Completed Add a Radar/Minimap

[BRO0088 1,724]

but visual sight works with electro-magnetic waves too, like the radar.

They come from a source and get reflected.. like a radar.

 

Only the frequency used is a little.. different ;)

That's y  camera angle is called a camera angle & a radar is called a radar.

 

We name things different depending on their use & their properties a camera angle is like a kind of a mirror and we can see because of light rays reflects to the objects & enters the eye whereas a radar is a detector which detects things or movement in the surrounding environment by via radio waves & appears as a small dots.

Just guys, implement it.

Like every war game has it so, why not in tanki?

Check WoT.

Add a Radar/Minimap LAG

Why can't we be special? It is boring if all games are the same... Radar would make tanki much worse.

ok, you convinced me to mark ironical jokes with an [irony] tag in the future ;)

Of course you were perfectly right from the start ;)

Check WoT.

WoT and Tanki Online have a completely different game play, so the "all have it" argument does not work here.

 

In WoT you can not respawn. In WoT you can not visually see a tank on the other end of the battlefield. In WoT you need a radar, or you could not play tactical at all.

Because all this things work here, a radar is not really needed.

If this is added, what would be the point of stealth and camouflage???

Hello Fellow Tankers!

 

I was wondering if you could have a radar or mini map on a corner of the screen while you are playing a match.

The reason I believe this should be a good idea is because when people come across a new map to them for example a new player comes across the map Berlin, they won't be able to work their way around the map because either a shaft would snipe them or they would get completely lost. Why not get a radar to help them know where the enemy is!

I think this would be a great idea because when you spawn on your side of the map you can't see the enemy's name so that would be a disadvantage for a player who had just started the game, they would get confused.

 

I think maybe a radar would be fine because it would show where the enemy would be and it would be a unique way of hunting down players and not have to go though that hard hunt of finding players. 

I think also there should be a specific sign of the gold box because sometimes it players would go on a paining hunt just to look for the gold box and it would be unfair if a mammoth would be on one side of the map and the gold box drops on the other side and would have to go or stay on one match and wait 15 minutes of another one to drop.

 

I'm not sure about a mini map maybe it would be a good idea because it would show you detail of where you are going. 

 

Maybe there should be a tank icon to show where the enemy players and the friendly players are. 

The friendly should be green.

The enemy should be red.

 

I hope this idea should really give you an image of what it would be like with this feature

 

Thanks,

You can already see your teammates names across the map

[KaBoomIGo 42]

Not many people will be able to tell what the map looks like in elevation Becuase a mini-map is 2D

we should totally add this because when you try a new ctf map half of the people dont know where the flag is.

Don't worry, they will get killed and lose the flag anyways, while they park their tank in the open and look at the minimap ;)

 

Map knowledge is an important thing. And I do not talk about the location of your own map, I talk about knowing where to hide, where to approach and where the enemy snipers usually hide. A minimap gives you none of this information. Especially not in a 3d environment that features sniper positions covered by roofs, tunnels and basements (industrial zone)

 

 

Furthermore you have to learn to drive your way home backwards, so that you can defend enemy tanks that follow you to hunt you down. You have to learn so many things about maps, that a minimap will help you nothing at all - if it does not reveal the enemy locations.

 

If it reveals the enemy locations, then the tanki gameplay would be completely changed.. and I fear, not to the better. At least Magnum players would be very fond of that update.. until the next necessary step of cutting their damage in half will follow soon after the release of the minimaps ;)

Giving that almost every game Ive played has had a small a virtual map that is usually a the bottom left or top corner of the screen of the PC gives tanki no reason not to add it as-well. Giving that this might help people on your team for finding each other rather than talking on the chat, this map can also be a helpful tactic to show where the gold box is going to fall. The map only shows your little arrow when in dm games and not everyone else. But in team battles your arrow will coordinate with the team color, but does not show the other team's positions.

Hello tankers, today I came up with another idea that would improve the game slightly, Let's Go:

 

So my idea is that there should be a radar added to the game when you're in battle.You'll have the option to activate it or deactivate it.You will also be able to choose where to place it while playing (i.e: Its position).This feature is perfect for taking out campers or players hiding with the flag.Currently, what I think is the radar itself will use the turret icon to locate the position of the player.

 

Turret Icon: The icon that appears next to your name after getting killed by a specific turret.

 

If this does not get added to the game, it can be used as a new supply if it was too OP.

 

Thanks for viewing my topic. ))

 

 

I post a lot ik.

I dont think tanki maps are that big that you'd need a map to see where you are going. Make a map and join in private and run through it and there you have it, For me atleast its pretty easy to remember it.

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

I wonder how it would work in huge maps like Highways or Dusseldord. The radar would be quite big.

 

Also, this is quite unfair for campers, they would become targets. And btw, knowing where is a shaft in Highways would not be a big help since it's easy to change spots.

 

As for maps like Sandbox or Zone, the radar would be useless.

 

I think it would work best in Polygon, Silence, Year 2042...

 

But it would be a problem in Gravity, Noise, Madness... There are different levels in these maps.

Camping spots such as the famous one in Kungur will become useless then.

[Mjro7 2,837]

hmm ok Like It ._.

[TakeAShower 300]

Could be a setting... although I think it unneccessary.

[21985_the_master 422]

nah not so excsitided

[GeorgeOnsiAlfy 306]

I like it. It exists in Red Alert and Empire Earth. But what about gold box drop zones? If it will be visible in that small minimap then everyone will know the gold box's place...

 

Edit: I'll give you an example screenshot from empire earth game. (I couldn't screenshot with lightshot or even bandicam on red alert)

I tend to have a good enough idea where everyone is.

Minimap is kinda necessary in RTS games. Not so much in TO, with tiny maps and multiple levels.
