So this guy I've been talking to on the steam forums has been working for the last year trying to get a drivable, shootable tank for DoD:S. He's very close to finishing, just a few bugs to work out, since valve made it close to impossible to actually pull this off.

He hopefully will be finished with it soon, and as soon as it's ready, I'm going to make a map, specifically with this in mind.

The tank is destroyable by shooting it with 2 rockets in the front or side, or 1 rocket in the rear. (disables the tank and kills the passengers) It then respawns just like a player would. It also has two compartments, driver and gunner, who both have controls over the tank. The driver can move the tank forwards, backwards, left and right while the gunner can turn the turret 360 degrees and raise or lower the cannon and fire it. Also, the turret is in a seperate compartment, so the gunner is free to move in any direction while the driver stays stationary.

If this actually ends up working out in game, it will bring a whole new aspect to DoD:S and a new set of possibilities to map making.

I ,for one, can't wait!!

Btw, he made that entire tank from scratch, that isn't a pre exsisting model in the game.

That would be sweet. And maybe we could have a tank crew in the battalion? That would be sweet aswell..

I like the idea.. A fresh breath to the game if its possible..

Hooah!

that's freaking awesome and yeah I like the idea of having our own tank crew or something.

Are we going to be the first unit with this mod or w/e cause that might attract alot of people also to our pub to help fill it up. It went down like 30 ranks so far so not good =(.

yeah i like what phan is saying, if we can get our hands on this first, before anyone else, maybe we can have a full server almost 100% of the time.

Q1. will the tank be able to be placed in anymap?

Q2. Do you think it will be too hard to destroy it? or perhaps too easy?

Q3. do you know if he is going to be workin on a US tank? you know to make it even for both teams to have a tank.

It is still a work in progress.

Yes if he gets this to work, it will be an Allied Sherman and an Axis Tiger.

He is working out the hitboxes to see what works best for how to destroy the tank.

This will only be on maps that have the tanks built into the map, it's not a mod, it's a map model that can be used by mappers.

If this goes through, and I really hope it does, I would be able to say, open Donner, add the tanks to both teams, and have tank battles on Donner. Just an example, I wouldn't be able to use Donner because that would make valve unhappy.

I would however make a map that implemented this. For example, The allies are trying to push deeper into axis territory, the only way they can do so is to escort their sherman deep enough into axis territory for it to destroy a set of walls that are blocking them from the objectives. You can create walls in hammer editor that only break from certain types of damage, be it rockets, tnt, nades, etc... these tanks have their own damage scale, say 1000 damge per shot. No other weapon in the game has that amount of damage capabilities so the only way to destroy the wall would be escort your tank to the proper place.

Like I said, if, and I need to stress the if part, he gets this working, it opens up a whole new set of possibilities for dod:s.

BTW, dod_flash_tiger is an example of what could be done. In that map the axis need to escort a tank to allied spawn and once it reaches the alied spawn it fires a shot that destroys a barrier to let the axis win. You can't control this tank however and it only ,moves when you clear the path ahead of it with tnt. Imagine that, but being able to drive the tank anywhere you want and shoot it at will.

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
