Dont park under a tree in a wirble. Your almost as likely to end up with your turret knocked out from the leafs that shoot back as you are from an enemy airplane. LOL

Let's not forget...those leaves and branches will roll over a Tiger :bhead

I was under the impression that the squirls did this.

Too many trees to track damage states for them. War Thunder, or whatever crap you're pushing, couldn't do it either. They solve it by forcing you to fight in a phone booth.

They can track player controlled moving objects that disapear after a hit and can collide but yet cannot make a tree disapear when hit or rolled over?
Welcome to 2013

Ok, let's say the tree would fall over when you hit it, when should it "respawn"? World of Tanks each map is limited to 15min...AH it's 1 week. After seeing some of the people tank in AH, the place would look like a cleat cut forrest after week.

There would be two ways of handling it. Either the damage reconstitutes itself after a specific amount of time has passed (like bomb craters do now) or it could be controled on the player's FE with a memory setting continually replacing older damage with newer damage most likey with a set min and max.

Easier way to do it.
Trees shouldnt roll tanks no matter how many times you bump into them. At worst they should cause you to come to an immediate stop. Not stop. then stop and twirl and spin if you bump into em again. Just lpain stop unless you hit them at such an angle that would cause the tread to ride up the tree. And even that should be as difficult as climbing a hill.
At worst, Trees and leafs should absorb rounds. Not ricochet them back at you
-
I wouldn't mind the trees to stay down until the map is reset, trees don't grow overnight afterall :)
Also it would make deforestation a valid defensive tactic in the MA...who said napalm in the back?
-
I can see it now, 5 newbies drop napalm like mad so there are no more trees to fly into...

naplm would also make a great smoke screen...

death to the jumping trees! :t

Then again might not be so bad, I'll make it step 1 in my B-29 preflight: napalm all trees withing 2k of runway.

Probably could if you knock out a few hundred slots from each arena... a possible loop hole could be similar to the craters. Once everyone towers, the trees pop back up.
I wouldn't mind the current, tank tipping trees as much if they got a nice graphics update.
Until then, they will continue to bring my jeep from 60 to 0 in less than a second. Rolling my tiger, and jumping up in front of my plane at the last possible second.

now that's a hit idea :rofl

They don't ricochet them back at you. The shells explode on contact. You are simply too close to them and are caught in the blast radius.
Sit out in the open and take it like a man, then you won't have to worry about it. :neener:

running into a tree in a gv should give you a pilot wound, or kill you outright.
I don't think they had seatbelts did they?

I haven't played Theatre of War in a long time, but iirc trees and the like were flattened when hit by explosives. I don't recall if they respawned. Of course ToW has a much smaller map(s) and much less to code for.
Don't forget it's not just trees that flip vehicles.

I remember years ago, out in the field at Fort Knox. One of the less intelligent soldiers among us, climbed into the "hole" of an M-60A3, fired her up and went for a drive. Everyone was fine until the DS had him button up, this is where the problems kicked in. Our brilliant field general couldn't see through the periscope, for who knows why, but kept driving. Next thing you know he hits a pine tree going maybe 10 mph. The tree was maybe 25-35 feet tall, I know, big range but I've never prided myself in guestimating the height of trees. Any way, the tree instantly bent like something out of Jurassic Park then the most gawd awful cracking sound that penetrating to the bone. With that the tree snapped clean just above the base and toppled over.
With all the 'oohs' and 'ahhs' and a few 'holy sh*ts' Pvt Monk (don't know why I still remember the idiots name) finally stopped the tank, set the brake, popped the lid and looked at his handiwork. The cuss words were perfectly clear 100yds away as if they were swearing at me.
If one idiot Pvt in a 60ton M-60A3 can snap a rather tall tree without so much as a shrug, should these trees flip a 56-65 ton Tiger I or II? My guess is no but hey, the gods of AH say yes so here we are.
Boo
PS The rest of the story. The DS took turns running over the trees in tanks, turning it into kindling wood. They didn't want the local Communist Commissar Political Officer, I mean the Environmental Officer to see the tree. If the remains were kindling wood the story of "we found it that way" made sense. If a whole tree, hard to say someone else did it.

I did that with a 17 tons tank... many times.In dense woods of northern Sweden we paved way for the B202- 206 non-armoured troop carriers in the snow.
As a punishment they made us chop them threes with axes for firewood...
With the Centurion on the 1rst gear, one guy went right through a concrete wall of the garage ......
S-tank was similar easy to go wood-chopping ,with its pointy nose.

Save said "sheep". You are dating yourself sir! <S>

The squirrels with cameras are there for your protection and thus must be themselves protected. :old:

They're always in focus.
I can feel thier stare.

Oddly enough i can blast a tree in a tank at 2 inches and drive away unscathed
