Agreed! No complaints with the new ground objects.

Yeah. That's just weird. It would still be nice to have smooth curves for roads and railroads. I wonder if 45* bends are due to limits to IL2's maps, or due to vehicle AI?

But, many calculations, like base speed, cornering speed, braking and acceleration rates, and travel path, can be made when the mission loads. Once "locked in" they shouldn't tax system resources that much during the mission.

Unfortunately. It's not a matter of improving what's already there, it's a matter of adding an entirely new element to the game. Actual AI programming for ground vehicles would probably be fairly simple if it was already there.

No. Specifying more than two Waypoints isn't necessary, although it would be nice to have. I'm just asking for the ability to set speed to some level less than maximum for the entire run.
For realistic cornering behavior, mission builders could set maximum speed to maximum cornering speed.
No need to mess with the physics of actual ground vehicle movement - like acceleration and deceleration rates, traction, inclines, or centripetal forces during turns.
