Hear me out. And I'm sure this thread exists someplace else, but I couldn't seem to find one, at least, not through the pile of WOT comparisons when i searched... I know they don't PLAN on including tanks and its certainly not something we'll likely see anytime soon but what do you guys think of them being included eventually? Would you like to see them included on a small scale or even as AI or target practice or whatever? This includes artillery (and no hopefully not in the magical sattelite view form) and can even stretch to include battlearmor later. What would you think of using battle armor too? Just wondering what the consensus is on whether you want it to stay a mech v mech game or wouldn't mind seeing that expanded.
I had a character in TT that specialized in driving hovertanks. They werent as powerful as any mech, but were just as heavily armored as any lighter mech and were incredibly fast. I cant recall any other details, but I my character drove nothing but hovertanks and participated in battles in a tank that existed in some technical readout... My characters other major skill was in aerospace fighting. The GM never really ran a game involving hovertanks and aerospace fighters before, but since its what I liked he incorporated them into mech battles. my Favorite aerospace fighter was called the Lucifer, and the tank had a name too but I forgot it.
Anyway... tanks were part of the BT universe, even in TT. I definitely would like to see them added in some form or another, to add more diversity, flavor, variety to the game. I would even like to see aerospace fighters and dropships have a part to play in MWO, if possible.
