    Yes, but not with 1x25 armament mixer.

    Last tod we lost small field CAP using 4x typhoon w/rocks & bombs.
    Half map long flight, field closed, but 1 hmack come. It outmaneuver all rockets & bombs, and shoot down every 4 tiffies while they nailing him 20'mm hispanos.
    Guy was called "ukrain".
    You think its funny?

    Armored, mobile & extreme powerful.
    One if this skills must be dropped, will you agree?

    the problem is that one jeep can easily kill 7-8 attacking cons...
    with HVAR/Wfr.Gr.21 is not jeep problem, but 2/3 of the TOD are jabos terrible :confused:

    the win is not about total numbers of the kills or streaks but about all flds on one side, 99% of the pilots are light fighters- why? because jabos are too hard with 25mm jeeps- jabo without rox=99% death now...

    issue 1 can be fixed or reduced if command which allow to change direction immediately will removed and turn possibility will limited up to ~10-15 degs at one time with limited number of such commands per second.
    I dont think it possible to forbid shooting while moving.

    2x12 (1x12 would be better) and restriction of number of jeeps/field. And jeeps should be able to be killed with 1x7. Other than that, we should loose the word "jeep" and name them "halftrack"s.

    There's a slight difference....

    airfax, u gave me an idea for a new proposition:

    .tank = tank
    .hmack = 1x40mm with low rate of fire
    .jeep = 1x12mm for low alt def and killing paras

    Good idea, but "forbit shootining" is easier to implement IMHO
    I guess it can be done within WB protocol limitation by several ways (e.g.: 1st way: disable gun while .mov was set to server and enable gun after .stop; 2nd way: stop receiving hits from FE after .mov and enable count hits after .stop; etc...) But it's possible -Aike- has no time to implement any.

    IMO 40mm gun as human conntrolled AAA should be stationery. I mean that 40mm is a big fuckin gun to put on any vehicle other than tank.

    But easiest solution would be to limit the jeeps availeable at field, like mixer suggested (and Hohun a long time ago, AFAIR).

    I voted 2x12mm, but even 4x12mm would be better than the current

    4x12mm or 2x12mm, even 1x20mm (MGFF for example :p) with number limits on field, and reduced armor

    dream on...

    as far as i know, these hits are counted. but you need to hit three different parts of the jeep. so maybe you have to engage from different sides.
    at the moment, i think, killing jeeps with rox and bombs is an tactical improvement. i just want more pilots in the sky (flighttime must be much higher, than jeeptime).

    The best idea (imo of course) was that one:

    Give us a possibility to choice a jeep! But no that 25 fucking bastards. I would like to see:

    .jeep - 4 x 12 (but 8 x 7 wolud be more funny :rolleyes: )
    .hmack - 1 x 40, slow rate of fire
    .whatever - 1 x 88, to big-gun-maniacks

    And kick off that 25 mm monster from arena, of course :nono:

    Not admins - Siberrians don't want it (vide poll results) and that's enough for Admins.
