The Return of the Twigs of Death.....

[panzerr]

Has anybody else noticed the incredible strength of the pine trees in today's patch?  It is next to impossible to travel thru the woods now, and it's reminiscent of AH1.  Prior to today's patch, a gv could slightly brush up against a tree and continue with no problem.  Now, the gv gets violently swung around and you're lucky if you don't flip.   

[Scca]

Yes, I too noticed this.  It seems the trees that have no low branches will stop your GV even if you are a vehicles width away.  I also almost was flipped over and was no where near the tree.  It's almost like all trees now have a 10 foot diameter area what prevents passage.

HTC, please take a drive through the woods and you will see what I mean.  It makes GV'ing intolerable. Please address soonest.

I have film to send in if it's necessary.

Its not the Trees with branches...Its the trees with the high trunks visible. You have to stay out of the shadows ( youll notice a dark ring around the trunk). If this keeps people from shooting through trees then I welcome it.

Yup, that's what I said.  I will look for the dark circles next log on.  That may help me steer clear of them better.

I am talking about the pine trees clustered in the woods.  Where there once were paths you could squeeze thru, there now exist deadly branches that spin you around or flip your tank.  It makes it nearly impossible to work your way thru the woods.

Yup this is no good, just flipped a panzer by brushing the outer edge of a pine tree.

I guess I dont care if its a really really strong branch.. lol.... but please dont allow it to flip a tank.

Im not having any problems with it. I've been driving through the tight woods as well as sitting under trees with high trunks without any ill effect.

[panzerr]

Yep - I've been able to sit beneath deciduous trees also, but the conifers are killers.  Skuzzy, please chime in on this. Can the pine's lethality be returned to pre-latest patch levels?

I wonder if it's map dependent?  I had the issue in the Titanic Tuesday and MW last night.

I know I am not the only one having this issue.  Some last night was on range crying about this issue to the point I squelched him.

you dont even  have to touch a tree to be stopped dead in your trax,  just moments ago, i flipped a tank , in the woods, nearest tree was maybe 20 feet away.

[Hamrhead]

I agree also, I'm used to being able to navigate my way through trees and then finding a nice spot.   Now, you can't even enter the woods without having a problem.   I was in a tiger earlier today and got so entangled in the trees, it started flipping and spinning me around, next thing I know I'm taking rounds and I'm in the tower because I can't even defend myself!!!!!    

[valdals]

i flipped twice. 

[wrongwayric]

Strapped angry beavers to front of all my gv's, problem solved.

[chrish483]

same here too, flipped twice in the woods by the map room on a VB looking for a M-3.
Ive also seen many people strugling with the trees and and tho it made them an easy target, it is frustrating.

[Marshal]

I have not had any problems in a tank with the trees, but when I was in an M-3 I tried to drive between 2 Pine trees and it stopped me in my tracks. I had to back up and go around.
