Armoured Commander is not your daily roguelike, instead you play as a tank commander in WWII....altough it is in its early development stage (alpha), it already makes fun.

[Oirestel]

It's not actually bad. I dislike how pivoting takes a full action slot instead of just offering a firing penalty. Otherwise good, just a little repetitive at the moment.

[Xardalas]

A lot better than I thought it would of been honestly.  It's been pretty fun so far!

[Oirestel]

I'm not sure the RoF boosting perks are balanced though... I mean, multiple shots uninterrupted in a single turn? 0.o And with the Asst Driver doing his help reload job or whatever, that's a bonus, he can trait into RoF, Plus Gunner, maybe loader... And then Commander has a trait to boost other trait activation.

tl;dr RoF spec OP nerf plz. :p

When do I get to choose perks? I notice my guys are leveling up, but I've heard nothing about perks.

what's HCBI? (and I understand WP is incendiary, is that right?)

Not HEAT. But I seem to have immobilized something.

I remember an old MUD wich was kinda based on mechwarrior style coding but was more during a modern war and had that kind of graphics, i miss it greatly .

[Cthulhu]

HCBI (Something something whatever) is a smoke round.  WP (White phosphorous) is also a smoke round but will kill people if they're exposed to it.

[Sensei]

I almost never use smoke. It mostly just seems to accomplish making enemies impossible to hit. Does it prevent them from shooting as well?

Also, what the hell: my loader just got severely injured after surviving the operational kill intact, and passing a bailout roll.

Irl tanks used WP rounds to scare enemies out of their tanks but that's probably not simulated..

WP rounds could be used to attack exposed infantry but again I dunno if you can actually do that yet, it's in alpha.  A more realistic use of smoke could be to lay down a screen for advancing, either directly on them or in the way.  I dunno if you can drop smoke on specific hexes though.

The smoke mortar always drops the smoke in the tile in front of the tank.

In what situation am I supposed to close the hatches?

[Xardalas]

In what situation am I supposed to close the hatches?

Infantry close to your tank. Or having them fire upon you.

[Sensei]

When you're exposed to artillery or machinegun fire. Otherwise your crew is vulnerable.
