ZQuickSilverZ Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I know ED is a FLIGHT SIM company. But I think it would be SO AWESOME to see ED make a high fidelity tank game (maybe a spin off studio). I know a tank sim would have different graphic and physics requirements than a flight sim and may fall out of thier expertise. Also there is that whole needing at least 3 people to properly operate a tank problem. But I think World of Tanks has proven there is definately a market there for tanks (though admittedly WoT is pretty arcadey and not a sim so the markets are a bit different I suppose). I have no delusions of this actually happening of course. But this is a DCS WISH LIST. And to me DCS T-72 would be pretty awesome. Again I know this will never happen but its fun to imagine the possibilities. This was written for entertainment purposes(mostly;)) Also I would LOVE to see gunner controls for a PC. They basically had this in the old star wars arcade game. Why haven't these things ever been publicly available? If you have a link to USB gunner controls please post it. I need, I need, I need...

Shinigami Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 +1 DCS T-90 fully simulated Desert Storm ambient or like WWII Kursk battle ambient or better Europe Cold War invasion. Yea that would be AWESOME but like you said is almost impossible AFAIK, but ho knows. La guerra, asi como es madrastra de los cobardes, es madre de los valientes. Cervantes. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
98abaile Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 The problem there is that tanks are crew operated and rely very much on analogue human judgements and decisions. They also operate as part of armoured groups or as infantry support and are much more a tactical thing than a technical thing (unlike a FS). A full on tank sim would either have to be multiplayer only or require some seriously epic AI. Your best bet if you want to have fun with tanking is to join an ARMA clan. http://ttp2.dslyecxi.com/veh_usage.html

Pyroflash Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Leopard 2A6... Oh wait... Yeah, ED making a tank would be awesome. Though I think if they were to do anything it should be a SAM site like an S300 or PAC3 or something. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.

Your best bet if you want to have fun with tanking is to join an ARMA clan. http://ttp2.dslyecxi.com/veh_usage.html Maybe I should have been just a bit clearer. I thought I acknowledged that a tank would need at least 3 people. This requirement by itself would almost necessitate online play. Perhaps I should have said an ONLINE tank simulator. I assumed this would be a given with the three person to a tank comment. I agree about a crew for sure. Jumping around from station to station or depending on A.I. is not at all desirable. That is why an online tank sim would be so hard though. Its hard to get three people in sync and hard to get a good enouph crowd to make an online match "doable" (you know 3 people per tank times several tanks). I guess thats why we will always be stuck with arcade fair like WoT. Though Wot is successful and a fun game. Also I am sorry but I don't see anything in Steel Beast that screams to me "must have". The sad fact is there is just not enouph of a market to float servers for this game. Unless it was massive multiplayer.........maybe. Edited June 17, 2011 by ZQuickSilverZ I need, I need, I need...

Boberro Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 And with a simple Kornet of 5000USD M1A2 is a pice of scrap metal So far no any of M1A1 (and upgrade M1A2) have been destroyed from the enemy tank fire. IIRC the only one kill was by the trap mine. Game is over heeheh, you must accept it :D Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...
