Another thing that might work would be to have the tank be a vehicle. You assign the squad to it, then designate a location. The only change to the interface would be adding a "designate gunner" option in the "assign vehicle to squad" menu. The driver and gunner would not be present in the squad when you arrive on location, and conservatives would automatically be alarmed or at least suspicious. However, with the addition of a "begin bombardment" button to the "dungeon crawl" interface, you could start randomly setting blocks of tile on fire/destroying them in the building. Each additional shot would net juice and swayings of public opinion, with the caveat that swat would arrive twice as fast as usual. During the getaway segment, you'd have the option to fire the main gun and blow away whole cars.

The downside of this is that any squad with a tank attached would spawn heat OUT THE ASS.

In real life, someone stealing a tank is the sort of thing that prompts the millitary to send out a helicopter to blow the shit out of it if the police can't stop it on their own. So staying for too long in a site with a tank could result in a millitary helicopter showing up and slaughtering the squad.

It could also make it so that, not only are you raided almost immediately, but you WILL have soldiers, another tank, and bombers showing up.

[Neonivek]

There is an option...

We could let the game be silly and allow the player to take the Tank without any real punishment effect.

It could just find it impossible to run from police cars, yet have a very good gun to deal with them.

[GlyphGryph]

Ah, the GTA version of tank stealing. Get home safely and your fine, don't blow anything up and no-one cares until you do! ^_^

I mean, technically, if the laws were C++ for gun control, people should have the right to have their own tank, right? Second amendment, yo!

You've still got the problem of tearing any road you drive on all to hell.

Silly Strife, everyone knows roads are just another way to drain our Good American Tax Dollars by the Liberal Socialist Bastards infecting the government. No, there are no roads or traffic laws in C+. You get to act out The Road Warrior every time you drive somewhere.

A tank would just be like any other vehicle, only you can never outrun, or run out of pursuers. The liberal with the highest driving skill will drive, best science skill maybe will gun, leadership will TC and other liberals will ride outside or shoot out of hatches. Just do it automatically, like how it picks your best driver with any other vehicle to drive.

Should be noted that tanks just sitting around in a motor pool on a base or armory won't have any weapons or ammo on board. Maybe bringing your own weapons to install on the tank or stealing them from the base prior to stealing the tank would enable you do something besides drive around and run over parked cars.

This is probally the only conservative law i'd be okay with.

I'm not sure where people get the impression that tanks are slow. The M1 Abrams has a top speed of 45 MPH on roads and 33 MPH off road. While that's not fast enough to outrun most cars, it's also a tank. You can just run over anyone who's coming after you.

45 MPH is pretty slow compared to everything else that might chase after you, might outrun a bicycle cop, I suppose. Thing about tanks is they tend to throw/ break track driving around at high speeds and running over things, making sharp turns, hitting curbs at speed will throw the track off and then you'd be stuck.

Think of the guy that stole the M60 in San Deigo and how he threw track on the concrete highway barrier.

Yes, but he was operating under Real Physics, not Hollywoodian Physics. We all know which one LCS ascirbes to.

It's a squirrel!

a) Run it over!
b) Swerve wildly!

You charge forward!
The squirrel vanishes beneath the tank!
It is crushed under the tracks.
You lose heart.

The track comes off!
The squad leader angrily climbs out and shoots the squirrel.
You lose heart.

Clearly, the squad leader is Conservative Sleeper Scum, otherwise they would never harm a cute little rabies-infested tree-climbing rat. Wait...
