This is a game, what real life tank vs tank combat is like has nothing to do with WT.
WTs tank combat isn’t even remotely realistic anyways lol
As mentioned before, there isn’t much you can do there, outside of some visuals and maybe some HUD upgrades.
There have to be ways to make vehicles feel more modern without having them do almost everything for you.
That “single keybind” already is one of the very few keybinds that you actually need in most MBTs.
You could tie that automatic rangefinding to a target selection feature, which would tie into the modern FCS stuff, making something feel more modern doesn’t have to involve getting rid of things that the player has to on his own.
Would a tank that does almost everything for you feel more modern? Sure.
Would that make the gameplay more engaging? Not at all, it makes the gameplay less engaging.
is also a weird they will use F414 engines on it i belive so dont expect this to be like a super plane that would be f47 but im also guessing northtops prototype wont be thrown away
Some of my ideas to make modern vehicles feel more modern:
It wouldn’t really change anything about the tanks themselves, but I feel like the artillery at higher tiers could be upgraded to MLRS strikes.
Light tanks should also get to choose between the regular UAV and the Quadcopter UAV that they had in the Mobile Infantry mode a couple of years back (that Quadcopter UAV is still in the files and you can use it in testflight lol).
Something that would be cool, but probably not really possible, would be to let other players tap into an allies drone view.
Obviously modern gunner optics would help, but I feel like most people would prefer to use modded sights or custom sights through the sight editor. It would still add some flavour for those that choose to use them.
I fell like commander views could also use some upgrades, provided the tanks have “better” commander views.
The ability to “select” a target through FCS, similar to how planes can select a target in ARB, would also be neat. Having an optional lock-on tracking feature and automatic rangefinding for that target could be a neat idea.
No clue if modern tanks have rangefinders with the accuracy of LRFs, but without triggering LWSs, those should be implemented. I know that the PT-16/T14 Leo has a special LRF-like rangefinder that doesn’t use an actual laser.
As I’ve said before, I don’t think there should be a lead indicator against tanks though. You already don’t have to put much, if any, effort into ranging, it feels like taking the manual leading away as well would be a bit much.
should have keybinds (if not already) to switch LRF to human RF as Abrams for example has both and range finding and leading should be added its actually realistic
because it uses F414 engines making it weaker than F-47 just like I will call b21 6th gen F/A-XX is and can be considered 5.5++ gen which is what it is even with “all aspects” stealth which will be a struggle with F414 engines
why cant we call an upgraded F22 or f-35 6th gen? it isn’t going to be as insane as people would think its a mass produced maybe exported F-47 the contract itself is smaller than F-47 much smaller
We won’t know how “insane” or not the planes are going to be once they actually get revealed and enter production. Right now all that can be done is speculation.
