Jeep Kills Tiger

[Simaril]

HT has said in the past that collisions would be an absolute nightmare in the tank war. If I recall, the main differnce is that the tank collisions are much more than the qucik flash of contact, and the presence of internet lag could result in "clipping violations" where tank parts would exist inside other tanks with no end of coding problems ensuing.

Not to mention the mass and armor effects of collisions, an entirely new chunk of calculations and coding.

very true, maybe even make them stop at the armor

Vehicles can't have the same properties as objects which we can collide with?

ever rammed into a object with a tiger..if ur not paying attention and keep trying to go forward u get shot back/up at warp speed,well that happens to me:confused:

Nope Ht said someplace it would do strange things.

like get stuck together or bounce off at high speeds.

Simple solution don't let the little buggers near you.

Thats my favorite thing to do, don't take it away!  Jeep kills are always satisfying.  NO ONE IS SAFE

It's not a simple solution, a jeep can outrun a tiger, and you can't turn the Tigers turret fast enough to keep up with it at close range, not to mention it's such a small target.

If they could somehow code it where the GV's cannot take hits from the inside it would eliminate the problem.

But it is a simple solution . Kill the little bugger from the commanders position.
Jeeps die fast to rifle rounds. Only way he gets you is YOU let him get so close you can't get enough down angle from that gun.

 Just one spot that can't be covered from the commander spot.  Once moving use steering input to keep the bastage out of it.

Any time I'm in a tiger and I hear a jeep I immediately start up and start moving.

I then jump to commanders position and scan. Once I kill the little bugger return to my spot and start all over.

 This is the best unintentional bug ever.

Keep lazy spawn camper on their toes or they get spanked.

     Pintle MGs work just fine on jeeps.

If all else fails, check the roster to see if I'm online. I love killing jeeps, but  I don't get to kill nearly as many as I'd like.

I've been on both sides of this, and given the alternative of being glued together or flying apart like a split atom, I'm not sure this is bad enough to warrant a change. I'd rather have to take my chances with the tankjackers,  then have to hold on to my desk for dear life as I suddenly accelerate to ludicrous speed when a jeep careens into me.

Come to think of it, that might be a little more exciting.

coding would work....keeping the tiger on their toes is nice.....ill kill jeep any day

[Wes14]

yea killing tigers with jeeps aint noobish by my books..its noobish of the tiger to not notice/care of that annoying jeep:noid

if tiger drivers r stupid enought to let jeeps get that close they might as well try to catch falling bombs,and that would be a sight to see:rolleyes:

I if remember correctly from a conversation long ago -

If they enabled vehicle collisions a few weird side effects can happen because of lag and the fact that compared to aircraft GV's are way slow -

a) They could actually lock together partially inside each other - not good
b) They could bounce and fly apart at warp speed - not good

we should do somthin though......

how abut you look when u hear the familar jeep sound with your pintle gun, locate him and turn him into swiss cheese

we dont need to add to the already Bs'ness to the game by making jeeps ram into tigers and the tiger flys across the map
