offline practice

[jdubya]

Is it possible to make armor clones killable in the same way infantry clones are? With the ability to make clones to shoot at for practice by simply hitting the space bar offline practice/testing is much improved. If we could have armor clones able to be killed by guns or sapping, one could easily train himself with sap charges, atr's, tank against tank, etc. I know we have the training server, but it's not always easy to find someone to go there with you. If it could be done on the offline practice one could go there by himself and learn all the kill shots and sap spots, effectively training himself in that area.

Could that be something on some future patch, or is it even doable?

Awesome Idea!!!

That would be better than nothing, but what would be really useful is a true armor firing range with bot enemy tanks moving at combat speeds. Maybe something like the sled targets shown in

It takes a long time (longer than it should) to get familiar enough with ETs in this game to develop some proficiency in estimating range, speed and required lead. Then you still have to know where to hit for each type, all of which could be worked out through repetition and experimentation offline if the tools were available.

Keep this Thread alive I wont this badly I always thought there was a command hidden somewhere in offline practice that would turn damage model on, It makes no sense that you cant really practice

I was going to start a thread about this but, found yours. Would love to have killable armor clones in offline so i can hone my sapping and atr skills.

We have a request ticket for this. It would also immensely help out testing however there is no entity to run that physics in the client at present.

I agree damage would be great. However it would be great if the drones would move....even if they continued on the same path as created....or could have a default path to follow. I would love to have Enemy Air that (even if they cannot be destroyed) would at least fly so that I can practice leading targets.. and practice gunnery.
