Correct the Wind effect on LVTs please
« on: January 20, 2009, 12:49:08 PM »
Please correct or eliminate the wind effect on LVTs, which render them useless in scenarios where we have ground level wind. We should always be able to use ground level wind, even in scenarios requiring LVTs, but right now it's an either or situation.

Thanks -
Easy in-game again.

Wind as a whole is an afterthought in this game. It is not realistic. It is just a plain path (a vector, or whatever you want to call it) that affects everything an anything the same way, regardless of ground friction, inertia, surface area it's hitting, etc.

It ought to never be used in scenarios, IMO, because it doesn't work properly.

If it could be upgraded to be more realistic, I'd definitely like that.
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.
