Light effects for hulls (headlights)


 Share

Recommended Posts

I know, this idea is "TOPIC MERGED" but i was thinking that you can turn on/off m3 headlights by pressing "H".

Theres reasons why its good:

* Maps, what are in night mode. Useful!

* can turn ON if its day mode.

* Makes gameplay a bit cooler.

:>

No, key L should be used for headlights. Key H can be used for horn - "beep beep"

You know the lights on M3 hulls right?

My idea is that the lights on M3 hull can shine on the groud for a extra cool affect you can turn it on in your settings

I don't completely agree. When you first enter night mode, the screen is very dark, but soon seems to lighten up a bit (or your eyes get used to the dark screen) and it becomes easier to pick out images at a distance. Dark tanks can hide in the shadows. Headlights are a dead give away. 

 

Take Rio, for instance, on blue side up on the cliff where that big pipe sticks out. A tank can hide beside that pipe and, at a distance, it can't be seen. As you get closer, you begin to see the team identifying colors. With headlights on, a tank is no longer "invisible" and takes away that little bit of strategy. If this is opted in, then you should be able to opt out in settings.

Make hulls headlights brighter

 

 

 

I assume these are headlights on every m3 hull, if not open vents making the inside fire visible.

Anyways, why not make these brighter as to glow in dark stages. I myself honestly think it'd make battles more interesting and nothing would be wrong to make the hulls look better.

Hi developers and creators, I thought that if the fake headlights in front of the tank hull were to actually turn on in night maps and give out a beam of light like a real headlight in a car. And it would be cool if you can change the colour of the lights too.

Been five years and yet this simple idea is still not Completed?

Nothing simple about this idea. In order to look decent, it requires a complete redesign of the in-game lighting engine. This is a humongous task, although something like it may be planned for a future update, since devs said in a recent stream that they will be able to improve lighting in maps in order to make them look better. Adding dynamic headlights may end up being part of that update, but there is no guarantee any of it will happen at all.

Make Special "Light effect" for Hull,  just like for Turret we have "shot effect".
It should be even more interesting with Ultra skin that display more lights!

16 dynamic lights from headlights + dynamic lights from drop boxes + dynamic lights from shots? Performance might take quite the hit . . .

This would be on the players "gaming equipment" side, with an option like for the 3D trees players could set up to the level of their equipment performance. This is mostly cosmetic for buyers which i am sure would be able to afford top  end equipment.

(This is a nice and small update to do for more self-tanker satisfaction.)

I feel some tankers, if not all, would want to customize their tank further by being able to choose different Hull colors to use.

This way, tankers can have a perfect Skin for Turret/Hull, perfect Shot Effect for their Turret, and perfect Hull Color for their Hull.

 

  • As you all see, we have blue lights with an Mk7 Hull.
  • When it's XT, the colors become camouflaged yellow, and are hard to notice.
  • With Prime skin, we get blue and yellow which makes the hull look good with this skin. (But tankers could also want glowing purple to be the color of their Hull's lights.)
  • And finally, for Ultra Skin, we have Greenish-Blue lights on Hunter.

 

So we should get an option in the Garage Hull section to change the color of the lights. (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, White, Brown, Black, etc.) (Spectrum Lights can be a Hull Color too!)

Each color for the lights of Hulls can cost 10,000 Crystals or 50 Tankoins to buy.

 

What do you think about this customization feature?

Thank you.
