Graphical bug with tanks and hills.
« on: August 12, 2011, 05:41:19 PM »
I've found a graphical bug with tanks and hills. Whenever there is a tank sitting behind a hill out of your visual range, sometimes you can see a small black line showing where the tank is when you start approaching the hill.

I do have a film of the bug, but I do not know how to post it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ace

Did you try shooting that black line to see if you could hit the tank?

this has been a long standing bug where you can see the bottom of the tank through the hills but only visually not physically shoot it.

No, don't fix it, then I won't be able to game the game and know where he is before I can actually see him  :O!!!!


Lol, Jk. This bug has been around for a long time. Please fix this, it has cost me many tanks to dweebs that immediatly train their guns on the hill.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

I think this is related to the earlier reported bug... seeing base details through the ground.  Basically if you're on higher ground than a base in front of you you can see the outline of the runways, etc through the ground between you and the base.
