Question on galaxys

Ok, what if there was a transport craft specifically designed to carry one large tank. Like a big helocopter that carrys the tank under it via some huge cables or something. That way you could move tanks via air if you wanted but it would require more people and and the tank transports would have no guns on them.

It would still take away the ground combat aspect of the game which the devs want to include. Already there is a lot of air combat due to the important role of galaxies, if tanks didn't use the ground to get from base to base then PS would become an aerial combat game.

Well maybee the miniguns you see on the usual military helicopters dont but the miniguns carried by aircraft can take out tanks very easily especialy the one carried by the a-10 warthog

[Strijder]

er... that's not exactly a mini-gun on the A-10 The aircraft's built around it, not vice versa.

[Cyanide]

Yeah, that's a fully auto dual 50-calliber with AP bullets on an A-10. Nothing much mini about that.

[shodan]

The chain-cannon on the front of an A-10 fires shells roughly the size of a 1-pint milkbottle. The sheer size, speed and weight of the shell batters the be'jesus out of a tank

[Chryse]

The cannon on the A-10 Warthog is an oversized gatling gun with 6 rotating barrels, not 2, and it spits out 30mm depleted uranium rounds, not .50-cal.

Having the galaxy able to transport a tank, in addition to screwing with game mechanics, would also not be realistic.

Tanks are many things. Firstly, they are REALLY HEAVY. The real life C-5 Galaxy, 5-7 times larger than the Planetside Galaxy, can only hold about 2 M-1 MBTs. They simply weigh too much to hold any more.

can we stop comparing PS to real life? I mean, PS is like 200 years in the future!
