<S> aceshigh players.
OK this is my beef.many many times while in a tank an engaging our opponents.there has been many times that i have fired oppone another tank and he or she has hindin behind a hedgerow or trees.and your salvo explodes hitting the tree or hedgerow.in all reality wouldn't a real salvo round go thought the hedgerow or tree limbs and hit its target? so what i am asking here is way cant hightec make it so that the salvo rounds hit the gvs through the hedgerows or tree limbs. am i the only one who feels the same way about this ?

I've noticed that too, but there's only so much HiTech can do ya know?

In real life hedgerows did little to stop tanks once they figured out a way to plow thru them. Another HTC moment....

And why can't our troops carry Bazookas?

I was watching something just the other night, and a quote from a M4 commander " while running through a town to get away from a Tiger I put a building between my M4 and the Tiger only to have the Tiger shoot though no less then five wall's and disable my M4 killing all but myself and my gunner". I don't know if it was a true story, but I'm just quoting what was said.

It simulates impassible terrain features. Indestructible terrain features are prolly not realistic, but destructible features are prolly unfeasible.

At full speed in a T34/85 I was stopped dead in my tracks by a sheep...tough sheep

That's not a 'bazooka'. It's the 88mm 'panzershreck' (tank terror) as it was commonly known, though it's official name was 'Raketenpanzerbüchse' (rocket tank rifle).

That exception is big enough to swallow the rule - they were the death of many tanks before anyone figured that out. And even then a tank being able to plow through hedgerows doesn't mean it could shoot through them or see through them. So just think of the game's hedges as abstract representations of an 8-10 foot high and thick earthen embankment with a hedge on top.
The trees I have more of a problem with, especially since at longer ranges a tank can sit in the right place under the foliage and fire out from under it will being immune to the plunging return fire. I can't think of any similar real-world situation.

Both sides have the same issue...... hence no issue.
My complaint is that I want to squash sheep. :P

You used to be able to strafe the sheep in AW that were on the field grazing, they'd bleat when you shot them.
