I propose to implement Special Function and Fire Mode keys for a tank, to add the headlights, turret light and brakelights, to add the openable gunner hatch with player model and to add machine gun overheating feature
(if very long time firing).
Driver position controls:
Primary Fire: Fire Cannon
Secondary Fire: Zoom
Special: Turn on/off headlights and turret light
Fire Modes: Double Barrel Shot, Single Barrel Shot
Gunner position controls:
Primary Fire: Fire Machine Gun
Secondary Fire: Zoom (if gunner sits inside the tank)
Special: Close hatch and switch to remote gun control / Open hatch and control gun manualy
Fire Modes: Full Auto, Burst Fire, Semi-Auto Fire
This are photoshoped illustrations for proposed features:
The gunner hatch (opens/closes by Special Function key of gunner place).
1. If the hatch open the m.gun turn speed is fast (because it turned by hands) but gunner can be damaged or be killed and can't use zoom function (because he uses his own eyes).
2. If the hatch closed the gunner controls weapon with remote control inside of the tank. Turn speed of the machine gun is slow (because it turns by small remote controled engines) and zoom function are enabled (because gunner uses tank vision device).
The headlights and the turret light (turns with turret for searching the targets in dark maps). By driver Special Function key all this lights can be turned off for hiding in dark areas or can be turned on.
The current tank model has the brakelights but it does not work. It is logicaly to make this lights working like in other UT vehicles.
