I'm a little suprised that the game seems to model AP causing so little damage once it has penetrated. Both types of round are streams of hot liquid metal once they have penetrated, and once they're through the armour they'll destroy anything they come up against. In todays tanks, nothing is really armoured inside the armour - there's a lot of heavy machinery for sure - but its quite vulnerable once its sitting in the open! I vote for another round type - HESH. Its very effective against smaller/lighter armoured vehicles due to its massive fragmentation effects, and would be very useful when ambushing heavy vehicles from the sides/rear.

You can all be sure that if this is annoying now, it will only get worse on release. The timer idea is best, you should get a kill credit if your target suicides within 20s of your last damaging hit. Only the last damaging hit is counted when assigning kills between more than one player. This provides an incentive to actually finish off the target instead of crippling him and leaving him stranded, which might be an option if a suicide penalty were introduced. All suicides should count as a death (as they do now iirc). Sorted

That would be shiney

Voice seems very quiet, is there a way of boosting it while ingame?

Hmm, it depends if you are meant to be hearing the sound from inside the vehicle or from your viewpoint hovering above it. When you are inside an armoured vehicle you can't hear fire from outside, and you can barely hear your own gunfire. What you actually hear is the gun mechanism working rather than the muzzle report.

Yep, disabling a bunch of options let me play - I'll enable them all again apart from terrain VBO and see if that was the one that broke it. As for drivers, I'll try what you say. Morat

It also makes hovercraft rather more deadly than they should be imo

Well, I'd have used the chat function to shout at you when you were splatting me with artillery just now Seriously though, is there a global chat or just a team chat?

Hi, I've just started testing. Had some good games on the ice map with decent performance and no issues spotted yet - but loading the other map stops at "loading textures 60%" and freezes up my machine. The mouse pointer becomes erratic and I can't regain control. ctrl-alt-delete brings up the windows security screen but I can't load the task manager to end task. Hard power off is the only option System: Dell Inspiron 9300. P4M 2.2Ghz, 6800 GO 256Mb, 1Gb RAM (533ddr). XP Pro SP2 fully patched. GFX drivers are dell proprietary ones, unable to update. But they Run EVE just fine... Morat
