Title: Some funny moments
Post by: Kitt18 on October 10, 2008, 08:21:41 AM
Since the latest patch was released I've seen some things that are rather funny. I've seen tanks get hit and fly across the vbase and explode and lvt's get hung up on the shore line and bounce like a basketball 50' in the air. But yesterday I was driving along in a T34 when the pesky train started pinging me, I spun my turret and destroyed the back half. Suddenly the remaining section lifted off the ground and flew parallel to me, continuing to shoot me from non-existing guns. I don't know why, but I thought it was funny to watch.
Has anyone else witnessed these amusing glitches?

I like when a supply barge at a Port goes on to dry land. I think they should have it pull up at the docks and have longshoremen unload them. The only problem there is, they will all probably be in the indestructible playing cards and drinking beer.

You're right.  It is funny.  Trains that fly.

The train is following the railroads. The bug is that the railroads don't always display at the proper height. You'll notice this is a common bug. I don't know if it's on the map-building side or the game-code side. Sometimes the "tracks" disappear under the terrain, but the train continues as if the tracks were in the proper place. It's above the ground because it's on a bridge or raised portion of rail.

I always see flying trains but last night I was driving a Sherman out to a town because there was a Wirble there and all of a sudden a single flying truck flew by (and there was no road... it was open terrain).

A few months ago, there was a carrier crossing land like that, but it was below ground level.  Only the very top of the island was above ground.  I was able to blow up the radar and "light the candle", but couldn't hit anything else.  The good news was that none of the Anti-Aircraft guns could fire up through the ground level either, so flying over the carrier was totally safe.  Wish I had grabbed a screen shot.

the trains do that at all the factories,  the tracks end just outside but the train keeps on going,  as for the guns  its on the last or 2nd from the last car sometimes theres another gun just after the engine but thats rare.
you  just blew up one boxcar leaving the rest behind it stopped on the tracks and the gun keeps on shooting,  hit the engine first and then shoot the rest of the cars.
