LVT's being extremely hard to make land
« on: September 24, 2011, 12:27:29 AM »
I don't know if it's a terrain bug or what but getting LVT's on shore last night around the southern V bases was extremely difficult. Others had the same problem.

How would you describe the difficulty? was it slow to get them to move through the water or hard to get them to climb out onto shore?

I had the same problem too. The CV was close enough to spawn feet dry and the LVT would roll full speed ahead for a bit. Then it was like it hit an invisible wall. Big Rat and I tried over and over again to get going with no luck. Big Rat finally got his going, but I couldn't get unstuck.

They would get to the shoreline just fine except for the last 10-15 ft.  Then the engine would go back to first gear and forward progress would stop, in fact it was sliding south down the shoreline very slowly.  I think I got around it buy making a run at the shore and cutting the engine before that point, coasting up to the shore.  Then  I would start the engine and put it back into gear.  It was still difficult even trying this.  The sticking point was close enough to land that Edgar's troops would run from that point and not drown.  Hope this helps ya.

Ill bet its the depth transition in the terrain... It may be  drawn to steep
