Why is it when a tank goes over a bump in the road it gets 10% damage, yet in the real world (with the Challenger 2 at least) they are design so that they dont get damage because of a hole in the road,I have seen a vid of one driving through somewhere, and flattening a car in the process with out taking any damage.

I know what you mean as the red marks appear on the screen but whenever it's happened to me there's nothing to repair, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't really inflict any damage, certainly not as much as 10%.

Hell, even an RPG to the front only needs literally a second or so repairing.

Damage by terrain was reduced a LOT by some updates in v0.5.

You see the red marks, but as DirtyHarry said, you don't get damaged at all.

yeah, i hardly manage it - it is really okay now, even with the abrams who dice somehow made more vulnerable to ground than to sabots...

How about the dirt bikes? Those things start burning after just a few seconds of driving off-road.

That's an exaggeration.

Definate exageration. Just don't be an idiot with them and you'll be fine. This means not trying to satisfy the Napoleon Dynamite "you go off any sweet jumps?" urge.

Is Nice!

I swear the red marks in vehicles thing was meant to have been removed in 0.4?

Cause it is sooooo annoying

I can still get my tank to blow up with no pilot, sitting completely still in an Archway on Basrah.

I dunno if that's a joke or a bug report. If it's the latter we need more information please.

wrt terrain damage from vehicles... they should harly take any now.. we dramatically reduced it.. you'll see the red marks, but the damage being done is like 1% in most cases.
