Title: Not sure about this
Post by: badhorse on May 17, 2006, 07:05:03 AM

Not sure if this is a bug or not so I thought I would post here and get other opinions.  The other day I decided to spawn out a panzer and hit a town. On the way I came to a bldg. just as a convoy of trucks were leaving. I thought I would just get on the road and follow the trucks. That way I wouldn't have to worry about getting flipped over by them comming up behind me.  Anyway, after following a short while the road went into some woods.
The thing is, trees and the dark green bushes were coming right trough the road. The convoy went right through but I had to backtrack and go around.  I have noticed this in a few other maps as well.
Not a big issue I grant you, but shouldn't the roads be clear?

That would be a lag issue.

Lag issues makes your front end do all kinds of things  :(
Good idea to run a trace route from time to time.

Better still is when the road all the sudden goes up a ramp to a bridge that is there for no reason. Some of those ramps are dangerous too.. they have gaping holes in them (that create an optical illusion) that GVs can get stuck on, or fall right through.

Then of course are the roads that go up and down slopes in excess of 50% grade (45 degrees or more) and the convoys ride up and down them like they are still on fla pavement.
