Collidable trees

[Dave317]

Any idea if the trees are collidable and if the AI will be able to 'see' through them?

[Buzzles]

It'll be like NTTR, so definitely yes for collidable. I don't know about LoS.

 

FWIW, you can make it so the AI can't see through them in 1.5, it's a lua setting. It's just unoptimised and will really hurt your FPS unless you have a killer PC.

That's great news. Can't wait to fly the Gazelle low down between the trees.

NTTR have collidable trees and you can hide from enemy los behind them. It will be same for Normandy. This will be a real game changer for helicopters operations because there's not much trees in Nevada, but in Normandy, they'll become part of the tactical planning.

...and you can hide from enemy los behind them.

So you say that AI helicopters can`t detect you through trees in Nevada? AI have no LoS through trees?

[BaD CrC]

Not sure about AI helicopters, but you can sit next to a AAA unit without being shot as long as you remain behind tree line.

Can confirm they are collidable in Normandy and provide a very dramatic result. Strafing just became a bit more challenging as you not only have to avoid terra firma!

The article mentions that trees seem to block line-of-sight as well. Can this be confirmed?

FYI, I answered the collidable tree question on the first day that the Closed Alpha was available.

And the LOS was also confirmed in Mudspike's review. Can't dream of a better map for choppers.

Made a short test, certainly looks like it :thumbup:
