goodwood Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 It's a bit sad inf can't mount tanks like CMBO, not small dets of 2 soldiers can mount, an oversight or deliberate? Either way a bit of an oversight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 There was a decent thread about this only today but the short of it is that it happened so rarely in the combat environment that CM models that it was not worth prioritizing it as a feature. Come the East Front, this will change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodwood Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 My reply disappeared??? I tend to agree with you, however it is a quick way to get bocage busters sections into the fray quickly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMLE-Bloke Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I know the US and Germans didn't have tank desantnik infantry like the Soviets did, but still there are a hell of a lot of photos out there of American and British infantry riding tanks. It'd be nice to have just as a transport option, I could definitely see it being of use, imagine being able to tank ride some infantry up to the farm on the tutorial map for example or as said above quickly get pioneers to bocage they need to destroy.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe its too risky in the enviroment that CMBN battles depict. Catching a ride for 20 miles to a deployment zone, sure. But not riding to the front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneymaxx Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The other thread mentioned the effort/time this would require for programming and creating the animations. Time better spend elsewhere on more important features e.g. fire, AA guns etc. with which I agree btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hey Goodwood, it was my VERY first impression as well, but its not an option in CM:BN 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 From the last thread on this BF said it was on the list. I look forward to its return. I thought it was a great feature in cmx1, and am sure nobody complained it was there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
