People complain about what they percieve as gamey stuff like turning down object datail in GV's, turning down engine sounds and even cutting engines.
Why doesn't anyone ever complain about GV's (heavy armor no less) racing down hills at 80-100 mph in neutral? I've never ever seen this one posted.

Because it usually just brings the enemy quicker in to my gun's range.

Same goes for people who turn graphics off just to get an advantage seeing people in GV's across the map, those "elite" tankers who couldn't stand 5 minutes with graphics on now can kill 20 at a time

It's a very dicey affair gently steering a tank down a hill in neutral.:O
I vote we take a tank, put it on a steep slope in neutral and let the brakes off and see what happens.:t

that will never happen. turning graphics down is for the people that cant afford to buy these awesome game rigs. it helps with their Frame rate.

Regardless of my Rig I still have my graphics turned down, I learned from the past doesn't matter how good your rig is, only takes 1 lag spike to get killed from (for some reason flying on 1024 graphics) with 1600x1200 I do fine till I enter serious combat then it lag spikes me at times, can't figure it out.
I turn the graphics down to 512 it never lags and frame rate is always over 99

GET IT RIGHT I AM NOT A DWEEB I AM A NOOB jerk :D :p

Great just tie it in to vis range. If you can't see the trees at 2k then you wouldn't see the gv now would you.

or just tie it to, if GV is behind a object that would obstruct seeing it, then even if u turn textures down, u still cant see it.
and as for CVs being gunned down. HT needs to make CVs and Cruisers
impurvious to any gun fire below 40mm. no way a airplane will sink a
capital ship with guns, just too much armor and mass.

Should a tank shed/shred its track above # MPH?

Should a tank be able to drive over bushes and sheep too?

In the real world each vehicle would likely toss track at various speeds. Those odds go up dramatically with speed. The problem being thats a pretty high speed and not documented as it depends on the condition of the actual links in each track.
Why would you want this to happen? Who cares if someone goes for a cannon ball run in a gv? At least its some fun. Given all of the other stupid problems like solid sheep and bushes etc... why complain about one of the funner goofs?

I agree it's fun :) I do it whenever I have a chance.
I wasn't complaining about it. Just wondering why no one else had as it is, after all, pretty gamey.
-
Fair enough.. People complain about everything, especially when it inconveniences them. Of all of the gamey things there I hope this is one of the last they address especially since its physically possible in the real world.

I agree with Bronk.:aok
Did I just type that? lol

im with whels :aok
exactly how it should work. i realise its unfair penalising players with low spec hardware, but penalising those with newer kit is nuts.:huh
and back OT im pretty sure ive fried a panz by doing that - engine started at the bottom of the slope but no gears.
IRL Tigers had terrible transmissions - shonky at 30mph let alone 100. im guessing the diffs/driveshafts would fail pretty quick too.

Perhaps a better fix would be better (more realistic) ground physics. There's something utterly wrong in how a ~75 ton machine "skates" across the ground like a hovercraft to begin with.

Excellent response.

I enjoy the irony of folks that complain about spawn camping, yet see
nothing wrong with the star trek teleporter beaming in a new panzer ad
nauseum :D

Just what are you expecting? Flat ground is flat ground.

Turn graphics down to see better in a gv? Did not know this... thanks! I'm not usually a gv'r, always wondered how everyone seemed to be so good at spotting nme tanks and I was so bad. Gonna check it out.
