I think what would be really cool in the future is to have tank sights with a light/moderate zoom. FH would be the only mod like that, and you could combat tanks at r/l ranges.
Well, would you enter a burning vehicle? Only to save a kitten I hope. You shouldnt be able to get in it when its burning. A truck should approach it (yours or theirs) fix it, and the fastest man to the scene wins the prize.
Well, in FH, yes. Always. Even a burning Kingtiger is twice as deadly as any enemy tank, and since it takes many minutes to explode, I nearly always get to call an engineer to repair it and then the mayhem starts.
i would love to see:
- repair pads should heal tanks a lot slower.
- mines should be more "invisible"(like Silent Heroes did), and take more time to deploy and disarm.
- working deployable MG's..and increase recoil to the MG's(a bit for stationary and deployable MGs and more to the support class with MG..) there are a lot of sniper mgs in the game.
- NO EXPPACKS..ehe....62 will own
- the SMG's should have a bit bigger crosshair
- more balanced maps, especially desert and paficic...PIII or PIVF2 to the germans in the desert, and more weapons and defense to the japanese.
- THE MAIN BASE should be uncapturable until all other flags are captured....ex: Battle of the Bulge..every round i have played the germans take a puma, a KT or a single infantry man to take the main allied base...there are other maps with that problem..
- more TANK BATTLE maps, cant wait for kursk
a lot of things i like, sound, maps, quality models and skins, the new features (depoyable mgs, satchel charge, deployable artillery, elevator, ...etc) and the realism with fun
@Driver- To be honest your ideas arepretty radical like people being disabled after being shot in the foot and no health boxes or no engineers!!!!!! i mean whats gonna happen then? There is a border between fun and realism and your dieas would make the game a boring crapfest. Tell me is it realistic that on a map like Guadalcanal there should be 5 vs 5 knife brawls involving men named after evil foods, people named maxwell silverhammer or shocks? or maybe even the infamous Al capone went to Guadalcanal to fight with the Marines and watch large scale knife wars? hell lets all be named after ACTUAL soldiers that fought in the battle! Lets give each man 1 clip on Battle of the bulge to simulate shortages! Lets make Pilots have to go to flight school or on Crete the Allies lose because that is historic.What you Driver are suggesting is madness!!!!!!! fh would no longer be fun like it is now.If im right in saying all the cool vehicles, weapons etc will be in 0.62 it WILL be the greatest mod i have ever played.... now im gonna go join wolf to play knife wars.... anyone got anything to say about magical repair wrenches or the even more mystical repair truck that doesnt even come in contact with the thing its repairing? didnt think so :lol:
Silent Heros did a lot of wonderful things. When you get hurt, your view gets darker so it's harder to see. It accurately simulates a soldier losing his combat efficiency and effectiveness after being injured. I'd say FH should do that, but I don't know if blatently copying the idea is nice.
As for Repair and Healing stuff, it's fine as is. The cabinets are pretty rare, and helpful sometimes but not overpowered. Most things kill you too fast to bother with healing.
Another pet peve of mine:
TANK SIGHTS. The Tiger sight is incomprehensible. The round shoots somewhere in that triangle. I'd like to know where in that triangle to aim. Same with the Jackson and Stewart sights, a lot of the sights aren't lined up right.
And the final pet peve: G43 sniper kits only have 1 extra clip, which is both unrealistic and inconvenient. Snipers don't last long on any map and aren't a crucial unit, so there should be no ridiculously gimping side effects to getting a kit. Give the sniper kits a lot more ammo.

Use your imagination, if you dont have one, compensate by drawing a technical picture. Aiiiight? :talker: Now listen Capone, nothing, nothing, I said is radical. You want to have a fukn knife fight on a server, I aint stoppin you. Hell, I'll join you.
Slowing a person down after their shot, is not fukin radical. Its called common mother fucking sence. Say I put a nice kevelar on you, and shot you repedately with a full 30rnd clip of an MP5 in your chest. Now, would you be able to do the 2 mile run than in under 40? Hell, I dont think youd last the preassure after a 3 round burst.
Health boxes? Who needs them? 1 well placed shot with any 8mm/.303 and your gone. 3 shots at the most with anything else. What needs to be done isntead of the health box is a human target, displaying arms, chest, face, legs. 2 shots on one and your gone. 3 on any your gone. Something with high velocity on your vitals, your sure as hell gone.
Repair trucks have to be in "RANGE" to repair. You dont see a crew on repair deck, but you dont mind that.
The truck is less magic because it can carry things like an engine. If a tank is burning, how the hell are you going to repair the engine? Its gone man. If it was up to me, Id program this magic truck to have 3 bots pop out of it when it starts repairing and carry parts into the vehicle. Were limited though. Still, it beats the wrench. Also if you ask "but what about the navy? How do they repair?", well, theres this thing called dry dock. Its usually located far away from the battlefield, too far. I say out with the old, in with the new. Trucks I scream!
So you want these 3 magical engineers to pop out, and install a new tank engine in about 30 seconds? And go luck codding that bot thing, since I seriously doubt it can be done, with or without an SDK.
*edit
As for the health thing, would it be possible for the devs to code a cap on how much you could regain health? i.e. If you are shot, medic cabinets will only heal you up to 4-5 bars.
Ohioan... About those damn sights, on the Tiger I believe it is right above the triange, or in the middle. Im confused about that. Stewie and Jackie are on the +.
And yeah, and the low ammo snipers are a doozie. That needs fixing.

If I could code Id figure out a way... Make it look snappy too.
