Tank vs Infantry Update Back

Boris308 8 months ago

Currently tanks are not very effective against infantry, and infantry is not very effective against tanks.
I understand that tank machinegun exists but it feels very clanky because movecraft can only turn 90 degrees as opposed to real vehicles in real life that have a full range of motion. It is easy to just stand next to a tank and enter a stalemate. Tank can't do much to you, you can't do much to a tank.

It feels like movecrafts on the battlefield and the infantry are in two separate battles that just share the same location, and i think it would be better if the two would interact more.

Add RPGs, they should deal low amount of damage to a tank. Each player can carry only 3 at the time.
Add Sticky bombs, same but lower range and more damage.
Add a mechanic that allows tanks to deal damage to people if they run them over.
I'd say a knock back and 5 hearts of damage. Knockback should not be too severe, think creeper explosion.
Add a heavy machinegun like Maxim that deals huge amounts of damage and can only be fired from a tank.
(think rifle damage but rapidly)
So a tank crew could consist of two people if they have a machinegunner somewhere peeking out.

That way tanks would become extremely effective against infantry and infantry could also fight tanks.

-i would say for sieges RPG's would be very unbalanced if there is more than 10. it could have an deployment time of 5 seconds tho which might balance it a bit.

sticky bombs could work by sticking only in concrete and wont stick in terracotta/armour.

running over is illeagal.

Could be more interesting to have an external machinegun like a 50 cal which only a player can operate and not the pilot.

Interesting idea but it would need testing in the movecraft server first and see if its okay

I think the main issue here is that you can just stand next to a tank and its completely safe, tank can't do anything to you. There must be a mechanic that allows tanks to deal damage close range. If infantry can not do anything to tanks, they can just stand next to it and slowly destroy it, so by allowing infantry to attack tanks, we also must allow tanks to end the stalemate of having the infantryman just stand next to it.

Again, in real life vehicles have full range of motion, here its only 90 degree turns. Its so easy to just stick to a tank and it cant hurt you anymore.

I mean, in real combat scenario, if you DO get close to a tank, it actually cannot do much other than try to run you over or get a bit far from you to spray you with machinegun fire. Or if it was an American Tank from WWII, it would just turn you into a sieve with one of its many machineguns sticking from all its sides.

So, what if you could add multiple tank machineguns to tanks, at the cost of mobility and fuel consumption? Maybe with the limit being "no more than 1% (or 2%, or whatever%) of the blocks of a tank can be observers" or something.
