Roll Over Advisory - Tanks

Perk the trees!

That was one of the problems I didn't like when version 1.999995b or whatever was out.  Seems to me that in a confrontation between a tank and a tree...the tree would come out the loser.

fighters are more important in Suicide high lately, so i doubt the GVs will get fixed

That isn't exactly fair I think.

I do agree that the fighters and bombers are of a higher priority than the GVs seem to be, but to say that the GV issues will never be fixed seems a bit extreme.  

Besides.. they can't fix what they don't know is wrong.. so threads like these are useful I think.

Plus they let the players know to avoid trees.. I don't really know what speed to avoid em at, because something I hit em and I'm flying along at 50 mph in an M8 and just stop... and sometimes I'm going 2 mph in a Panzer IV in first gear and nudge a tree and go flying...

Maybe if someone could figure out the parameters (speed of collision, angle of collision, etc) for the fluber tree collisions it would be quicker & easier for HT to fix it.

Watch where you're going and you won't have this problem.

Don't you people have driver's licenses?

so you think a tank would roll over on a 20 degree hill? :rolleyes:

If you keep pushing your stick during collision with obstacle (e.g. tree) - you in trouble. If not your tank just stop. Never drive in first gear through forest.

It is just my impression that it would/did take a HELL of a lot to actually flip any US/German/Soviet tank under most any circumstances.  Super low center of gravity and very wide wheel base.
