Kyle Harmse Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) If you want to know where most people stand on a more detailed implementation of Air Support (and as a result Air Defence) have a look here:http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showthread.php?t=20855 Hmm, well, if I wantd to play ArmA, id play ArmA. The very reason I looked at SB in the first place was because I was interested in a properly realistic tank-centric sim. Everything else is a bonus That aside, a platoon-wide pop smoke command for AI crews would be marvelous Edited July 31, 2014 by Kyle Harmse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Also, a Platoon wide Pop Smoke Command?Oh, + 1, very definitely. In RL the platoon commander can effect this very simply. Shouldn't mean a huge amount of new coding IMHO. But then what I know about coding is #0. :clin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Plus when connecting rear to rear the recovering vehicle have better torque forward on gear 1 then on reverse, so you get a stronger pull then when reverse-recover./KT Are you sure about this KT? I always understood that reverse was achieved simply by 'adding an extra cog' to 1st gear to change the ouput shaft direction without affecting the reduction ratio. But I could be wrong. I was wrong about something or other in 1975. Can't remember what; can't have been important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingtiger Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thats what I was taught during recovery training on the Bv410 (Viking MkIIb for you brits) just 2 month ago, so I asume its correct. But then again, I do not have access to the output ratios for the different gears.../KT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it's no big deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingtiger Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Could also be a difference between manual and automatic gearbox as well? Now I am curious! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Tjay, 1st gear ratio is lower than reverse. You can go faster in reverse than 1st. Exception being the T-72. Watch a "J turn" video. Typically when the car heads off forwards again you'll use either 2nd or 3rd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjay Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks Hedge. Makes sense for a tank, I guess, which may wish to advance very slowly but back up in a hurry if it doesn't like what it sees. A bit of trivia: In the 1920s, motor cars generally had a reverse gear that was a lower ratio (higher numerically) than their 1st gear, and would often tacke very steep gradients by going up backwards! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulstar Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Just started playing with SB PE, only playing Instant Action for now, do APCs carry infantry at all in this sim? Would be nice to have disembark and take up positions like they did in M1TP2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to have disembark and take up positions like they did in M1TP2.They certainly do- Instant Action has limited features or behavior, create or play any number of scenarios and you can play with mechanized infantry and APC dismounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wrong about something or other in 1975. Can't remember what; can't have been important. Towing (rear to rear) is very dangerous in combat, best to tow with good AFV (armour/gun) forward, well if you don't want a round up your rear (some might like this :bigsmile:) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingtiger Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 When you are in a tank that does matther yeah, but in a thinly skinned Viking like mine it does not matter, anything over 12.7mm penetrates me from any direction :icon_frown: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingtiger Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Well to be fair, for a long long time we have not been able to drive under bridges.But since 3.011 (right? or was it 3.002?) we are able to! :luxhello: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
