Add a Radar/Minimap


Recommended Posts

Hey awesome bros out there I m @BRO0088 with a new idea.

 

I think there should be a radar/Gps system in the game.

 

Radar

 

If there is a radar in the game it would have been better which would detect the surrounding tankers.It may not be in any format matches except parkour .But  it would not have any map way outs.

 

GPS

 

If there is a map in the game it would have been better which would  show the map's way outs.It may be in all format 

matches.But It would not show the surrounding tankers.

 

 

Thank you

@BRO0088

This has been suggested many times and I keep repeating the same thing - Tanki Online UI is made to be as simple as possible, so that you can focus on the gameplay without having to look around your screen to press various buttons. The minimap will take up a large portion of the screen, becoming a big distraction. Besides, the maps in Tanki are quite small and the tanks move fast, so a minimap would be unnecessary.

or create a lag.

or create a lag. 

We can't know for sure how much a certain change or new feature would affect the game's performance, if at all. Which is why I never use "lag" and "frame drops" as the only reasons to decline an idea. With the exception of obvious reasons where a player is suggesting to, for example, add a massive realistic explosion effect or something like that (because particles definitely cause lag).

Maps are tooo small for this, and even implementing this on large maps only, wants a detailed scouting and stealth system to be implemented to retain any stealth, and you know the result - too complicated, too similar to WoT, nuff said

But isn't not knowing where enemy tanks are part of the fun of the game? And if the radar/GPS thingie doesn't tell you where enemy tanks are, why would you want it? It's not like moving around without a minimap is complicated.

Wait wait wait I posted a new  topic so why is it here ?U mods r more creepier then me.

I said it above. "Topic merged" means that the topic you posted was put into an already existing topic because both topics are about the same thing. In this case it's pretty much the exact same idea.

Why? This ruins the strategy of defense, ambushes, etc. 

 

It would have a terrible effect on gameplay. You could see the freeze coming behind you. You could see where all the defenders are and where to go.

 

Skilled use of page-up may help.

I think a minimap would have been better where only the wayouts would be seen & no surrounding tanks wont be seen. If we move the chat in the middle then the minimap could be in the left side.

A radar/mini-map does not need to show your enemies location. It would only show your friendlies location plus mark the location of friendlies' death. An enemy would only be shown if he/she self-destructs or dies.

Its called camera not radar.Radar is a different thing.

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 ;)

Hi there! I think it would be a great idea to add a little map on the bottom of the screen, in birds-eye view, that will display the positions of your team mates on the map. This could just be red or blue dots, depending on the team you're in, so that we know where our own players are positioned on the map. It could help healers find players and assist with strategy for attack and defense.

 

What does anyone reading this think?
