If the hills were put back you could still gun and run.  You'd just also have the choice of hull down.  In fact the hills would help gun and run as they would protect you occasionally.  Hull down does not necessarily equate with camping, or even with defensive posture.  You can leap frog from one hull down position to a forward one.

They will return, when I was writing the new terrain engine I ran into a snag with the small hills making them look correctly with the terrain texturing on the hills. At the time we were knee deep in just getting the new system sorted out, so I put that feature on hold. I have the system worked out how to handle them in my head now, so they will return.

I am bringing this thread back up. I was a bit disappointed it was not re implemented in the new patch but would still like this.

Funny thing about the trees and bushes, or any object for that matter...before it's rendered on your screen it doesn't stop bullets...when you're sitting in a patch of trees and someone from a long distance gets a hit on you, they don't see the trees on their screen and something in the code says if you don't see them, they don't exist...what's really puzzling is if the foliage the tank is hiding in isn't visible because of distance or angle or whatever, why is the tank visible?
