Not to take away from the hard work which is greatly appreciated HT, but what happened to the clouds you guys were working on?  They get dropped for terrain or was it to difficult to employ?  Just curious.

It's been seen in FSO on occasions..   They look GREAT, btw.. but I think a few folks took some serious performance hits.. :(

They're casting their bait over there, see?

And the most important thing: no concrete trees and bushes? Dynamic terrain, ie some obstacles can be taken down, like trees, farmhouses etc?

I wouldn't count on that, though even I'm a little hopeful.  But maybe we'll have some water depth, so that we can get some seaplanes in (H6K :D).  I don't think our current water could handle a seaplane.  You'll either get stuck or crash. :headscratch:

For real!! depth in water would be fantastic if possible.

So very happy AH is working on terrain graphics!!! I feel like this one of if not the biggest obstacle that is detouring new players from joining the game. 

Im Proud of you HTC yay!

The water has a depth.  We do have LVTs and also Pt boats + cv groups.  To answer your question the submarine implementation is quite a bit of hard work and complex work...  I would doubt it will be implemented for a few years.  There is to many other things that have a higher demand from the community.  

I hope we  will eventually see  them..  Maybe in AH3


Sooner be able to shoot a HE round at a tree and have it blown over. Same with the farm buildings.  Like BF4.


Great job HTC  looks great.

Looks really nice.  I wonder if this means new airfields and vehicle bases too?

Only problem is that the terrain looks very monotone. Needs more colours/shades.

Wouldn't at all mind if AH ended up looking something like this. Yes, its monochromatic, but there's still beauty in it.

Bleh.  All washed out and trying too hard to look "serious".  Reality does not look monochromatic.

Let's hope it doesn't go all the way...
