terrain could look far better with a simple fix

[Major Biggles]

in my opinion, the reason the terrain tiles look quite odd, is that they're a fairly flat texture. there isn't much colour variation in them. because of this, not only does the terrain look very barren, but it's also hard to judge how close you are to the ground (also why i hated the animated water. it all looked the same, so you could never accurately judge how close you were to the ground)

also, i miss the farm textures from the last version, they were quite pretty.

if it's possible HTC, for the next patch, if you could add in more variation to the terrain tiles, bring back some of the less generic ones (the farm looked really nice), and perhaps like many have said, lighten the green colour of the tiles slightly, it would look vastly better.



the tiles just need a little bit more on them

the farm tiles were just plain gorgeous.

...and throw in some sheep while yer at it...

[JB88]

there are sheep in this patch.

seriously.

[hubsonfire]

They're not very good sheep, mind you. They won't blow up when shot, and Waffle already branded them, so they're scarred. But yeah, we do have sheep.

I like the roads and bridges, and the trees are a lot better, but the ground just looks way too plain from the air. Looks good from a tank, but extremely bland from any higher.

The windmills and stone bridges are nice though, and I love the trees that arent rock solid all the way out to the tips of the branches.

I think the moving windmills are a great addition.  WTG HTC and crew

The textures are there and look quite nice from the ground, but the belending is too much when viewed from alt, turning everything into a solid (VERY) green texture. Nice burms around the field guns too, do those make them harder to kill?

I love the coloration of the water, just tone down the golf-course green a bit and we're there.

I was in a Sherman for a while last night and I couldn't make out any of the small hills from ground level, even though i know they were there because people kept going behind them.

Nope I was interested to know the same thing so I took my jug up and went to go de-ack with 50s only and I must say it is EXTREAMLY easy compared to what it was, it seems all you need to do now is get bullets in the gun bunker to kill it no actually hit the gun.

I'm having trouble seeing the guns within the berms, because they're so tiny. iirc, long ago there used to be a slider that increased the size of field ack... does anyone know if that setting is still around?
