Remove the trenches in Normandy map

Don’t ridicule my point, blame Gaijin instead on not paying attention on a underlying issue that’s not on their priority list (and won’t be regardless of this post).

im not ridiculing it at all. was simply an analogy for how it masks the issue without really fixing what went wrong.

its not as high of a priority as more premium T80U models yea…

No issue at all in that picture.

Tanks do have trench crossing limits - Tiger 1 limit is variously given as 2.3 or 2.5 meters.

Mk IV tank from WW1 is 4m (13 ft), M1 Abrahms is 9 ft (about 2.8m)

Consequences of heavily artificially nerfing traction to deal with poor map design.

The state of the churchill is incredibly irksome. Especially given one of the more notable losses (to my mind anyhow) was caused explicitly by it being able to navigate terrain that would bog down most other armour (and people too). Also was noted at being exceptionally good at hills.

Instead of actually fixing the issue of broken spots because of poor map design, let’s make it so all vehicles have bad traction.

Yeah. thats the whole point

just avoid them

That picture need a bit explication.
Im trying cross near the bunker section in straight line but suddenly my tracks was absorbed by the wood a then my tank just turn into the trench. Is like all wooden and surroding was extremly bad modelled.

Impossible if you try cap or fight in that zone.

It s me or some people is happy wtih the game is a crap bug fest???

Gaijin just do the same like in this area of Easten Europe. Just replace the trenchs for regular ground.
A small change but a big improvement for the game play.

Always the same in this zone of the map. Just remove that stupid and bad modeled trenches!!!

“The test range has trenches on it so you can learn how not to get stuck on them.” ought to be a wait screen tip.

Maybe need a tutorial how deal with the insane number of terrain bugs or hitboxes made with the ass in practically every map.

This is just a very old map, and it’s probably going to get a rework sooner or later, with all the trenches in the middle of the church flattened or gone for good.

If I remember correctly, tanks had alot traction and much better climbing ability in WT. But players complained about ‘ludicrously powerful positions’ players used to reach. You could climb alot hills and similar obstacles which you can’t nowadays. So this was nerved. Tank tracks have almost no grip anymore and you slide down slopes. Alot hills and interesting map zones were removed. Either directly or with offmap timers.

The modelling might not be great.
But those trenches (and same ones in other maps) are just brutal.

Until they fix the modelling, I agree the trenches should be removed.

Tanks have a max incline in their specs.
If the specs were correct, the whiners can just go pound sand.
If the specs were incorrect, Gaijin should have updated the tank in-game specs.

”Well these videos are clearly ai generated. Our tanks ingame traction is correct. Tanks should slide down hills with almost no slope and come to complete stop from even touching a small rock.”
