Barrels collider

[haubitsi]

Find out this when we were testing stuff on the training server: http://www.youtube.com/user/spunkonion#p/u/4/h-nEXoewYwU

As you can see barrels don't collide with tanks (or with any objects at all), we can see a fancy result of it.

This needz some fixing, eh? I really don't wanna see samle34s mating with the Tigers on the live server...

(Thank you timc for recording these vids).

What was happening was 2 things.

A) Guns, such as the cmle were able to move right up to the tank, then deploy. The end of the cmle's gun barrel was then inside the tank and the tank woudl be destroyed in 1-2 shots.

A tank could roll right up to the side of the enemy tank, turn his turret so his gun barel is inside the other tank and then fire, bypassing the enemy tanks armour.

We didn't find any victim this didn't work on.

This video shows the same effect, but using a CMLE, this time detonating a tiger from the front.

I don't believe there is a new issue here.

I don't believe there is a new issue here.

It is not, would this be considered a TOS violation under "clipping", hopefully it would be enforced as well.

Hey we'd love to hit every single "wtf" thing in the game and eliminate all of them.

However, with so few guys it's not going to happen, so we prioritze based on urgency.

Getting a CaMle.38 to within clipping distance (ie: right next to it) of a Tiger tank (or any enemy tank) in an actual battle in the game world during a campaign, is so unlikely to actually happen (be possible under normal circumstances) that it naturally assumes a low priority.

There are things that we have to fix that are way further up the front of the queue than this is. That doesn't mean it isn't a valid complaint and something we don't want to fix. It just means it is way down the list if, like us, you find yourself with a list 10 times larger than the workforce you have to process that list with.

Ne c'est pas ?
