Convoy

[GlassJaw]

So I'm landing my 163 when I get waxed by a base resupply convoy that drives across the air strip at about 100 mph.  Did we really intend to use these convoys to make landing more "sporting"?  Maybe we can either turn off collisions with them or change their pathing.   Turning off the collisions seems to be the better idea... not very realistic for a road convoy to run over a tank either.

Not sure what to do about them flipping tanks, but as far as truck convoys and barges driving onto base I'll assume the issue will be addressed along with the new terrain update that we're getting.

I don't know, but I think the old "watch where your going" rule might help you out here

It's not quite that easy Fugitive.  On some fields the convoys actually run parallel to the RW for a moment, then zig zag back and forth across it.  Just a couple days ago I rolled a K4 out of the FH and as soon as I cleared the doors got vulched by our trucks.  Another time I was rolling a 163, well into my takeoff roll and saw the convoy on a collision course with me.  I was going to fast to stop so I dumped a notch of flaps and yanked back on the stick.  It was only due to luck I survived as I actually flew between the trucks.

This was previously addressed, bur apparently the same thing is happening again

Ya I think it has something to do with base placement. Some are rotated but the supply lines are not, or visa-versa.

That was my convoy didn't want you landing your 163. I gave them NITRO

Yep, another bug I hate.  I spawned onto a runway one day on auto-takeoff, looked away for just a second and as I turned back... wham!  Into a convoy with my perk ride!

I think you're on to something here.  The "flying" convoys appear to be following a road with a bridge and the bridge isnt on the terrain but they still make the rise and down slope.

It's funny!!  once I spawned a Tempest and the convoy pawned me big time!   
couldnt stop laughing.. Dont change it pls!

looks like the convoy aim for the perk rides 

ahah I like the convoy-o-death

I like the one were the cv turns and the mast from the other ship cuts thru the deck and kills you.

[frank3]

Lolol that's one way to lose your expensive F4U-4

[haasehole]

 i've had convoy smack my c-47 as i was landing @ eny base and some squadie's have lose a couple perkie rides on RW due to convoy it sucks but we've learn that lesson the hard way stay out of there way if friendly of kill em if eny   

[Rattler]

Yea i tested this ..in a way.But yea i was landing my 51 and once i got it on the ground the trucks went across the RW and killed me......Then while i was trying to ressup a base i saw the convoy heading straight for me,i wanted to test this so, i stopped and the trucks hit me.I found my self about 20 ft in the air then hitting the ground.    I hope HT can fix this problem  HTC great game

Had just re-armed a single AR 234 once and was lining up just past the end of the runway to take off again and got flipped over by the trucks, and had to take a ditch.  Yeah, that was many months ago.  I'd really like to see the truck thing fixed.  Had a truck convoy pass over the runway the other night when I was taking off in a 262.  It was like half the runway away from me when it passed, but that still shouldn't be happening.
