Allow Bushes to be Turned Off in Graphics

What is?

I was saying that even non-fully covered vehicles end up fully covered with proper tactics

Oh so they’re tactical now? That’s a good thing then; to be tactical?

What are you saying here exactly

I’m saying you are making an argument now that use of bushes, in conjunction with the map foliage, is tactical. And to play tactically is good is it not? I’m saying you’re close to undermining your bush-hate whether you realize it or not.

I don’t think you understand quite what the complaint against bushes is. The problem is you can’t reasonably obtain them f2p.

Oh so we’re backtracking now. Ok.

Yeah sucks you can’t.

Backtracking? Can you explain? I think I’ve been very clear here.

Playing tactical is good if players begin with equal tools, or assymetric but equal tools.

Because bushes are only available through the battlepass (not-viable for anyone who does not play 2-3 hours every day and also gacha) or through real money purchase, they should not impact gameplay – ergo: it should be possible to turn them off.

For them to be permitted to impact gameplay they must be obtainable in a similar manner as an ace crew. Now, I hate crew skills with passion (P-51C10 or F6F-5 with and without crew skills is a very different plane when it comes to high-energy dogfights) it is worth mentioning that my progress towards unlocking an ace crew is equivalent between:

  1. Play 1 hour each day for 7 days. (7 hour total)
  2. Play 3.5 hours on saturday and sunday each (7 hour total)
  3. Play 7 hours during a crazy saturday marathon session (7 hours total)
  4. Play 1 hour each saturday evening for 7 weeks (7 hour total)
  5. Play 1 hour once per month for 7 months (7 hour total)
  6. Play 1 hour once per season for 1.75 years (7 hour total)
  7. Play once per year for 7 years (7 hour total).

The later examples are reduction to absurdity, but they demonstrate the difference excellently:

  1. Crew skills can be progressed whenever you want, in any manner, at any time of day, in any order of days.
  2. Crew skills can be progressed with as many breaks/gaps between gameplay as you need without losing progress
  3. Crew skills are obtained in a deterministic, predictable manner (you get exactly what it says on the box, no gacha).

I’d be fine with keeping the gacha, but presently battlepass violates the first two principles (you must play a specific amount each day in a very specific way where if you take a break you lose all accumulated progress).

I dont mind grinding for stuff in OSRS because it satisfies points 1 and 2. I could buy bonds to skip those grinds, but it’s not the only way to obtain progress in a way that respects me as a consumer and as a player.

Battlepasses don’t respect consumers and players due to their FOMO nature.

I agree with that.

Entirely ignoring the obvious effect of bushes breaking up the image, have people forgotten that these things… block thermals???
