Panzer Poll

[aphid Profile]

The only bad thing about panzers is when they suicide. Getting killed in the trenches from them is just part of the game. An easy fix is to make killing yourself cause a bigger point reduction. Once you reach a certain negative score, you are kicked automatically. I am thinking something along the lines of -30 or so points. If you get, say, -60, you are kicked by the bot. After a while, if a panzer keeps suiciding then they will be kicked and someone who is not a poor player can get their hands on one. It just gradually happens during the course of the game. Would be a good idea if this can be restricted to people using panzers only. That is if you can actually do that without much trouble.

I doubt you can restrict the use of panzers from the basement though. I haven't done any mod or map making but I can't think of any code that would allow that unless you write some of your own code somehow. You can maybe make the basement a different map and give it it's own attributes but that seems like it would be tough.

I hear you aphid, I suicide panzer from time to time, but mainly when I am about to get gunned down, and usually only for more then one kill, If I'm just about to drop and I kill 2 others with me I think thats pretty good, but I wouldn't just do that, I'm talking once in 5 games maybe. Just from personal experience.

is there any logical reason to suicide yourself woth your panzer when you are almost to get the docs.
yeah sounds stupid but it is something made by a noob this evening when I was playing, fragging my ass ,and of course, himself making him to lose 6 points for such stupid method, I only suicide too when a bunch of enemies are near and allow me not to lose many points and when the doc carrier is near

Or I tap out when I don't want to bring the medic in trouble. Example: I am lying between 4 enemies, and a medic wants to revive me. If the situation is almost impossible for him to revive me and/or to survive ( as in my case, as in his case), I tap out for our own good.

On the surface it seems to make sense. But there are plenty of us "crazy medics" out there who appreciate the challenge of making the revive, then eliminating those enemies through teamwork. Tapping out just because there are enemies nearby is no excuse - that can get a medic killed just as quickly. I would rather get killed making the revive, especially since life expectancy in Wolf isn't very long as it is.

my solution to the panzer problem: Switch to "Panzer PARTY mode" :-)

That would be fun

hmm 4 panzer with 54 players seems not mutch but most of the time when i play their not that mutch people, i think it should be brouhgt back to 2 panzer @ each side, but if u guys can't deside between 2 or 4 than pick 3 ;)

Try 4 out of 64 not 54, and its 4 per side, I think its good cause you can usually get away from the trench camping ones. Stairmaster flamers are the real tards.

when the pansies try to get me while I am on the back of the boat. They get me every now and then, but not as often as I get them.

whats panzer party i need to know.

[Keekanoo]

The party panzer shoots a shell which explodes into ammo and health packs--with the rare grenade pack. The range is about 8 steps away from launch. Doesn't do damage. The packs disapear very quickly--I think in about 8 seconds.

2 is good

[A Hungry Croc]

I mentioned this idea in another thread, but in case anyone missed it...

Why not drop the splash damage from panzers, airstrikes, etc, and raise the damage from bullet impacts.
Example: Drax shoots me with a pistol, hits me twice, I drop. I do not keep advancing, firing all the way.
I would think this would be more realistic and lend the game a more chaotic nature. And chaos is what we all like, right?

Granted, I don't know if these changes can be made. That's up to you mammals to figure out.

i get panzered rarely. maybe 2-3 times per game... I HAVE NEVER SEEN 4 GOOD PPL W/ PANZERS ON 1 TEAM.. MAYBE 2 GOOD AND 2 NOOBS... this is ridiculous.... learn top jump and rn thru trenches and youll be fine...

It only takes getting hammered by the same person(s) at the same spot in the trenches for about 2 minutes to learn how to use the panzer that way. At any given time when anguish plays as an axis, I can see at least one axis with a panzer firing on the same spot at the trench corner. ( I know that I can go the other way )

And "" learn to jump and move thru the trenches " " lol for pete's sake , its a trench. Unless your neo and in the matrix u cant dodge a rocket with a blast radius equivalent to the size of a greyhound bus.

No offense Anguish, u r a good player. I enjoy watching u flying through the air trying to goomba people. I like to stop just before u land so u explode in front of me

This post is just to let u know that u r the only person that gets hit by the panzer 2-3 times per game.

I just love the noobs that see you and fire from a foot away and blow themselfs up and sometimes even miss...panzers and noobs don't mix.

[FAT TONY]

as i told keek yesterday "the amount of panzers isnt the problem" "its the skill level of the ones who use them" im now averaging about 100 kills a round as axis w/ panzer... even w/ 5 allies snipers... i have found how to rebound from initial sniper shoot to get a better shot... dont forgot you most likely die more times in basemnt/backstairs/wr from panzer then in the trenches... also knight rider get from bunker onto ground so you are no longer in treches.. sprint and jump to ladder... there yur thru the trenches... NOW LOOK TO YUR LEFT.. OOPS PANZER TO THE SKULL..... kkekekek... sorry no where is safe from me...
