idea for gunners

[Viper]

now when the tank top gunners die, you repair the tank and they come back to life again.....unrealistic.

the idea....when the tank gunner dies, free upgrade will appear.
it will be possible to upgrade only next to HQ buildings or ammo & transporter trucks.
more like "reinforcing" but for free.

any thoughts welcome.

Well not really, the gunner add more options to some tanks who really need it, removing this option by making it more dificult to recrew the gunner would nerf these units a bit too much imho.

I can see how that is so much more realistic

"Sir, Pvt. Litoris got hit!"
"What? The bastatds got Mike?!?!"
"Yes, sir."
"Nevermind, drive to that ammo truck over there, they have stockpiles of gunners!"

it is sometimes easier to drive your tank back to base or bring a transporter truck nearby than to bring engineers to the front line just to revive gunner.

what about hq buildings and transporter trucks?
ammo trucks would still be more realistic than "repairing" your gunner. maybe there is extra soldier in the truck.
in reality goal of ammo truck is to supply tanks. not just with ammo but with everything.
ammo trucks often loaded extra fuel barrels too.

Same thing, using trucks or the base will increase the micro and the cost of the unit, i see the general idea, but it is not necessary.

You dont push the idea to the end.

Top tank gunners are unrealistic. It exist only when tank are on road to the front line for AA purpose. In combat situation all men are inside the tank and all hatches are closed... So remove all top tank gunner bc at game you re always considered on the front line.

Correct if we are talking about realism.
