Playing with the 37mm on the airbases. found out they are impotent against low flying deakakkers when the opforce figured out to line up with the trees around the gun emplacement. the planes can easily shoot You and You don't have a chance because the trees block Your shot. Why the love affair with trees anyway. also no base would have a tree where there is a chance of a plane hitting it while taxiing, taking off or landing or blocking defensive weapons... I have brought This up before and someone posted picks of an airfield in a forest. probably a Luftlaffe one or . That field was not an airbase and most likely stuck in the timber to hide It from Allied air attacks. Or a NATO Harrier Field and That would most likely have air to air missiles for defense not guns. Nothing like the "airbases" modeled here. sidenote another reason trees weren't around WW2 bases was because the cut them up for firewood.

I can agree with this. There are too many trees in this game.
Add to that, if you have shadows enables there goes your frame-rate... Each tree needs one...

The trees have little effect, at least when I use them. Seriously! Even with 88s AA rounds. Aim at nearest tree top and fire. YES the explosion goes off on impact BUT lean around and watch the round continue flying to set range and STILL GOES POOF. Same with wirb,37mm and tank rounds. The bigger tree trunks however will stop rounds but brush and leaves not so much. BEFORE you call BS...try it for yourself :uhoh Its just my observations. It looks like it explodes, but round carries on.

The number of trees isn't affecting my ability to fight airplanes in another airplane.
Oh wait Rodbuster, you want to sit on the ground and shoot at airplnes..................... ........................ppppf ffffffffffffffftttttttttt

My beef is having tree leaves stop an 88mm shell flying at a tank that is shelling the base. Give me a break. If you can't model the trees being destroyed by the 88mm round so that the next one blasts him sky high, at least have the decency to make shells pass right through trees and brush.

I bet it was some fur-baller years ago who complained how unfair it was for a defensive 37mm AA to have an unfair advantage with a clear field of fire.......

Dundee is just stupid...just flat out stupid.

Zoney. Trolling on Me for engaging in ground to air play is both laughable and sad... From the looks of Your stats. I'm playing air to air more than You anyway.

I didn't forget to use caps. Kind trollish too.

"Salieri". You're confusing him with that guy from "The Sopranos".

More trolls. You confuse conversation actually correspondence. with some kind of battle, I'm discussing increasing a level of more realistic sim or game play. anf You are just bashing a player for an input that may make It a more enjoyable place to waste Their time and maybe increase Hitech's bottom line.
-
RodBuster my friend, it's a joke, and kind of a funny one too. Ease up a bit and you will probably have a better conversation with your fellow players.
My earlier dig was meant in fun too, I wasn't disparaging you personally or at least that wasn't my intent, I apologize. I didn't want you to be mad about it.

Guys, stop trolling rod. Jebus. Give him a break.
He makes a good point. AAA (any AAA from 88's to 37's) should not have their rounds stopped by trees or leaves. Period. It's kinda gameplay ruining. And I agree it on both not just sides for tanks AND AAA settings. It's frustrating to have a HE 88 round be stopped by a bush. It's like "COME ON!"
Conversely, a Stuka, or any anti-tank aircraft shouldn't have it's gazooka cannons stopped by silly tree leaves or a branch.
But - shouldn't this be in the Wishlist?
And guys, seriously. stop trolling this. It's a legit post.

Leaves do not stop weapons. If you see leaves but no flash, the weapon continued on threw the trees.

Come on folks, can't ya'll at least come up with a chuckle? it was funny! I have been working on shooting through the trees while in a GV and actually, you CAN figure out what will or won't stop a shot. Rather than just say something is wrong, try to work around it, or maybe find out that it's not the problem you thought. I don't find the trees to be an issue, except that if there is even one in an empty field, I WILL run into it! :banana: :x

Annoy the owner time..... wouldn't the round, ammo, or projectile [ :D ] continue through the tree opposed to the weapon itself?
[ This thought now enters HiTech's coconut..... I wish fuzeman would leaf me alone!!! ]

Thats because I'm not just talking about rounds, also bombs and rockets.

My main issue with the trees stems from them being magnetic, or having 20' diameter trunk. There has been several times I have hit trees, only to become hopelessly stuck to it. The only thing that seems to get you untangled is supps.
-
My main issue with the trees is field of vision. A plane can line up on Your gun position and You can't see them, but They can surely see You... I did have an incident with a warble. shooting at a plane close to trees, as I traversed I shot a tree and It killed me. It would be nice to change death by tree bark in gvs. Also Zoney, Virtually all jokes or so called jokes come at the expense of someone. To execute one properly, It takes taste, tact and timing... apparently You lack those attributes. :) see the smiley face... that means i'm just joking...
