toxic.zen Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I did a simple test to see how treaded vehicles move over the differant terrain types. I will do one for wheeled vehicles as well. the tank used was the US M4 Sherman, which weighed in around 30 tons. the terrain types from left to right are as follows: 1 dirt, 2 hard, 3 rocky, 4 sand, 5 grass, 6 weeds, 7 light forest, 8 heavy forest (tank could not be placed here), 9 mud, 10 marsh (no tank), 11 shallow ford, 12 deep ford (no tank), 13 pavement, 14 cobblestone, 15 gravel, 16 dirt lot, 17 plowed field, 18 crop field, 19 dirt road, 20 gravel road, 21 paved road 1, 22 paved road 2, 23 railroad, 24 highway. one minute in. and this is at 1 minute 27 seconds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eniced73 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Nice Tox, Thanks for the information. You should keep all these in one place as it is surely going to be lost in the numerous insignificant threads in here. Just like the ones that were done for CMSF. I know someone was talking about putting a guide together but I am not sure if it was ever done. Would be nice to have one with just your results to go through without the numerous replies that will surely follow. Maybe post a file in the Repository and it can be updated with results only everytime someone does a test similar to yours. I know someone already did one on 'track damage' but I did not see any visual screen shots like yours. Again nice work. Do you every find yourself having more fun running these tests than actually playing the game? I know I do sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
