The real anomaly is that there is an elefant on the Channel front....

Sometimes you have to compromise.

 

I'm using Elefants to represents the clifftop blockhouse artillery, that were defending Dieppe in August 1942.

This particular one, has a taste for Higgins and will do anything to get one.

 

 

 

 

The only answer I could find, to make this tank stick to its asigned target, was to keep it below the cliff edge and out of sight of the boats. This would stop it entering the sea to chase them.

The Germans, aren't the only ones who like a dip in the ocean.

 

 

Tanks were sent from the beach head, to attack Stugs, bombarding the landing craft from the cliff top. All were destroyed by the Stugs, but one.

 

 

Churchill was smarter than the rest and decided on a seabourne attack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Despite rolling heavilly in the swell, Churchill carries on, down the beach, to take on the Stugs.

 

 

 

 

Churchill picks off Stug, despite heavy rolling, after about a dozen shots.

 

 

 

AI controlled vehicles don't recognize cliff edges or sea, but they give a very good boat movement, once in the water. Better than boats.

This rather comical action is a serious bug and I hope it is in the pipeline to be sorted.

[NEED TRACK REPLAY]

 

Elephant swim 2 .trk

 

Good luck with that. It plays different each time.

Some feedback would be handy.

 

 

If the track is no good, I will do a dedicated simpler version, to coax the Elephants into the water.

Amazing stuff

[NineLine]

Sorry I will take a look.

I am not seeing the issue in the track, if you are still seeing it, could you make a new, short version please and thank you.

Infinite traction.trk

 

Managed to grab an instance. 

 

AI doesn't care about cliffs, they will go up any slope.

@NineLine

 

 

That track is a year old and completely buggered.

 

I ran the mission again and the Elephants showed no interest in their original targets, the Higgins boats, so I ran them into the sea, where they drowned.

Quite sad really.

 

So it looks like it has healed up over the past year.
