Title: Ground Vehicle Identification from Air
Post by: Waffle on May 06, 2004, 05:51:17 PM

Just a thought to help see vehicles from air.

Maybe add tread marks behind the GV (like the wakes on the boats)

and maybe in future dust particles trailing at higher speeds


2cents :)

great idea.. the tracks can fade over time like bomb craters do...  it is going to be tough to spot gv's now.    in the real world tracks and dust kick up where major factors.

Noooooooooooooooo!  :)

Not knowing whether I've been spotted or not in a GV is what makes it exciting sometimes, especially when in an M3 with troops..... don't ruin it by making us easy to spot!  :p

You're going to have something that's been lacking in the past available to you now, Flossy....COVER!  Dust trails and tire tracks could actually be used to help conceal your position...get in your gv, drive around creating multiple tracks...enemy plane flies overhead and sees all kinds of tracks...reports back to base that there is a massive gv defense mounted....
