[Declined] First Tank Ready Indication

[bigx 14]

Hi guys,

 

I don't know if other players have the same problem as myself, but in 99% of all battles I join, my first spawned tank is just a moving ornament.

 

This suggestion is to prevent charging off into the enemy causing zero damage, and the inability to collect or return flags or pick up supplies with a 'ghost' tank

 

I found going too soon means the tank does nothing useful at all,  and sitting there like a lemon waiting for some unknown amount of time to elapse generally results in certain death.

 

Would it be possible to have a sound (bong, ping or something) or a brief screen Flash i.e. 'Go' or 'Ready' or some form of warning light to notify players their first tank is ready for action thus removing any guesswork?

 

I have found this only ever applies to my first tank in a map, all subsequent spawnings work fine.

 

Does anyone else suffer this problem, is it just a foible of the game/server, is it my connection or is there some set time I have to wait, perhaps using the battle clock?

What you are describing is a gameplay glitch, which isn't supposed to happen. So developers won't spend time making something that will help players deal with the glitch. That's just pointless effort. They may eventually fix the glitch, but implementing this idea is like building a bridge over a fallen tree that blocks the road instead of just removing the tree.

Ah righto Mafioso, thanks for letting us know. Then it is what it is and it must be tolerated, no problem. Maybe one day...  :)

What WOULD be nice if respawning didnt take so damn long! You sit for like three seconds staring at your dead tank, then another couple seconds for the camera to go to your next spawn point, then to wait for your ghost tank to appear then for it to fully form which I have counted takes nearly 10 seconds! Also, dead tanks need to disappear faster.

No need for it has its tactical uses
