexpected attack of enemy planes at our airport. However, career is a great game mode, for me the number one when we talking about a single player, dozens of units to choose from, and the feeling that we actually participate in real air combat. This requires many corrections, such as a random skins on planes of our pilots from squadron, but depending on the factions, the P-39 does not have, for example,  American signs. and I hope that in Tank Crew this mode will be sufficiently polished to play in it for many, many long hours.

The few.... the proud.... the mission builders. 

[hames123]

A few T-34 missions could be made, from the encirclement to the surrender. Starts with you and lots of other T-34s breaking Romainian lines under a huge artillery barrage, and then wiping out that one Panzer Division in place behind the front. Then the encirclement proper, beating off the counterattack, maybe the airfield raid(imagine 30 T-34s sweeping onto the airfield after breaking through the front line, as the klaxon blares and the 88s fire at us, before we overrun them and move about destroying Ju 52s, both parked and those taking off and landing).

[Bajzon20]

Yes, but used to be missions for T-34 or Pz. III will get bored someday. And it must be remembered that on the Eastern Front there was a whole mass of various tanks, not only T-34 and yet KW, BT-7 or tanks from Lend-Leasu, for missions for all vehicles or a career for them we have to wait for this DLC . I would very much like to command M3 Lee to defend Stalingrad, this be something another from only T-34.

[hames123]

Yeah, but we already have a T-34. A Mark III campaign from the start of the offensive to the street fighting in the city could be cool. But there must be lots of other friendly tanks and vehicles, because otherwise you will certainly die. Ground warfare is like that.

You'd defend Stalingrad in a coffin for 7 comrades?

Something we still need is the german 88mm Flak field version with the protection shield, as tank destroyer.

Whow, that'd be very nice... they even used 88mm AA cannon to attack Soviet armour, KVs...

Interesting aspect would be manning AA gun/cannon in any case...

Yep, 100%.  I’ve started a career for nearly every aircraft in the game, only playing one or two missions each.  Feels like it’s the only way to play an aircraft in a realistic combat situation.
