Sand turns to water

[opposum]

apparently the low end PC players get the short straw and have to "guess where the water is" because their computer can't handle the high end graphics,

well I am one of those players and and lets just say it sucks!

I do recall when I flew w/o detailed terrain/water, the "beach" did extend out a little ways, for instance at a port, the port looked like a dry dock.

Keep in mind the new terrain has shallows, now, rather than an abrupt transition from water to land.

I wish the Cv task forces knew that.

I ignore the sand and choose solid land.

did you reduce your tire pressure ? it works best for sandy terrains 

On topic it happened to my squaddie SD67 with a goon also

Lol, A while ago, I landed a goon near a GV battle. I was 1k from the nearest enemy tank. I forgot to record it, I even made it off the ground!!!!

Question,
Would it be wise to land a plane on a Beach in real life?

Nope, but, as FYB put it, we were on one of our ub3r spy missions and had to pick up inflitrators. We used a B26 because they were carrying samples of enemy radar equipment, blueprints for lazer guided munitions, and blueprints and operation manuels for that nazi uber tank. The one with the 105 mm gun in addition to those two 250mm cosal guns.

Yup!

We had to have an LVT come pick up the equipment and blueprints and such, then carry it up onto land, where we called a B26 flown our CO TheAce, which then proceded to pick up the equipment, the infiltraters, and the humiliated FYB and I. Thanks to the escepades of FYB and myself, the Knights no longer shall pose any threat what so ever, once more.

Exactly!

I play on low detail mode and when detailed water is turned off, the sand/beaches look very large but as OP mentions this is in fact the shallow water.  When I turn detailed water on, the shoreline fixes itself.

The point isn't that we were stupid enough to try and land a bomber in the middle of a battle, but rather that this seems like a pretty serious flaw to GV'ers. When defending against CV attacks, I pull a tank out onto the beach so I can attack the LVT's as fast as I can. I know something like 100 yds seems like small change, but that is enough to let me see the carrier burning off shore. I have several screenshots of it lurking on my computer some where.
