Ferdinand problems

[Koenigstiger]

Hello freaks,

 

First of all, a big thank you to the developers for presenting the porsche tank destroyer. It worked wonderfully - but where there is a lot of light there is always some shade:

 

- the real speed cannot be regulated in "free driving" - that is, without waypoints. The tank gets too fast and has to be braked constantly. This is pretty unrealistic - especially for a 65-ton colossus that was actually under-powered. It would be desirable that the command for the three speeds not only be carried out when the automatic function is activated with the waypoints, but also when "driving freely" off-road and on the road. Thus, the speed could be specified for all models. The directional control can then be carried out by a button function.

For me, driving is not a pleasure - that's a shame, especially since you could drive the tank with the hatch open again with the Ferdinand - just like the Marder IFV and the Leopard tanks used to do ......

 

- if the driver can already look out, this should also be possible with the radio operator and a loader. The tank had at least 6 man crew

 

- the tank is probably too quiet. The chain rattle on the chassis is missing, as can be seen and heard on the RC model (IMAI and Asiatam 1/16 model). It was described that when the Porsche Tigers were relocated before the Kursk tank battle, the Air Force flew in order to drown out the noise of the Ferdinande. So these things must have been pretty loud

 

It would be wonderful if at least the first point would be turned off soon.

 

Good luck

I really like your last point. I also have some views on this particular aspect, but want to finish the few things I already started before getting into it deeper. At this point, I don't know how much the Devs consider feedback from the user base, but what has completely won me over with IC and the IL2 GBS in general is the apparent dedication and attention to detail given to this product. Hope that continues.
