GV VS terrain

[Volron]

Dang I must be doing something wrong. Spent a couple hours GVin tonight and didn't get flipped once. Must be driving wrong.

Of course!  How else can you get your Tiger's belly rubbed if ye not playing Sumo with that shrub!?

ah so your saying you DRIVE into a position that you have no hope of surviving except to land "top up". Sounds like if you took a better route you wouldn't have that problem, much like having the choice of flying trough the open end of a hanger or the closed.

The point is the trees and shrubs WILL flip your tanks. It is the same for EVERYONE. Learn to drive and AVOID these hazards. If you don't you WILL continue to flip tanks. I haven't flipped one in years though I don't play the GV game much. I wonder how many time DR7 has flipped a tank? My guess is not very many as he pays attention to what is around him and is very good at watching all around him.

While your work around is successful, and doing this work around will help keep you from flipping tanks, there is still a valid concern that a tank should be able to crush a bush and drive through a gun emplacement (at least how they are modeled today).  

I get what you're saying, but at the same time there is room for improvement.  Tree stops tank, fine, tree flips tank

There is ALWAYS room for improvement. What many people here don't seem to understand is that HTC is a small company. I'm sure they would love to add everything every one asks for, however they have to pick a choose which make it in either due to costs/time/man power.

The way I drive isn't a work around, it's how the game has been played for as long as we have had GVs.

By this it would appear you do see that problem we are discussing here is indeed something that can be addressed.

work·a·round
 [wurk-uh-round]
noun 
1. Computers.  a strategy or technique used to overcome a defect or other problem in a program or system: This is a known bug in version 1.5, but a workaround is available. 
2. any method used to overcome a technical problem, especially a problem that could prevent success: The astronauts needed a workaround to bypass the faulty cable.

In my  world, rabidly avoiding the slightest contact with a bush in a tank because it may spin around like a Dreidel is a work round.

No argument here on this. 

What you seem to be ignoring is that this post is in the WISHLIST section. Telling someone how to avoid a situation is fine, telling someone they are wrong for thinking their issue has no merit, something only HTC can answer.  You have lots of good advise sir, I don't understand why you have to undermine it with the negative attitude all the time.  You spend a lot of time in the wishlist forum belittling people for their "wishes"...

As compared to the "rest of the list" yes the idea has no merit and I believe a complete waste of HTC time. Personally I'd be happy flipping over trees for the next 5 years as long as the terrain, water, sky, lighting effects, all get upgraded. A few more planes to play with sure wouldn't hurt either.

See, you have great ideas. Hit the "new topic" button, post away, and quit crapping all over other peoples wishes. Come on man, this is a community. Do you want to be that old man everybody loves, or the old man who screams "get off my lawn"?  You choose.  

Providing tactical advise has value. Saying something is unworkable for X reason is appropriate. Telling someone YOUR wish is more important than theirs is flaming, and very unbecoming of a vet in this game. You're better than that.

I'm not flaming, I'm just pointing out the reality 's of the situation.  Yes sometimes the truth hurts but knowing eases the pain of having your "wish" dashed to pieces.

Well then, I was wrong.  Thank God almighty we have you here to set us straight.  You are a fine example of tolerance and understanding. Now, let me get off your lawn

Why not simply make all the bushes permeable, as some already are?

Because Fugitive says it's unnecessary.  Don't you get it man!!!???!!!

[stabbyy]

point is... i really do not give a damn if you guys(wanna be flamers) think it should or should not be changed... nor do i care how long it has been this way.
to the people that get it 

to the people who think they get it... typical..

fact being its my post... in the wishlist forums and is something i feel should be and needs to be changed/reworked because it is something that is not intended to happen within the game there for should be corrected

[Wiley]

Rather than all this other stuff, why not just make tanks self-righting?  Do flipping tanks really add all that much to gameplay?

I never said it was "unnecessary". I said that the time and effort to make it happen is most likely prohibitive at this time as there many other things that need to be done.

Do you people know how to read and understand what is written without adding your words?
