the science behind this is not really that hard. gaijin is doing something perpetually wrong in ground mode. and i dont know where this fault is coming from.
a corner of a building, is the corner of the building. there is nothing beyond it. however, on alot of buildings in abandoned town and ardennes, alot of buildings have a hit model that extends beyond the corner of buildings.
and this needs to stop. new maps also start to suffer from this fault.
“Proximity issues” have always been there to some degree . . . what you see, what the other player sees and what the game sees is not always the same same. This accounts for what a lot of players that holler about when “He shot me THRU a ROCK!!”, hill etc. They thought they were in cover, but to the other player and the game, enough of their tank was showing for a kill shot to happen.
Another common instance I find in tanks are rocks & other obstacles that you hit and grind to a halt when you clearly saw room to pass without issue. And then there are the trees . . . you pass a tree with at least a foot of open space, but suddenly BOOM! . . you halt and the tree falls right front of you slowing your progress immensely when you should have passed with ease. At most, you may have grazed the tree/bark and it may have leaned to one side slightly. But what we often get is a head on collision mechanic that is unnecessary. All of these things and other issues seem to be directly related to some problems with proximity. Location . . . where you are exactly relative to objects, other players and so forth. I am not smart enough to know what might cause these things, lag/latency, calculations in real time by the game or what. But it is there, and fairly regularly . . not just in ground either, you can see similar problems in the air and even naval. Just needs some sort of tweaking I guess, but again . . I don’t code, I just play the game and go by what I see. Just be nice if they would tighten things up a bit for better continuity as we play . . . it would be very nice to trust completely in what you see on your screen . . . just my opinion anyway
