Gauging interest in WHAT IF there was a US Armor (well US made armor ww2) sim. Clickable gizmos and all that, real as you can get it sort of thing. Would you buy something like that? We have not had LEGIT sherman, stuart, lee tank sim in a LLOOOONNNNNGGGGGG time. And tech and computer power have changed ALOT since then. I want, am I alone? Dynamice campaigns and the like...all that stuff. Would you buy and how much would you pay? What Else in game would make it more BUYABLE.

I voted NO.
For the sole reason being that I'm not interested in tank simulators unless they are multi player.

Love tanks and tank sims. So ya, I'd buy it if it were decent. If it had multiplayer option then it would be even better.

If the tank sim included both multi player and German tanks too then my vote would be most definately "YES".

I think the lack of multi player is one of the main reasons SABOW and SF42 are on life support and in the process of expiring.

So I think if any new tank sim project were to be attempted it should include both multi player and the option to play at least 3 different tanks from each side,otherwise I think it would be a waste of time and effort to even consider or attempt a new tank sim project.

I think without multi player World of Tanks never would have been as succesful as it is today and if WoT was a single player game only I think most people would have said Bull Sh** to that game long ago especailly since skill doesn't seem to be the crucial factor in winning in that game as much as fantasy upgrades,artificial skills and perks.

well I said US made armor as personally miss that SO much. And at least German stuff was in K42. But ya... 3 playable tanks per side if a TRUE sim out the door.... unlikly to ever see that. If you where to actually do that with legit insides and the like.,... EEEK. No insides you can go nuts alot more easy. Or unless I guess do 3 types of same model.. like pz 4 D/E, F1/F2, etc etc. Or M4a1 early, m4a1 mid, m4a1 76mm gun plus wet stowage, M4a1 75mm wet stowage. blabla bla. AND no small companys/outfits have the pockets to do so much at once. Why legit flight sims have 1 plane. tanks are easier than a plane, but not by much with their own set of issues. But doing something like playable half tracks and stuff. Those are straight forward. And add more in....often ignored in gameland. Considering some in ww2 had BIG guns themselves..........


Actually m4a2 (used by Marnines and alot of lend lease) and m4a3 may not be much differnt on the insides at all.

WOT would have FAILED epic had been single player only.

dynamic campaigns yes, i am not so much for multiplayer - Multiplayer is rarely fun when there are no other people online to play it with and so the whole game is just dependent on other people being interested and usually only in a mass way. I would buy it if it had more in it for the single player to have an immersive experience and going up against realistic forces with realistic battalion sizes - something like Steelp Beasts Pro for WW2, but i am sure there must be something out there like this already isnt there?
M4 Tank Brigade was promising much but has delivered little but a comical arcade shoot out, ...hmm do somehting like a new version of 1944 Across the Rhine - still a fave old game for me, but it failed to deliver its simulation aspect in a usable way.

Every one will use a Tiger. If the game is modeled realistically German armor will have the advantage, because everyone wouldn't work together and beat them the way they were really beat.

When I get America's Armor finished, I will be switching all the models to WWII models and tweaking the code to suit the difference in armor and rounds.

I voted HELL YES btw...:)

I voted yes with some provisions.

1). I do agree German tanks are needed but some kind of parity is needed too. The M4 Sherman up against the PzIII or PzIV would be acceptable. If there are Tigers and Panthers then the Firefly should be available (even if not historical for US Army) or the ability to call up air support on the US Army side (since the allies did have air superiority by this time) or an readly available supply of HVAP rounds. Having Panthers and Tigers eating Shermans for breakfast all the time would not be good gameplay if you choose the US Army side. Like AA said it would make MP a total mess.

2). MP is important but not to the point that the simulator becomes MP top heavy with SP just thrown in as kind of an afterthought. Maybe limited to platoon vs platoon ?

3). Dynamic campaign is always a plus.
cheers

smile I'm not allowed to have an opinion until 2017 so I will not vote.

The TigerI is not a great tank. It is a good gun with great optics, mounted inside a heavy steal box, facing thinner skinned opponents. The TigerI at Bovinton was captured by 57mm armed Churchills. The 88mm gun of the Tiger has an advantage due to the mass of the shell. The greater the mass of shell vs thickness of armor, the less affect created by angle of impact. That is why the low Vo 152s of the Soviets were effective.

A 6X lens could be fitted to the Firely's optics. That is the main advantage over the US 76mm firing HVAP. Most US 76mm HVAP ammo was given to the TD units. Terrain (or line of sight) and objective are the primary deciding factors for the outcome of a 1v1 fight. Given an M18 and a TigerI within a fog giving only 500m visability, I would take the M18.

The M18 is my favorite WW2 armored vehicle. You put that in there, and you've got at least one sale.

I'm thinking that if you were to start with three tanks per side, I'd go with; Sherman, Churchill, M-18 (or M10). Germans would have the Panther, PZKW MK4, and the STUG. Good start, I think.

I would like both :D> But my tastes would be more coop than PVP. ANd a battle field full of combined arms mayhem. If I had my hand in the cookie jar forget playable tiger.....at least at 1st. More M3/m4 vs pz3/4. Build from that. But with OTHER important playable vehicles as well.... various tank destroyers etc... Alas to do a legit vehicle totally modeled and playable means few vehicles playable at 1st. The time and effort to do is massive. Simply creating the land form of multiple square km take ALOT of time.

For me a good single player campaign, especially a dynamic campaign, would be great.

For sale value you probably want the Tiger in there, because it is so iconic.

One feature I would love in MP is multiple people in one tank, especially if you could do a campaign like that.

Flashburn,

Andrey mentioned something about "Spherical Tanks in a Vacuum" DLC.

Do you have any idea what He means by that?

I'm a little perplexed by that description.

Yah,

I find that description a little odd.I figured that Google either totally fumbled the ball on that translation,or Graviteam is going to do some kind of DLC that involves a hypothetical NATO vs Warsaw Pact that Andrey considers pure fantasy and deserves the name "Spherical Tanks in a Vacuum".

or

Maybe they decided to run with your Mutant Zombie Space Nazis from the Moon DLC. lightsabers xwing rofl
