Ground Clutter, on or off
« on: August 22, 2003, 04:59:08 AM »
Whilst sat in a Tiger last night an enemy  panzer hove in to view, one 88mm shell and he was no more, on common channel "harry" congratulated me on a superb shot,  whilst stating that he didn't even see me. I asked if he had ground clutter on or off and he replied that he had no idea what it was, anyway I advised him to ctrl c and keep it off, I did feel guilty that I had gained an unfair advantage and I am sure that other "players" are unaware that the majority turn clutter off or that the feature exists.

Anyway, would it not make sense that when a player entered the arena ground clutter was forced off if at all possible ?

Hi smiggy,

With ground clutter on you see trees etc and I may be hiding behind one, however with my ground clutter off I see no trees at all just a perfect view of you, try ctrl c next time in arena

I have it off the speckled ground clutter (that stuff other than the trees) is about the most god awful ugly stuff.   I liked the tree but the ugly stuff is a worse bad than the trees are a good.


(I did not like the last update where the trees were added to clutter instead of being solid objects)

Not to mention that keeping it off can give a significant framerate boost on lower end machines. I usually gain 10-15 fps with it off.

So here we go again...

What is the point of clutter if it can be disabled by players?

Why would a player ever place themselves at a disadvantage by having clutter on, when they can just toggle it off?

Why would a player ever place themselves at a disadvantage during night time, if they can simply 'toggle' off the night by turning up gamma?

Why would a player ever risk a collision with worldly objects when they can simply toggle off the annoyances with the touch of a key.

Eliminate the 'features' that everyone disables anyway and just think of how many posts and complaints on this forum would go away...

Someone slap me please. I was having a moment of common sense.

no worries AH2 will have no ground clutter. i turn mine off for better frame rate. but see when i do bring my tigr out most chances are im going to lose it. i got a 12 kill sortie 1 time. i meet a enemy panzer by our vh as i was otw to it.he takes out my track but he dies very fast. then i figure out the field has no supplies.............i lose 22 perks and then not the mention the "host:skull12 landed 12 victories in a tiger 1 of 20th military"

Maybe they are looking for some immersion in a simulation game instead of points chasing arcade mania.

I fly with Ground clutter off!  Glass cockpit on! And Invisio mode enabled!

 Something is wrong with the score system though.
