Make it ALWAYS possible to jump out of a tank
This isn't a parkour game - its tank repairs. It should never be a situation, no matter the state of the tank, that you can't jump to get out from standing inside the hull somewhere.

With the damn sherman collection, most of them will leave you stuck inside if there aren't the right parts inside the hull. You simply have no way to jump high enough to get out.

And With the late sherman, I just got stuck in a spot where it was IMPOSSIBLE to get out. Go to loader position, then exit - drops you in middle of hull. Go to driver, then exit - drops you in middle of hull. And always impossible to jump out.

I really don't give a rip about the "realistic" jump height. If I wanted to do an obstacle course, I'd go pay a game like that...

Open the wheel and reset your position its not that difficult.

i know, but why must it be like that, how hard cant it be to make it easyer to get out, it has been like this since day one.

Except for this specific tank - reset your position puts you right back on top of where the turret would be. If its not there, you land right back inside the tank - where you can't jump out of.

And the Reset Your Position - this takes 15+ seconds - to do something i should be able to do routinely??

So yes, it is difficult to have to reset regularly.

It is not that difficult to either implement double jump, or make jump go higher so that you always can get out...

Use get Inside - loader or gunner and then exit the vehicle. Only takes a few secons compared to the 15+ seconds loading time while using reset position.

This, as explicitly stated above, does not work for the sherman (late) model.

Doing this drops you right back into the tank hull. From which you can not exit.

Checked your claim, found your claim to be correct. ^^

Quick workaround - enter gunner seat, click from inside on the turret stand, mount turret on tank. exit tank and you stay on top of the turret without falling into the tank.

You could also use the escape hatch. I use that all the time to get out of the tanks quick.

Consistency between the tanks in the DLC could be better. Some parts that need replacment on one tank can be repaired on another one. Most likely the tanks were created by different people and each developer did things a bit different.

Feel like what work for me is pressing spacebar + ctrl at the same time, jump and crouch like in many FPS, especially in the Sherman variants.

Isn´t there some .ini to edit?

Anyone with knowledge of Unity?

Adjust the jump height in the options. Set it to the highest setting. You will be able to jump out of the Sherman.

Give this man a cigar or commendation or whatever the hell he wants! I have blood pressure problems and the way things were going, SG_Stoves9 might well have just saved my unworthy life. Well done the Devs too for making provision in the Game Settings.
