Trees as theatre?

[speed-of-heat]

Hi All,

is there a way to get the trees in this sim to actually "hurt", I'm pretty sure you aren't meant to by able to fly straight through them :)

[muamshai]

maybe in the next DCS module? :)

Now it is not possible. In future yes.

Atm the only way trees hurt is to hide a coupla ZSU's in the Forest.....

[Skydoc]

Exactly! Or behind. The real issue is that although you cannot see them thru the trees, they definitely see you...regardless of how thick the forest is. So it negates any tactical advantage to sliding form clearing to clearing and doing pop up attacks unless there is no forest in front of you.

 

Sadly, i have learned to avoid using trees at all, in fact, I make a pint of setting up attacks where there are none because of the one way mirror effect they currently have.

 

Love to see that fixed some time, but in the overall context of this great game, its a minor zit on your hot runway model girlfriend's behind - you learn to go with it!

Yepp, trees are just eye candy and serve no real purpose ingame, except blocking the players view. :D

 

I was hoping for something like this when first firing up BS:

Wrong helicopter - the Ka-50 is not this light.

:D

no, i didn't expect to strap myself into a virtual BO-105 when there's a KA-50 on the product box. But i would guess KA-50 pilots make use of tactical terrain features just as other helicopter crews do. At least for me, colidable and AI LOS breaking trees are not a bonus in a military helicopter simulation.

don't get me wrong I love this sim :) but at a minimum I would want the trees to block the AI LOS... and preferably my airframe... I guess this goes onto the wish list...
