It is now impossible to aim the tank from the outside view, the barrel is gone. I had started to get good at shooting down planes with the tank. Not anymore, I need to be able to see the barrel. HELP.

Yah! I want to be able to see the tank barrel. also, I want the joystick control for he tank and turret simultaneously, it was very effective and realistic

These are my comments:

Pros: Really good looking, slender, camo, and actually fits WW1 type tank (from what other players say it is, the other tank is supposedly a WW2 tank ).

Cons: SLOWER THAN OTHER TANK, you have to PAY 10,000 grand for and your parachute guy, and worst of all, YOU CANT AIM WITHOUT GOING TO SCOPE VIEW BECAUSE BARREL IS TOO SHORT


Is there a way that we can have both tanks? I will gladly purchase the other as a reserve.

Congress

I think z will add the ability to upgrade it anyway I am happy to see that the top three aircraft on each side all have the same stats now lol. It should ad more of a diversity to the aircraft players use.

Hulk, I'm your friend.....are you sure the problem isn't with the SIZE of the tank? Because it doesn't take a genius to figure out that when you go green the only way you're driving that little thing is to sit on the roof and drive with your feet (probably faster that way). I find it hard to believe you can't see what direction the barrel is pointing from up there...
You can be honest

Cannot believe you keep making drastic changes for no reason that ruin the game until the next update.

Again!

Its called adapting to the new change... back in ww1 they couldn't complain and take the tank back to the factories... I kinda like the new tank its harder to hit.

I think i would appreciate it more if the old tank is also included in the tank selection for free..

I asked zup that on several posts. Have yet to hear.

so the tank has is too small uh?

I know, I know. I've posted on the original thread when I released the update that I have to see how the tank behaves in real combat. It's problematic because many people hated the Panter (the previous tank because it is a modern tank). The ft-17 is more realistic for a WWI game, but it is also a horrible tank compared to modern ones. It was one of the first tanks ever made!

I have to think how to go about the canon. I can make it less real and enlarge it or maybe I can add some kind of visual queue like an arrow.

That's why this was the first big upgrade of the others coming. You will also have more tanks to choose from soon.

hey zuperman,

first off, the new update makes a wonderful game even better. i've had a chance to test the tank on the windows 8.1 version. i love the way it looks, very realistic and a far better choice for a ww1 themed game. the fire rate and reload speed are great. it seems like hitting targets is easier, i kinda like the short barrel. my only complaint is the speed. it's a real lemon at midfield. if i happen to get shot down close to the enemy base things are great.

i request the speed be boosted by one point. otherwise i am quite pleased with it. everyone is entitled to their own opinion and this one is mine.

He's right zup, the speed is the only issue especially uphill

I like the new tank and I will get used to aiming from it again.
But only problem I have is my tank moves very slow. Its slower than other players on plain surface and when I try to go upwards of a slope. It becomes more slower and hardly moves about 1 meter in 10 seconds.

Hopefully zuperman will add more than one tank.That would make tank battles even more fun.We could have tanks with more speed or faster reload.Even bullet tanks.I think that this tank is just first on the production line.

I don't mind the size or speed of the tank. my only problem is aiming, there is no barrel to use as a refernce. i enjoy typing BOOM after blasting a plane from the sky.

Dude, the tank aiming is much better than before. The shell really fires at the middle of the scope, similar to call of duty games and tank games unlike the old tank where u need to rely on the barrel.

What im talking about is firing while driving, not sitting still. while you drive, you can't see the barrel to aim. Dude

Oh that, they should add a new feature using the scope while driving the tank at the same time. Because we can only use the scopes when staying still.

Just a suggestion but maybe we keep the tank style but give it the panther characteristics or somewhere in between. A slight barrel extension would be awsome..even if its a purchased upgrade to the tank I'd be happy with that just so we can see to aim when not inside the tank....or instead of changing the tank itself maybe change the view point closer so we can see the little barrel to track shots.

Any thing to make aiming possible, make the tank slightly transparent all but the barrel. or extend the barrel.

Nice to hear about your willing to give us a better condition to aim with the cannon/barrow tip, Zup. As I said, it is very annoying not being able to see where you are aiming at while riding the tank in third person view. The idea of the virtual arrow is good, if you choose not to change the tank original proportions and cannon lenght. But remember that, if using an arrow, it needs to give the player a sense of depth (a "flat", shaped 2d or 3d arrow, instead of a single unidimensional vector line).

And giving the tank a little more speed would be nice also...

But I need to thank you very, very much for already giving the tank and automatic break feature when on first person view!!! Finally!!! It was annoying when I managed to fine-tune aim from long distance, and after each shot, seeing the tank moving back, forcing me to fine-tune again... Nice feature, indeed!

Zuperman,

GREAT update...I love it....the tank looks awesome....I somewhat echo the canon comment but I like the realism due to the Renault having that short canon....Your idea of an "arrow" is a GREAT idea..The speed of tank is just a tiny bit slow but not too much slow...just inch it up the mph just a tad...maybe the torque of the tank so that it isnt as dragged down up the hill (if that is realistic WWI)

I personally like the arrow idea or the transparent front part of tank to see barrel vs the longer barrel...for realism and play-ability combined. However, I'm soooo much used to the longer barrel...so whatever you and the customers as a whole decide, Zup, I'm for. IMO, having the Renault with a longer barrel seems funny in light of history where the Renault had a short barrel. However, if you do the arrow, or the transparent from of tank for the person in tank to see the barrel. that might be cool. Anything to help us pilots be able to shoot the tank while its moving would help..cause I know in WWI the Renault shot all the time while moving.

I will say as a historical question (and its humorous too)....How did those old WWI tankers aim with the Renault?....

Overall I love the upgrade... the new tank looks great....it seems tiny....

I will say that it takes 5 bullets sometimes 3 or 4 bullets to shoot down the Renault. It seemed the number of bullets to shoot down the tank varied and seemed fewer in number to destroy the tank than previous tank....is that realistic cause I thought the Renault had more armour...I know on the previous tank it took more bullets to shoot down. It seemed like 7 bullets but I might be wrong. I might be wrong on all of this since you have done the history on the realism of all of the game.

To all who have commented:

My best advice for all those who want to get better at tank is to practice firing tank with trial and error in the Capture the Carrier mission.....As long as the pilots are not "spawnkilling with tank"....

Hulk and all other pilots, what do you think of my suggestion of an "informal agreement", if a pilot is in a tank and is clearly not spawnkilling with the tank, to not shoot the tanks down as they practice their tank?....

Just a suggestion...

Seroiusy, stopping to look through the scope is death. The only time real tank aces do this is to shoot down planes.

I can drill the carrier with the new tank aim is dead on.But the tank flips to easy and won't flip back .please give the tank a barrel ,it looks like a camo rat

Just experience this:

Shot down right next to carrier in open water.

I jump into tank.

Tank elevates about 500 meters and is dropped back to the ground.

Tank lays on its side in the water for 20 seconds until it is destroyed.

Forgive me if this is old news; ive been gone four months.

Maybe Zuperman doesnt want us to be in a tank while we are in water anymore only on land?....just a thought..(I know I used to be in tank close to carrier while in water and used to always get only one shot in as that was all that was allowed.

Is this a joke what's with this lemon, I'll pass on this, might go back to the real world for a few months. Chow

Maybe you should take that lemon and turn it into lemonade?... Unless one lemon is not enough to make lemonade...Man I love lemonade...what a wonderful drink.

Yeah, darraxx and i fought in a one-on-one tank duel. It was like two drunk retarded kids trying to shoot eachother with broken nerf guns. It ended when i blew both of us up.
