Tree branches

[Zener]

Not sure where you get the idea I'm trying to drive through the citrus trees.  Those trees have branches that stick out from the main part of the tree and its been my experience that if you so much as brush them you'll come to a dead stop regardless of what kind of GV you're in.  Obviously I do drive around them but there are some sections where it's a very close shave between one of those trees and the trunk of another tree.

It sort of defeats the purpose if we're going to have to ride the brakes while transiting in a GV. 

I do use zoom and try to get in lanes that allow me to use the full speed of the vehicle.  The big issue I have is with SOME types of trees, the branches hang so low that no matter what position you view from, you cannot see past those branches, thus you have no way to know what's on the other side of them.  So you line up to avoid the trunks, blast through the low-hanging branch and end up stuck in the next set of trees you had no way to see.

But now that I know about the .psave thing I'll gather the info next time I run into that situation.

Had a couple in BowlMA

-596183,44,-8838,0.7,2.6,75.8
bowlma
FOV = 69.6

and

-145486,510,293255,-0.0,1.3,79.6
bowlma
FOV = 69.6

Hope this helps

It wasnt personal towards you, was just saying. We know WHAT we CAN and CANT drive through, why try to drive so close that the low branches grab you? All of the trees that have these limbs are different from the ones that dont. I dont GV much but I have no problem differentiating the trees. I know, because it doesnt happen to me, doesnt mean its not an issue. Just putting my experience out there

...why try to drive so close that the low branches grab you?

Because there is not enough room between the edges of the offending branch and the trunk of another tree.  So I either hit the trunk and stop or get far enough away from the trunk to avoid it and end up having the little branches stop me with a force that would deploy airbags (if GVs had them).  I know how to drive and how to avoid trees; I'm saying that there are SOME places where best efforts don't work and I have to back up and go around that spot.  I am guessing that's either due to the tree density or the settings because the exact same driving technique works everywhere else.

  Thus the .psave. Guess I have just been lucky so far. Have yet to find those little "EASTER EGGS". Thats why I GV from the air

Here is some data from yesterday, 7/30.  Two of us were driving tanks base-to-base.  There was a stretch of the small trees with hanging fruit, and I aimed between what appeared to be two stands of trees.  There was enough room between the trunks for a tank to easily pass through yet just the branch edges stopped me cold.

With the added tree density, and low hanging branches, GV'ing is way more frustrating than in AH2.  My guess is it's a feature, not a bug, but a huge dissatisfier for me.

More trees means easier to hide from planes but also slows you down so it goes both way, but i agree, the branches could be a little less aggressive.

Trees much better since the last patch.

Trees much better since the last patch.   

Agreed, much better.

[Randy1]

Yes much better.

They sure are... they act like real trees now.  Thank you for fixing this, HTC.
