Very nice river.  I wonder how long it will be after release before some M18 driver finds out how well M18s don't float.  :p

Would a PT Boat be able to navigate that?

Another question is will there be shallow points on the river where vehicles would be able to ford?

The tree tries are counted differently.

They use 979262 tries per frame.  Note that includes all draws of the tries including shadows and reflection requiring multiple passes

A bridge leading to town!  What a fantastic choke point to create an epic tank (or combined arms) battle over an actual strategic objective.  Imagine that!

Will the bridge be destructible?

Looking VERY good HTC.

Yeah I saw it, but thought it would be a nice little feature if there were some shallow points to allow fording.
