Temporary information layout until I have enough time for formatting and get sent the rest of the info:

Your pride and joy as a tank crewman is your tank, though at the start of each operation it'll be in disrepair. 64.px


Round Start:

  • Ask the Mt's to repair(Crowbar/Weld) the tanks modules.
  • While the Mt's are repairing the tank go and fetch the armor, treads and main gun from the Almayer Armor Storage, located directly south of where you spawned.File:Almayer Armor Storage.png

The Tank Operators

Work in progress.

Role: Description:
The Driver Drives the tank. You are only able to move the tank backwards or forwards of where you are facing. You must rotate the tank clockwise or counter-clockwise in order to turn.
The Gunner Utilises the support, secondary and main armaments of the tank. Be wise though, the tank only fires in a 45 degree angle, which means the tank must always be turning.
Driving the Tank: Description:
Tank Movement.png The Green highlighted areas are places you can rotate the tank to. You are able to do so by heading into the Object tab and clicking the verb Rotate Vehicle Clockwise/Counterclockwise or by rightclicking the tank, which will pop open a dropdown menu. Additionally you can create a macro for these functions with the below verbs:
  • Rotate-Vehicle-Clockwise
  • Rotate-Vehicle-Counterclockwise
Forwards and Backwards.png The arrows show that the tank can only move in those directions. They can move East and West. The controls correspond with the arrow keys or the WASD keys if you are in hotkey mode.
File:Obstructed Movement.png Areas highlighted in orange means that the tank is not able to move. The object must either be removed or destroyed in order for the tank to rotate.
Using the armaments: Description:
Switching the tank's weapons In order to change the weapon your are currently using. You must click on the Object tab and click Change Active Weapon. A menu will open, allowing you to select from Primary, Secondary and Support if you have them installed on the tank.

The Tank is manned by two crewmen, the driver and the gunner. Both are responsible for the operation of a tank. The driver, as the name implies, drives the tank. They must turn the tank clockwise or counter-clockwise in order to move in different directions. You are only able to move backwards and forwards from where you're facing.

The gunner operates the primary and secondary armaments of the tank.


The Tank

Tank: Description:
64.px
M34A2 Longstreet light tank
A light but very modular tank, which may house an array of attachments, allowing it to be an effective, well-rounded armored vehicle. You can enter the tank via the back of it.

The main beast you'll be driving and using on the battlefield. But she ain't ready just yet! At the start of the round, she'll be in pretty bad shape. That's where the Maintenance Technicians come in and repair it. They and the Chief Engineer are the only personnel capable of performing repairs and replacing parts of the tank.

Problem: Repairing and Replacing:
64.px
Broken M34A2 Longstreet light tank
The broken tank. It's useless without any proper armament, although it can just barely move with broken or no treads. It'll take a lot of work just to fix it, and you'll the spare parts and the properly trained people to do so. The replacement parts are costly, you better make sure they don't go to waste!
Primary Armament Slot Use a Crowbar to uninstall it and a Blowtorch to fix. Any minor damage can be fixed with a Blowtorch.
Secondary Armanet Slot Use a Crowbar to uninstall it and a Wrench to fix. Any minor damage can be fixed with a Blowtorch.
Support Slot Use a Crowbar to uninstall it and a Wrench to fix. Any minor damage can be fixed with a Blowtorch.
Treads Use a Crowbar to uninstall it and install new treads to replace the old ones. Any minor damage can be fixed with a Blowtorch.
Armor Use a Crowbar to uninstall the armor if damaged beyond repair or if you want to install a different type. Use a welder to repair.
