Levitating tanks
« on: January 24, 2012, 01:04:39 PM »
While I was taking some offline screenshots of a King Tiger skin I noticed there was a few inches of daylight between the tracks and the ground. This was in the beta, but it is the same in the current version as well. I went through the other GVs and apart from the King Tiger there are a few other "floating" vehicles as well. These are: all Shermans, Panther, both T34s and M3/M16.

I had posted the same bug also and I was told by Skuzzy,if I remember right,  the reason why they do that is because of the modeling. If they placed it on the ground then you would have collision factors going on.

Thanks ebfd11, I must have missed that thread. I was wondering if something like that was the case which was why I checked all the other tanks. It makes it odd that some of them aren't raised off the ground.

they all are a couple of inches off the ground.  something to do with damaging terrain features or something like that.  cant remember exactly from about 6 months ago.
