Having a whitelisted "crewman" role could be cool

They are actually very balanced. The difference is ya get marines who think they can rambo a xeno and when they die, they get all salty about it.Mizari 10/12/2018, Xeno mutators

Even a mere APC would be epic. The Marines having some armour would be one hell of a thing to see.

Yeah. I'd definitely suggest a whitelist role for using the tank. Last thing we need is a random marine jumping in and deciding that the only way to prevent the ayys from killing marines is killing the marines before the ayys get to them with a fucking TANK.

People pushed for boonie hats so the devs pushed the tank update out of a window.

I'm still waiting for the crewing tobacco update. It's like the devs don't want realism in CM. In real life no marine can be seen without a Gatorade bottle half filled with a brackish brown liquid and a lump in a lower lip.

If I were to hazard a guess. The devs were busy dealing with the whole code issue following Lady Alamo devouring marines and other issues.

If I am right once all the bugs from that patch are resolved they will start adding updates until something breaks again.

I would genuinely adore a tank or APC. Marines need some kind of support armor to fit the theme. Mechanized infantry is such an important part of our armed forces and it fits in the universe pretty well.

What I think we need is combatized mechs. It would be easier to bring them to the battlefield via Alamo, and we can have a crewmember for it that starts out with one, and there are different kinds of types, kinda like specialists, with one have explosive, another flame, maybe a long range or something. I don't know how they would get the tank down there because it is so big, so this is just my thoughts.

You know, everyone keeps talking about wanting new guns and weapons but we never talk about something cool like new armor types, I think it'd be really cool to choose between different armor types or being able to order some special armor from cargo.

Make it so MTs can build it and move it to the DS, and make it so that they can order the parts at Req. At least that'd be something else for them to do.

Hmmm tanks or new updates for specialists?
Our maps so small for tanks actions and it's one of problems here. Maybe they're mapping new map for tanks or something like that? Not so easy. I still think that April's test wasn't just big meme-joke for us, ha.

About specialists, RPG kit needs a bit more buffs, like sniper or B18. But I think it's not big problem. Those two kits (Snipa and RPG) still not actual in the game...

I think we need wait another few months for tanks update, but I hope they'll add them. Because that update will add more functional for our great game. And more meme FF.

EDIT: Hmmm, what about new marine class. New type of soldier like Smartgunner in every squad. 32mm cannon. But it's just dreams, heh.

A part of me feels like it would be a waste of all that code making the tank was just tossed out after a single day.

Then again, balancing the game around a tank would be BRUTAL. Xenos would either need a new caste to combat it, or some heavy buffs to compensate.

Either that, or they nerf the tank into the ground and make it unpopular. Whatever works.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

If the tank is introduced, the Marine meta will take a HUGE change. Which is nice, as new strategies will be focused on using the tank as much as possible and to also protect it.

I just want the tank crew uniform, get a helmet, place some googles and get those Desert Storm vibes.
