Tanksim Squad for T-34 vs. Tiger online battles: signup sheet
Whatever the virtual tankers call themselves. I know some clans of RO have secondary units for that sim. But I'm wondering if there won't be a clan, sqd. plt, whatever, dedicated to WW2 Battle tanks. I don't think any sim that have tanks as a secondary player can really do it justice anyway.
I've always enjoyed being in a sqd. for the flight sims I've owned and I'm thinking that this will translate well if the multiplayer is as descibed. Yeah, I'm jumping the gun, just pre-ordered from GoGamers.com and it never hurts to do some homework before committing oneself. |

Let's start one here, Tanksim squad. I'm in. You want to be the CO? What do we need to get started? Maybe we can start this thread as a sign up sheet.
I just played my first MP game in T-34 vs. Tiger against Magnum of SimHQ, it looks very promising. There is an easy mode that allows you to use your AI crew, and an expert mode where it's all you. With two players, no lag. For a moment, I forgot why it's called "Deathmatch" And then it came back to me!

I've been called out, lol.
OK I'll put my ambitions where my mouth is, I'll do the CO thing. I've done it before with the flight sims, there can't be too much difference. I'll just have to remember not to retract my gear.
First thing we need is information. Information only you have at this point. I wasn't going to sign up with any particular unit, clan, whatever, until I could see how the multiplayer worked. Is it feasible for a good team effort? Upon your word sir, hangs the fate of subsim's .... Well, that's another matter needing to be addressed. Do you want it to be called a tank sqd, plt. clan, keeping with the original nature of subsim, a flotilla? We need a name. A tank plt has 4 tanks IIRC. How many can get into the server at one time? Maybe Magnum can start a unit at simhq and we can have some friendly team matches. Oh yeah, are we dedicated to one side or the other? I understand void skins are included so custom skins are possible. |

The game allows for 16 players in Skirmish (deathmatch) and team mode. Let me quote from the game manual to give you a better picture: Quote:

I will ask the devs about custon skins. I do know you can choose your tank number in MP. Good ideas, keep them coming! Neal (aka PanzerMax) |

I would like to join up! Neal has sold me on this game/sim and multiplayer could be excellent. This type of game really lends itself to multiplayer action. When is the game due out anyway?
Edit, I had to go back a read the recommended specs to play. I'm far above and beyond what is recommended.

Stickied. Depending on the echo and popularity this receives, I'll leave it as a separate thread on its own, or attach it to the Resources-sticky in a couple of weeks. All of you guys: if you want this sticky staying visible, make the project an experience well alive!

"Dedicated, as in you can only play as a Tanksim guy."
I think you're saying no duel memberships with another tank clan. I agree. But what I meant was dedicated to a German or Soviet tank unit? If we stay casual I guess it wouldn't matter as long as we had some markings that identified us (custom skins). I mean, if we are allowed the tank we want then target Identification would not be by sillouette alone. Dayglow T34 anyone? Or we could decide to do both and switch back and forth as the situation dictates. I was thinking that we could have both historical campaigns where we use realistic settings, but also a time where we just do the ultra casual thing. Anyone can partake of either or both. I got ahead of myself. I should have asked, can we write our own online missions? If so we can have a historical coop campaign. This can be casual, mid-casual or tightly realistic. If this thing takes off then we might expect to see other units pop up and that might mean having to adapt to whomever we're playing. That is, if someone comes up with ladder matches like in IL2. Or we could cooperate with another clan and write our own campaign. Roll of the dice sets the map up, like a board game. Can the ingame comms divide the sides like team speak does? I'm hoping my machine can handle this game as well. I noticed the requirements are the same across the board. Minimum and recommended. I have a hard time translating what the processor requirements are into duel core speak. So we have half a name then... Tanksim something, or something Tanksim. Edited, I posted this before I read Warhawk's post as I was apparrently writing it as he posted. We have one vote for T34's (Soviet side). German units were known to have used captured T34's. But I'm thinking if a lot of clans begin cropping up the majority of them will probably be German clans as German tanks are Kwell (did I get that right?). So if we dedicate ourselves to the Soviet side we most likely won't be at a loss to find a good game. That is if we go down the road of defining ourselves as one side or the other. Then again we could have both sides represented by Tanksim guys/gals as was the case with SH2 and Destroyer Commander. Edited again. here's the link for Gogamer's page. They're saying the 31st. http://www.gogamer.com/WWII-Battle-T...VVviewprod.htm Last edited by Boats; 10-23-08 at 03:39 PM. |

Hey, I never play online! I'm just a shy boy. I recommend to advertise at simHQ. They have famous online events for ArmA and RFactor running. They plan to be back online this weekend, their info screen says. Wether it all functions then is something different! Release: a huge German game seller lists release now as 27th Oct (www.okaysoft.de)

I am very excited about the multiplayer even more since i read in the review that there are only12 missions in total, which is some kind of a big bummer. Hope to see many of you guys on the virtual battlefield! |
