It’s clear this has now been addressed and will hopefully be in the next patch, I would imagine the massive FPS increase as allowed them to now have a permanent landscape (i.e. cant increase decrease tree amounts), which the guy working on ground vehicles would of insisted on, you see if you had hidden your tank in the woods but your opponent can’t see the woods because he's turned them off it kind of destroys any idea of having ground vehicles that can be used in a simulation/ground war. So, by introducing drivable vehicles we will have a more realistic sim with tree collision and a permanent landscape so I think that it’s great news.

Wouldn't a solution to this problem be tree settings as a server parameter? Different servers would support different tree densities and everyone would be on a level playing field then?

"sorry mates, cant play on ATAG, i dont have the pc to run the trees". not reliable.

I guess its still a long way till we have our tree collisions...

As i have seen, there are more than enough (UK)Tree collisions here!

Am I the only one reading irony in trees post with a huge smile?
