cdcool Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 At least an option to show them for those whose system can handle it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eniced73 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I do not think it is a matter of not showing them to keep the game running smoothly on older computers but rather a limitation of the game code. If you had the older CM2 games you would know that running over fences and hedgerows and also driving through water gives away the positions of your vehicles causing that even though none of your units have a spot on that said unit. The way the system is now you would be able to track your enemies by watching their snow tracks. I do agree with you though that it would greatly increase the immersion of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user1000 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 If it is doable, don't forget footprints.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdcool Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 It's snow , you need tracks and footprints, no way around that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Yeah no tracks in the snow is to bad. You really don't want all tracks to be seen by everyone - like the damage to fences. That would be one option. The problem with making tracks a spottable featue was the load on the system was just too much. Believe me you don't want that. A couple of other ideas were kicked around but didn't work out. I think there are some thoughts on this for the future but for now it is the way it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebloggs Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Don't forget "yellow snow" "No plan survives contact with the next turn button" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Lol. We have yellow snow in game actually. Check out any snow on an objective. The green objective highlighting looks pretty yellow when it is over snow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's even worse on summer terrain, since a real tank will dig nice big brown earth tracks that stand out against the green grass, but a track on snow is often just white like the rest of the snow. You can definitely see the track in the snow, but it's less obvious than on summer ground. Edited April 9, 2016 by Bulletpoint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eniced73 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 The "other" game simulates this nicely by showing the tracks as the vehicle drives and then they fade away after a couple seconds. I am sure that is their way of dealing with this being a resource hog. No multiplayer in this game allows them not to worry about the issues that we see in CM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
