Machine gun turrets on tanks?

30-04-2003, 08:26 AM

Should there be a machine gun for the commander and gunner to use when turned out of the tank turret? Also, should T72/T80 have a heavy machine gun for anti-air defense?

A tank commander should be able to man the 50 cal when the hatch is open on us Tanks. The same with russian tanks the commander should be able to man there MG but they should not be able to shoot down missiles.

I always wondered why they were never implemented, it seems like a basic idea.

because that would be multiple gunner positions, wich isn't possible with the current poseidon engine

hopefully they'l make some fire effects for houses/tanks too

Yeah, some fire effects would be great. how about some of the destruction effects too? I alwaays disliked how the houses just sort of folded in on themselves.

The way flashpoint works is when an object is hit and destroyed, the geometry of the object is destroyed, which is the only thing keeping the LOD's from collapsing, when it is destryed the LOD's on the corners fold in on themselves, i think that it is this way because they had to make sacrifices because of the huge scale of the settings, if the spolsions were very deatailed it would send upsystem specs.

what up yeah the M1 MBT should have a 7.62 coaxial in the turretfor the gunner to hose down people.
the loader has a m240c 7.62 monted on a coppula mount
the TC hac a Ma' duece on a coppula mount.

I have been downrange of all three MG positions firing and it is a beautiful thing baby!!

think I spotted me pants that day I did!!
