Tank Careers

[Fenrir96]

I am not sure if this has been already raised, but I wondered if it would be possible to have a career as one of the crew members in a tank. I enjoyed operating the tanks in missions and in the quick mission maker. Just thought this could be a could idea to explore in a future update.

First of all, welcome!

 

I agree that Tank Crew could use some more content. The obvious problem with careers though, is that the nature of tank warfare makes it less suited to the type of missions the career generator was built for. Air missions are quite easy to generate: you start at an airfield, do something, then fly back to the airfield. With tanks, you might start in a tiny village, then end up camping in the middle of nowhere for the next three days. That means that you need a much higher fidelity of the front line. With aircraft, you can get away with a front line that only has two or three separate AT positions or MG nests, and which updates only every 2 weeks, because the next mission will be 100km away. With tanks however, the front line must closely follow you, and there must be a large amount of prepared positions in the campaign files in order to simulate the two belligerents advancing and withdrawing.

 

There's a suggestions forum and a Tank Crew forum where this thread might have been better suited, but probably one of the Moderators will move it there anyhow.

Not sure if this helps or answers your question.
