Position of flag on top of a tank

[Rohrmeister 1,535]

I cant see my railgun turret very well, when I have a flag and I am on the run.

 - Could it be placed a liiiittle more to the side?

 - Or be much more transparent in my personal view?

 

Just a timy tweak and would help soo much..

pls vote this up if you like the idea!

 

 

 

 

EDIT: screenshot with explainations in the spoiler below

 

 

This is my most used fighting perspective, as it offers

- a view right to the horizon

- good local overview around the tank

- can look over small obstacles

 

See how hte flag is right infront of the rail barrel.

And If I turn the barrel or the tank while driving, the view is always slightly delayed, which leads to even more overlap.

 

The shown position/direction/weapon aim in the screenshot is a very common one. As after grabbing the flag I most often need to shoot the corner over there, as there is a defender waiting for his weapon to charge up.

 

So you see, the flagposition on the tank is not vers usefull.. or the flag is not transparent enough.

More transparency or a better placement would help soo much!

Oh yeah.....quite distracting. ()

Exactly!! 1000 upvotes.. :)

It also disturbs in close range combat.

[mdit108 121]

yh.. especially in maps with greater amount of players... too distracting, upvote from me.

[Rohrmeister 1,535]

nice that you guys like it ;)

I agree too

When I saw the new flagshape of irondays (which I like!), I hoped for a second it may solve this issue.

But it makes the same troubles.. as soon as the flag is on my tank I have no clear sight on my barrel and aiming gts hard.

With a rauilgun where each miss leads to potential death.. this is not so funny ;)

 

Would you maybe consider of miving the flag a little more to the right on our tanks?

 

Please vote up if you support that ;)

 

thanks :)

We could have the flag slightly transparent.

Ran out of up votes.

We could have the flag slightly transparent.

Today the flag is slightly transparent.. but it is not enough for the tank pilot himself.

 I keep changing my view so I never get distracted, but a neat idea for those who do get distracted  :)

If a mod agrees (lordmosatfa) you know this is gonna be added :P

[deadtoyou 2,502]

Just because a Moderator agrees to the idea does not mean it will be added, it just means a Moderator agrees with your idea.

 

The Developers operate separately from the Moderators, so just because @lordmostafa posts "I like this" does not mean assurance for this idea into the game.

 

NOTE: I am not saying his opinion does not matter. ;)

Of course, but do keep in mind we are an extension of the Developers, so don't suddenly throw us under the bus quite yet. *chuckle*

 

Note: I'm not ignoring the fact you already acknowledged his opinions mattered.

 

An additional point, if you place the flag more to one side or the other, you then hinder the user to see on that particular side, it would be better to make the flag carrier view the flag as extremely transparent.

Hello.

 

I don't have any problems with flag position on the tank... But if some players have a problem with this, i agree with this idea :)

You can't see the barrel when you have the flag? :huh: And you want it more to the side?

Personally, it has never been a problem for me. When every I have the flag, it is on the side of my turret, so I can shoot just fine. Either it shows up differently on your screen, or you have bad eyesight, so I hope it's the first one ;)

[Rohrmeister 1,535]

^ maybe you consider to look at the things from a different point of view. literary ;)
