Tanks break fences/push down trees

[BobCobb]

Most likely the amount of code to include this into the engine, as well as making sure it doesn't bog down the servers just isn't feasible for the UE2.5.

I would rather see more important gameplay fixes being made, and leave more complex ideas to the next-generation of engines.

The only engine that does stuff like this (that I have seen with my eyes) is the CryEngine2 .... though UE3 can reportedly do it too, I really cant wait to see what ramm can pull off.

what is the point of the fences anyway, all they do is provide a unrealistic obstacle to tanks and also flying armor piercing ammunition

in terms of eyecandy, ok... remove them or make it so that the majority of the fences are destroyed by previous tank battles, artillery etc. with only a few standing fence posts

 

[Jack]

Yeah I agree. While it is historically correct to have the fences around all the little Russian peasant homes (which is the style they did, each house was enclosed by a rectangular fence), make the villages ravaged by battle damage so that most of the fences are blasted down, then it looks realistic and doesn't hinder the tanks!

Actually it is a standard in UE3.0, I believe physics are enabled by default...

It wasn't scripted: entirely dependent on the player's actions.


Just load up a multiplayer game of CoD:UO and watch people in the tanks, they will knock trees over.

Not all trees and lamp posts in UO were able to be knocked over. The tanks in UO had the same problem with getting stuck on trees and fences. The UO tanks would blow up though when you got them stuck.

 

[Cluase Von Wittybrain]

On another note...lets talk about it from a realistic aspect?

Did Tanks generally knock over fences and trees?

Probably not IMHO.

Too much risk.

Tank tracks are not the invinsable.

Fence wire could get caught up in the track and bugger your track. And you would be a stagnent shell.

Generally Tanks avoided running over anything that was not dead or just mud.

Speaking off...prehaps we should have dymanic Mud in some maps?

Mud that that just appears? and all of a sudden your embedded?

 

[Denwad]

so bouncing off the fence and having wooden fences stop ammunition isn't realistic either, it needs to be fixed ASAP

 

[SasQuatch]

We can do this. The only downside would be none of you would be able to play the game because of the insane netwok trafic. Each breakable object equals 1 network relevant actor on top of: players, weapons, tanks, vehicles. And these total should be < 300 at any given time or situation on a map.
There's a reason why almost no game is able to do this yet especially in a multiplayer enviroment. And we are no exeption.

Actually only specific trees could be driven over, not all. In the single player all but the largest could be "destroyed" but in multiplayer only a limited amount.
