JohnO Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Question, to the Beta testers. Did any vehicles both Blue or Red side ever get stuck/immobilized due to terrain or thrown a track during play? JohnO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi JohnO Yes they do. Each of their vehicles has their particular quirks as to what they bog down in most. One thing that seems to be bad news for all is 'mud'. If you want to recreate the sitaution seen in the book 'Ambush Alley' (worth reading by the way) just have your M1 Abrams dash across a section of mud. Suddenly your mega-death mega bucks machine is just an armoured pilbox Don't ask me about % or chances of what getting stuck where. I just drive em Cheers fur noo George 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 if you want to do something fun in the game drive an Abrams over a trench at an oblique direction. Oops, that's a mighty awkward angle for a tank to get itself stuck at! Hey this IS something you'll be able to try for yourself in just 8 days! :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Thanks guys. Did any one see if any of the track vehicles on either side, threw a track when getting stuck or going over rocky terrain? JohnO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan/california Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Enough control to be fun includes enough control to be stupid unfortunately. There is ample real world evidence that drivers sometimes screw up as well, driving into canals seems to be a particular and particularly unpleasant favorite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 The game doesn't display a 'thrown track' message or animation but when your 70 ton monster is 'immobilized' while trying to cross an obstacle a throw track is as likely a reason for finding yourself 'immobilized' as any. About AI overiding movement orders - yes it does and don't complain about it when you see it! Occassionally you plot a straight path and the vehicle steers left then comes back on course. What he's doing is avoiding a bit of less-than-ideal terrain along the route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
