That would look pretty bad, though, one shell taking down an entire grove of trees (HE round or a 1000lb bomb might, but a small bomb or AP shell?). Further, even if you break those 30 trees per sq. mile down to 5-6 blocks of trees, you're still looking at a MASSIVE number of objects to track the status of.

What if we had 2-3 designated "Tanker" areas of the map? This way, we don't have to track ALL of the trees on a map, just 10-15 groups per area, around where fights would take place?

Just throwing an idea out there.

Karnak speaks the truth boobs........... Think about it....... Even if we had the infrastructure for managing trees.......Day 5 of the same map, all the trees would be gone. 

Being able to destroy trees would be a nice feature, it isn't that us naysayers don't want it.

The problem is that there are too many trees for the server to track a destroyed/not destroyed flag for them.  It is a technical limitation.

Hey, I like a component of this thread.  Transparency.  Why can field guns shoot through trees and hit me when I cant even see much less fire back at them.  the only thing that will stop me from being hit by a auto gun is a mound.  I suppose though, if they were "transparent to weapons" they would probably have to be to the data that is your vehicle and you would have guys driving full bore through forrests instead of being canalized by the trees.... thoughts?
