Low Fidelity Vehicles.

[OrLoK]

Hello there

 

Just a "shower thought" now TC has been around for a good while.

 

Im a big fan of TC and really like the detail of each individual Tank/AA platform but wonder if the addition of other vehicles in a "lo fi" way as with the initial IL2 tanks would open up the entire Ground based game to a greater playerbase.

 

Now, obviously the devs will have previously thought about this and for whatever salient reason have decided that, so far, its a no go (as far as we know!) but we also know things/directions can change.

 

My question is aimed more at the end user is, would *you* think a "no interior" simplified vehicle/scout car/ arti piece etc would interest you or do you think its a "step back" and you want "full detail" or nothing.

 

Do we think it would encourage MP or SP usage?

 

Would all vehicles and heavy weapons be needed/wanted or just Tanks?

 

Other games do the "simplified" system to a rather good degree (as does il2), so I think its a splendid idea (obviously and in an ideal world)

 

Lets not do the "I want the devs to concentrate on X or Y rather than add new stuffs", if you dont mind, and I know this isnt "easy" to do

 

I'd love to be able to take control over other vehicles to position them and then hop to another vehicle and let the AI take over for example.

 

In DCS im a fan of this as well and whilst not perfect does open up another dimension, although Combined Arms isnt hugely popular there. (an inherent issue or specific to CA?)

 

What are your thoughts?

i wouldnt be interested in a too lo fi tank/truck, as you spend a lot of time inside if it looks crap then no point, as for DCS CA is pants there, does not help with the ground graphics either, its still made primarily as a flight sim with CA a bit of an afterthought, suppose a bit like this but il2 tanks are better personally

No interested in that, but i would like to have those simplified vehicles to have proper dmg model

i'd love to see the update on existing low tex 240p looking ground vehicles to HD tex

it looks too much outdated 

altho recent vehicles that came with BOBP looks decent

All I want is some darker colored Panzer Skins in the "Official" File.  I pretty much only play MP, but have been enjoying come of the player developed campaigns recently.

I'd like to  drive some of the lorries and staff cars  However, if one is sight-seeing in a vehicle with a large cab -well, it makes sense to have good art for that I suppose.

 

Still... I think it'd be interesting to have an option for player controlled scouts (T-60, T-70, Half-tracks) and anti-tank guns - and I'd be willing to drop the quality of the art a bit in order to allow that.

The Tiger tank units typically had some Kubels and motorcycles that they used to scout the lay of the land before they would drive cross country with the tanks themselves. A truly in depth mission would involve scouting out the route in a light vehicle, then transferring into your Tiger to make the final advance to contact.

How about those command tanks the unit commanders used to use? I guess we can use the pzIII for that in game.

Full detail or nothing, thanks
