About the new terrain

[BiPoLaR]

This is all fine and dandy, but are the 2ft tall bushes still going to stop a tank dead in its tracks?

Maybe this can help players without Shader model 3 ?

And provide hull-down cover? Yeah, prolly. If only they were hard to avoid when driving. My
youngest step-son has the same problem. The other day there was a discussion with him about
his getting a scooter.

I look at him and say, 'A scooter?! You can't ride a bike without putting it into the bushes and
you want a scooter?!'

He says, 'Those bushes are tough obstacles! I bet they could stop a tank!'

'Funny you should say that.' I digressed (which is what he was hoping).

Crushing bushes under tank-treads and blowing up trees with main guns ... I bet Dale never thought
that would be paramount issues for the masses.

Is there a projected quarter for the new terrain?  Maybe in the first quarter of the coming year?  Has to be a ton of work to implement this kind of update.

      I think they were intended to simulate Hedgerows.

Awesome.

Thank you, thank you... for the hard work and surprises.

I'd still suggest that while the objects remain indestructible please get rid of concrete shrubbery, I'd don't mind if the larger trees are concrete though.

I may be wrong, but I believe bushes and trees are separate objects in the game. So, could it be possible to make the bushes destructible with a very short downtime, like a minute or so? That would show the track where a tank has been moving but wouldn't change the looks of the landscape forever. And of course a clever tanker wouldn't go through the bushes to avoid leaving tracks for bombers.

The hedgerow in Slate's picture looks like it there's more than just plants in it...

Anyway, thank you again for your efforts, keep on coading!

There will be a converter for existing terrains , but some clean up would add a lot to the terrains.

The new terrain system is looking very promising so far. If needed I can rework my CraterMA terrain for it once the tools are available to do so.

on a side note,, would you be willing to ad your crater ma TT to the dueling arena map?

I think the creator of the duelling map would have to do that.

agree!!!  just wondered if you would mind?  and I'm not sure who made the DA map either? 

[Greebo]

I'd have no problem with someone copying the layout, either on the duelling or another MA map. I'd also be happy to advise on how to do it.

Thanks!!!  If I could do it,I would!!!  I think It would help to keep GV'rs around when less GV friendly  maps are up!
