Those light settings are just bleh...don't match the map what so ever.

Yeah 2 was the intended amount. basically the absolute minimum to "have tanks" and not taking away too much from infantry.

Questions:
1) What factions on map

2) I suggest 1 Tank and 2 APC's for each Major faction

3) How are you so epic at this?

4) Are those field Undergrowth or static

5) (More of a Statement) The LightSetttings Look fine. dont listen to HughJass

[Agent Parker]

1) USA vs MEC (woodland)
2) My selection is 2 tanks and no apcs. To explain that I have to leborate the point:


The viewdistance on this screenshot is 680m. The hedges do provide good cover from enemy tanks AS LONG they do not know you are there. Because if they spot you, there is nothing stopping HE rounds or bullets. Means you area dead. An APC would instantly own these areas because it has a very high rate of fire for a very effective anti-infantry weapon (HE rounds autocannon). A tank does have a powerful gun too, but it fires a lot slower. So a tank gunner has to balance the risk of loading HE shells to kill inantry with the danger of being spotted by another tank and get hit before he can load AP rounds and shoot back. This limits the Tank's anti-infantry role a bit whic balances it. And using Tanks + APCs decreases this "rock-paper-scissors" balance which I intend to have on the map.



3)



4) the fiels are only undergrowth with a drawdistance of 200m. If the density is too high I am going to decrease it a bit. basically 200m allows the grass fields to show up just a little more over the next tree line (this was an intended design goal). The grass is very short and machine gunners should have no issues with actually seeing stuff while prone.

5) Yeah I am hapyp with the lightsettings. However Hughjass provided some really good advice on another topic (collision for bushes).

Nice Chart haha. Great work. Cant wait to Test this bad boy

[Agent Parker]

Well as a matter of fact I just placed most GPO objects. My target is to get this finished for you PR guys to look at it on sunday.

Assets:

2x Tanks
2x Trucks
2x Jeeps
1x Transport Heli (flying cow and blackhawk / both have doorgunners)

I expect some epic fire support from low flying blackhawks

[Agent Parker]

First ingame screens.

[sittingduck911]

Hell yeah that look awsome mate. top job

[Agent Parker]

the swamp turned out better than I expected. with the swampy sound effects its really cool.

[ReadMenace]

Is it a swamp, or a flooded area? If it's a swamp, you might reconsider the vegetation arrangement.
That aside, looking good.

There is a tank hidden on this screenshot. Who finds it first gets 50+ cool points.

***********************************
Had some insane fun driving the tank over the soft hills. The hedges are more or less 2m high. A skilled tank crew can take advantage of covering most of the tank behind a hedge while firing over it. I hope this will turn out to be some classy WW2 like tank combat action. And because I placed no APCs, there is still many infantry running around.

Looks good!



Just make a post in the beta tester forums when you are ready.
