The Drone Recon

[Hex 11,522]

You could add a new feature called the Drone Recon.

 

General:

When you press the 6 button, it would activate the drone, the controls would be the same as the tank, you will be able to fly the drone into the enemy's base for recon, until it gets shot down. Once it gets shot down you screen returns to normal view with your tank, (in the drone view you are seeing through a camera that is mounted on either side or beneath the drone).

Its design would be like any other drone, by pressing the 6 button, the drone appears just infront of your tank, and the camera changes from normal view to drone view.

It would not be able to shoot, but it can manuvuer itself out of the enemy base even without them noticing.

When you unlock the drone at , you have to buy it from the garage, once you bought it there is no need to buy it again, it would not run out like other drugs. Instead, if would be cool-down system. Once you used it, it would take like 10 minutes before you use it again.

The enemy would know by a flashing red button when the drone is activated on the friendly team.

And to take out its abusive powers, only one team member can activate the drone in 10 minutes, so in a sixty minute game, the drone can be activated 6 times.

 

Heres how it will work:

A tanker with a 6 button cooled down, hides behind a building like the one behind red base in Kungur, he presses the 6 button, takes off, and then flies closely to the ground and in the bushes and stuff (the drone would be able to see through the bushes like Shaft), and then flies into the blue base, gets high above and does recon, where are the defenders and stuff. Meanwhile, the blue defenders et cetra try to shoot the drone down. If it get shot down, the camera changes to normal view and you get back to your tank. If it escapes the enemy base and returns to your tank, it automatically changes back.

 

Pros:

• Recon the enemy base.
• Good for clan wars.
• See the defenders and then pass out thier positions to the attackers.
• No use in a small map, therefore, would increase popularity in large maps like Dusseldorf.
• Excellent for CTF, and CP actually in big maps.

I cannot think of any others actually :3

 

Cons:

• No use in a small map.
• The enemy would know if its coming.
• No use in DM, TDM
• It cannot shoot, just fly and recon

Misc:

The drone can be auto-aimed like any other tank. Also, the maximum time you can fly the drone at once is 1:00 minute each.

It would also have a maximim altitude to where it can fly to or it will self-destruct, it would be 60% of the altitude to where you self-destruct presently.

 

So here it is guys! Please give your feedback below, thanks!

sounds good.

How do you shoot down a drone in the sky with low firing angle?

[QueenSeraphina 407]

Like that, drones will be flying all over the field like insects instead of tanks :)

 

What happens to the tank when the drone is being released? Do you control that or it becomes a sitting duck?

sounds good.

So you are flying a drone, while your tank just stands there and does nothing? Seems like a waste of time. You're basically going to be standing on pause while you're flying the drone.

 

Also, Tanki Online isn't the sort of game where something as strategic as drones would come in useful. This is a fast-paced arcade, where most of the time you just need to attack, die, respawn and attack again. Everything happens so fast that there is no time to fly some drones around for surveillance.

No. It's totally useless like MAFIOS0 said, and some troll will waste the drone deployment anyway. Just get a fast hull and sneak around the back. Heck, you might even be able to cap something like that.

Shaft, Railgun, Hammer, Twins, Thunder basically everything except for Isida, Fire and Freeze. You can target the drone with auto-aim just like for tanks.

I said only 1 member of each team can activate a drone only 1 time in 10 minutes, so 2 drones will be flying in the first 10 minutes of the game.

Oops, apologies, I forgot to add that you can only fly the drone for 1:00 minutes maximum.

Well duh, you cant fly the drone and drive your tank at the same time.

Dude, all I know is guys like you will troll, :P But no, in some cases it might be useful NOT a troll.

Higher than that.

I think you just put anti-camping in a nutshell. Thanks, I needed that.  :)

[Sparsh12 93]

Sounds fun, but not suitable for Tanki.(My opinion)

[Hex 11,522]
