valid Protective shields for hulls

[Ahmed_harati 0]

First of all, Hi, i am a tanker since 2012-13 and i am happy to get back to tanki online after years

 

Oh right, the idea

So when i play i noticed these protection "Modules" that gives your tank a protection from certain turret,

Then how about something else?

 

Why not shields?  

 

Shields are physical parts that you can install on your tank to provide some protection,

Yes i know about modules, but alongside of having protection against certain turret, why not protection from a certain side?

 

I am talking about having a  protection from Front, side and rear

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The way how the shield should look on the tank is all up to you, the core idea is providing yourself with extra time before you get destroyed once you get respawned,

 

But the way how the shields WORK, i have an idea you could use or use your own way if you'd like:

 

-Tankers get provided with shields that can be upgraded like all other tank features (E.g turret, hull, modules)

 

-Each side of the shield has their own health bar and it get destroyed upon reaching 0 HP, the shield's health cannot be replenish by an allied isida

 

-Even if your shields are destroyed, it will come back upon respawning

 

-If you got hit, the shield will take damage first, otherwise if there's no shield on that side, then you get the damage

 

-Tankers may upgrade a specific side of the shield, and not all the shields at once

 

-Shields provide no protection against mines, since tanks get damaged from below, in case of surviving the mine damage, the shield will also take damage

 

 

 

So i hope the idea interests you and let me know what do you think and tell me if something should be changed

I think this is very similar to the Double Armour supply, but unnecessarily complicated and confusing. Also don't forget that the more protection items there are, the longer tanks live, resulting in lower battle funds. Discuss.

 

P.S.  Awesome diagram. A perfect 5/7 for realism.

More stuff for buyers

It could be a replacement to the DA supply, thus giving you a single permanent protection to buy and upgrade, rather than one you have to constantly buy, use and buy again.

Could be. Then druggers will be less of a problem

I like the idea. Maybe rear protection should be unavailable, allowing surprise attacks and such to an undefended rear. This could make light tanks viable in small maps.

If this is added to the game, expect a lot more railgun and magnum users

DA reduce the damage taken, but shields takes the same damage as the tank would take without them, And the shield won't take reduced damage when using DA

Tanki battlefield is like a jail, Both places requires a rear protection
