great! get this in

Keep the view distance at 1000m else you're going to see people lasing enemies from half way across the map...?

whats wrong with that ?

i think what's wrong with seeing across half the map.

anyway, I as well second the motion. Couldn't this thing just be released as is for servers to play?

dat

Umm let's see:

I drive the tank out of the base and a guy sitting on a hilltop 2 Km away zooms in and lazes me.

At that range I'd have to be god to manage to kill him with the tank before I'm dead and hope some terrain mesh that renders only at 20m doesn't save him from a shell.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that huh.

Jet Combat would become more fun and fighter escorts and AAVs would be more effective. Sure, you can be lazed from 2 kms away, but your AA can also see the jet coming to bomb you from 2 kms away. Tanks would have more realistic engagement ranges and infantry would have more time to find cover. Increased view distance is good.

It will be very hard to lase targets from that range, especially if they are moving as you cannot steer the laser projectile. I don't see this as a problem and even when you do get it on them it will be completely realistic.

Supposing the team has someone lasing, supposing the is leet enough to get the slowest moving projectile on earth to connect with a target 2km away, and finally:

Supposing you have no AAV cover?

Argh, fine then.

But your aav log can just log on distances around 1500m so maybe a jet will be doomed but a hovering chopper will not. ??:

AA locks on at the view distance, or a bit more iirc. At least, thats what it seems anyway. But if there was this view distance the aa would also be changed I would assume.

Hellfire range is only 1 Km AFAIK

Yeah its right, but if the view was 2km, then hellfires and AA would have 2km range.

face it. we cant copy real life. it is impossible. but we should try to come as near as possible

update the map. but keep the requirements to a handlable amount. on kashan its possible
on qiunling even timewarping hell computers from outer space couldnt handle it.
