News Update #48: Water You Looking At!

[thens]

I rather suspect (as with the Lafette MG34/ Lafayette MG42 mount) the vickers will be a static weapon, something we could spawn in a map at random defensive positions ... that way ... that one road on the map won't be camped all the time (also ... that way, it wont be quite so easy as dropping a mortar round in the same spot)

Yep, I guess this would be the optimal solution. RO2 has proven that static HMG positions (with no random positioning whatsoever) are more or less useless and should rather be implemented differently.

tbh the idea is partially based on the RO2 one - only problem is ... on RO2 the MG was in one of two places. Suppose we could explore an option (as the map starts) that may see the commander for that side can chose a position as to where the MG can be deployed.

One advantage of a dev team which plays for fun the type of game it's making

Oh gosh gotta love the vickers, nice job TW team, keep it up and cant wait to get my hands on this masterpiece

Honestly, the best way to run it is to have a few static and one or two spawnables so players and choose to place it. In terms of gameplay, no animation is really needed, and you def will be treating it as a 'one player = the whole gun team' just like any other crew served weapons ingame.

I agree, static weapons always bother me to some degree because they are mobile (not as mobile as other weapons of course, but certainly mobile) and they're often easily bypassed or avoided. I liked FH's spawnable MGs; but of course they got misused. A hybrid system is probably best.

Keep it going devs, you have a lot of impatient WW2 (gaming) veterans waiting for this game to be playable

You guys should definitely think about adding the ability to brew tea with the water jacket. You know, immersion?

Great model! keep up with the great work.
