LOL...you need to tell that to Dale ;)

Only problem I have is that the green is too intense. Everything else is an improvment. Now if the towns were only 4X larger, the field guns 10X harder to kill and about 2X as many FHs then I'd be happier still.

I agree, the green is a bit much, and watch out driving tanks on the beaches.  They seem to sink quickly.

ok guys lets not get into a bash war.. The topic was meant to be constructive.

Lets quit bashing HT as they did just release a big update, which is what most of us want.

Then the guys that post just to bash the people complaining just to tell them they are whiners.. Well guess what you're whining too so get over it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now to the important business at t hand the game update..

I personally like the update, I just wanted to make HT aware that the grass texture bothers myself and a several other players. I think it's the lack of "depth" that screws with the eyes.

Also on the darkness I noticed that I can set my gamma so it's acceptable but then it has other effects.

1) It tends to change the GV model's to more of a "white" look, so they are much easier to spot and IMO kinda a built in cheat.  Needs to be fixed for the fairness in the game.

2) The other thing is if you happen to alt tab out of the game, you come back in to the original "dark gamma" and have to re-set it under options. (didn't do this b4)


The other deal is overall I like the new ground layouts with the new trees and hedge rows and so on, makes GV vs GV battles a lot more fun.  However most of the ground is very baron and lacks enough places to hide from enemy planes.

IL2's can now have a field day on GV's attacking a base because there is no place at all the hide from planes. At least in the past we have some cover even though it wasn't much. Much less try to sneak a M3 with troops into a heavily defended base.

One other issue that I've noticed is I now find myself having to switch from Vis mode 1 to vis mode 3 quite a bit.. I never had to do that in the past, I just set up for close range and could still see things far off  or close up, with no issues.
