Wouldn't turning off ground clutter help ?

I find M8's hard to see over 500 yards away.  Mano and Tyfoo have sat still in the open in green areas and peppered me repeatedly as I spin my turret like a top trying to get a fix on them. Almost as invisible as jeeps sitting still.

Mano is tyfoo trained and they both spend more time in m8s than I do in my Peterbilt.. They are experts in their field.. There is no hiding from gvdar ... I've lost around 50 storches to tyfoo and or mano.. To them it's like skeet shooting.. And they get allot of practice so if you fly low enough you will die... But as of last night manos m8 couldn't escape my heavy jug :) I'll teach you mano to kill my panzer!!

Why did you post here instead of the Aces High Bug Reports Forum?

Please take a good look at Rule number 4 and number 7.

Looks like you have been M-8’d again.

Ground clutter is only visible at close range so it will have no effect at long range. Also,
turning off ground clutter does turn off the shrubbery. Looks like you will have to learn the M-8

I did the same thing the other night in an M4, not sure if it was the same thing that this appears to have been. But there were about 7-8 or more planes flying around looking for me and I never got one shot at me until I fired off a couple of rounds and they found my position. As for Mano & Tyfoo I have to agree with waystin they are like chicken fries can't eat just one.  :rock :rock :rock    I look forward to jousting with you gentlemen everytime I log in. You frustrate the hell outta me but always a good time when I get you back. Like I did the other night Tyfoo. T34 DOWN :D

So are you mano in the game? And do you have only the reading attention span of a twitter user......

To know the specifics you just presented, you are either him or spend time as his ride along buddy. As for your attention span for reading...that is your problem. And your assumption of a monolithic group of players who collectively know everything about GV's in this game, is the same as saying you speak for all the voters in your country becasue they all know the same things you do.

Interesting vitriolic reaction to sharing information.

The root of what I observed I believe comes from the phenomenon of a plane flying over you sitting under a tree, at a pre-determined distance from the leaves in your line of sight, it's icon disappears and then reappears on the other side as it leaves that space around the leaves. The Icon which we should be able to see starting at I think 600 or 800 for a shut down vehicle is suppressed by that function making it totally invisible to even another vehical at point blank range. I doubt even Hitech was aware of this from my expereince in the 2 years of the alpha\beta. I could have simply documented it as a bug like I would have during the alpha\beta.

I decided telling the community about it for those who have yet to mind meld with you and Mano would be a better service for everyone. We will probably be seeing much more gratuitous lobbing of rounds into out of the way suspicious clumps of bushes or small trees known to allow your vehicle to drive through them.

I allowed mano to keep shooting down my storch to investigate the phenomenon and determine the root of it since it appeared to me to be a game bug. I don't really care if you or mano walk on green jello and part tubs of beer with a wave of your main guns when it comes to GV's in AH3, I was trying to understand a potential bug I was witnessing and mano was helping me identify it's parameters.

You are the person who outed mano just now, I never gave the name of the tanker who I was scouting for, the vbase's number, the name of the map or, the name of the Gver we were looking for. That would have been unkind to him in my opin

wow just wow bustr did you not read who posted it^^^ talk about attention span seems bustr has a real short one lol

No kidding. Its more useless rhetoric.

It's just another swipe at the people who enjoy GV'ing. There is already a big neon sign pointing where you are. Trees and foliage is the only defense. Try to take away more.
