Sadly no.
Turning the back of a vehicle towards the enemy in a
firefight can really, really hurt.

totola: this subject has been discussed many times on this forum. Unfortunately nothing can and will be done on this subject due to the limitations of the "game engine". I hope this clears things up a little. I and many others also would have liked this feature but......... :( :cool:

totola, about the only thing you can do (once) is hit "D" to pop your smoke dischargers, if so equipped, and turn and run!

Well, not so much a Giants fan as a friend of a Giant's fan.

Long story made short, ..... support for a buddy.

A �reverse gear� would cut the movement so greatly that it would be useful only in limited situations. If you�re in high movement cost terrain (snow, shallow water/swamp, thunderstorms) it cuts the movement hexes available drastically ([I]NOTE[/I]:except French tanks, which have multiple �reverse� gears ;)). I�d imagine �reverse� in those conditions would get you a hex at best IMO.

In other conditions, it might be beneficial to keep backing up (however slowly) if you�ve got heavier armor than the AT guns/AFV�s shooting at you can penetrate. I�d trade more suppression, more chance for track damage or artillery strikes for not giving the enemy a shot at my soft bum in situations like that.

It�d be beneficial in those instances I�d guess, but what�s the cost in terms of coding/programming time for this benefit?
