First, I know that state this idea in this game state is almost useless. But I still describe my idea, please hear and let me know your opinion.
1. Introduction
As you know, abandon mechanic currently leave for RNGod to decide, which is kind of bad. But, to remove abandon is terrible option, because we all know we love it when we capture a tiger with allies, or a stuart with axis.
Now I think of a way to reduce rng completely, while still punish bad player.
2. New mechanic: two health bars
In addition to current tank health bar, a crew health bar is added with the same value as tank health bar. When the tank lose all its tank health, it will receive death critical. But if the crew health depleted? The tank go abandon!
3. Apply damage to each health bar
Now, for AP round, it will damage the tank as current state, but only deal around 40% to the crew. So when the tank keep receiving AP round, it will die normally. But, what if the tank does not die and repair back to full state? Its crew is still injured! Use above twice or more risk player to abandon the tank.
The explosive round, before, it was useless against tank, but now will deal damage to the crew inside(of course, it's still take very long to make a tank abandon with HE round). AT grenade, mortar, artillery and tank with HE round can pose minimal threat against tank.
4. Restore each health bar
To repair the tank, we use engineer as usual, but to heal the crew, we have to leave the tank at base! Player will have to decide to temporary not use that tank for a while or risk to face consequence. Field repair is no longer a no-brainer decision anymore.
5. Conclusion
If this mechanic is implemented, now you can control whenever your tank will die or abandon. No more frustrating when your tank suddenly go to enemy hand because of RNG.
So how is it? Is there anything you don't understand with my idea? Feel free to elaborate or comment.
Edit: Oh no, I forget the poll...
