can we get some rain?

[lunatic1]

 
now that we have clouds work  move and can hide in--would it be possible to get occasional ran showers? in AH3 that is

[guncrasher]

there's already showers but they ran too fast for you to catch them.

Will the increased numbers of rain objects and visual processing effects tied to each rain object for some players kill their FPS? And if that is a reality, does Hitech give them a toggle to kill that effect so they can enjoy the game with their more disposable income fortunate friends and enemies? The solution in other simms to get all those effects into the arena and not kill FPS too badly, is an arena that will fit in the hip pocket of our arena and a max of 32-64 players. Are you considering how many objects in our giant arena have to be processed by a player's PC by looking in any direction at a time?

Thumbs up you want to cancel about 1\3 of subscriptions due to inability to get FPS above 5 when it rains, or you haven't considered all the objects processed by just looking at the horizon in any direction?

WW2 was a fair weather fight. DDay took place only because it was the first break in weather they'd had for weeks and would have for more weeks to come. They didn't fly in storms, or rain, or snow. It was more dangerous to you than you were to the enemy.

No rain.

Overcast and heavy fog on the vehicle map might work.
