Can anyone tell me why vehicles come to a complete stop at the bottom of a hill? It would seem to me the vehicle should continue it's momentum. Also how can a bush stop a 60 ton tank?

Perk the bushes!! :D
Yeah I often have wondered this too Stud, it sucks flying down a hill and then all of a sudden the breaks get locked up and your face just hit the front of the tank because the air bag didn't deploy!:eek:

Just be glad we don't have the little white rocks anymore.

LOL, amen to that!
I'm pretty sure most players were not around in the AH1 days with the white stones that destroyed vehicles. They can't appreciate how much better the ground war is today.

I almost forgot about those.

I'd say heavy tanks would dig into the ground.
It is strange for well sprung GVs like the M8, especially when you land flat on its tires.

the hedgerows in Normandy stopped the tanks.

the hedgrows were on mounds of earth too that stoped the tanks.
where they little white rocs I thought they were more like land mines

It might have to do with how collisions with obstacles work in AH. For example, when are cruising along and you hit a tree, you come to a complete stop.
When you go down a steep enough hill with enough speed to compress the suspension enough on the transition, my guess is that part of your vehicle other than the tracks or wheels comes in contact with ground, which triggers the collision code, which brings you to a stop.
