Cool, I hated when I intentionally drove into grass to flatten it out but then it would just get straight again like a 50 ton tank didn't pass on top of it

Since today's update, the client keeps crashing ...

Do not make it into a session - it crashes.

It's downloading now. I am very glad to hear about new spawn point protection maps. I haven't seen any "protected zone" in SB but it may be just my mistake not to figure it out. If these zones does not exist in SB GF as I noticed, then please add them to simulation as well. The thing is spawn camping and moreover AF camping (while we have AFs close to battle field and planes cannot get enough altitude and speed before enemies reach their AF, like in the first 2 minutes of the game, this is a serious problem) is much much more immersive breaker, game breaker and arcadish than putting those protected zones.

 

Thanks again for your hard and good work as well as your new 'more user friendly politics' (as far as I observed).

new update is awesome. the grass stays flat where the tracks were... i cant even imagine how much of an task it was to optimize that for the players not to have any performance issues. well done!!

Dear grass, for some time now you have been the thorn in my eyes, blocking my view at every turn.

Ha! But no longer, I will have the last laugh, as I trundle over you in my 50-tonne tank. Mwahahahaha.

Sweet A return of spawn protection

[Bernstein999 35]

The grass is fine !

 

But I dont like the Respawn protection mechanics, is strange...

 

You should put minefields on the respawn zones, with the mines visible only for the defending team.

 

If an atacker enters the zone, is by his own risk...

Cool I will be able to make crop circles -_-

Does that also mean that jet exhaust will flatten it out too?

I hope it also fixed the trees that get back into position once you shot them down.

I prefer minefields as well. It's ideally better than an artificial protection zone but still protection zones are better than we have nothing there and getting unstoppable frustration and rage imo. Minefields would be great for ALL modes (AB/RB/SB and especially SB GF). Also airfield AAA range and strength should be top and deterrent in SB GF.

Does this mean the map rotation issue in arcade ground forces has been addressed?     Won't ever be able to see what kind of protection there is if all I do is see the same 7 maps over and over again. (jungle, Sinai, and Carpathians are part of the 7)

[swiss_mosquito 20]

The game is crashing after every battle I play. Mac.

I hear that APFSDS feels different now as well, was something changed about it not posted in the changelog?

 

[Viking_monster@psn 223]

Crash, crash, crash.  WTG, gaijin...

[DRAGON_SK 571]

May I ask if there was something changed on the maps like Kursk or Sinaj for tank RB ? there seem to be new variants what is always cool but are the first , larger maps of them still in rotation ? I only had played the small, bad variants (subjective opinion) of Sinaj and Kursk from the patch. Please do not make more maps even smaller - now it is possible to see from spawn to the enemy spawn...., some people like large maps, I love Sim battles for it but people can't always play their desired vehicles in there.

Still there is a problem with bushes and grass. When you shoot it, it goes back to its possition
