vehicles getting stuck in ridiculous areas

[chief]

Like tanks getting stuck in tumbleweeds. This is RIDICULOUS. Almost as ridiculous as how long with has been going on for. ED get you SH-- together please

[Northstar98]

For me, the main problem is vehicles driving into small rivers and then not being able to drive out of them, even if it's only a tiny incline.

 

I think that the problem is that vehicle dynamics model is very simplified (same goes for ships and definitely submarines), I won't get into here, but there's a fair amount of stuff...

 

I don't have much hope for it getting fixed until we see higher fidelity/full fidelity vehicles.

I see this issue a lot playing CA on a public mp server and it needs fixing. Saw a tank that had made it's way into a totally enclosed high walled back garden of a villa on the PG map come on ED give combined arms some attention and more people would get into it.

looks like still EA since 8 years ... :o)

Please give feedback but make it constructive, sweary rants will get deleted

 

If you want to create a bug report please do with a short track replay.

 

Work on AI is not a CA issue it is a core dcs issue and is being worked on and improved.

 

thanks

I agree that vehicles get stuck while driving over tumbleweeds, bushes and even small road barriers not higher than 30 cm or so. Even tanks get stuck as well. It's also quite often impossible to crush a fence and break through. You're left with no other choice than driving around until you find an open gate or a road where no fence is stopping you from driving through. It limits the ground warfare heavily. With more work being done on the Combined Arms module I really hope to see that fixed.

I personally love the CA module and have it included in almost all the missions on the Cold War server where the ground warfare plays a decisive role in completing the objectives. It's just that sometimes it becomes annoying when you get stuck over a bush with enemy tanks approaching you and you're just sitting ducks.

 

Hope this gets fixed. Godspeed!

Can the dev's just make these passable objects? I feel like that would solve a lot.

Interesting thing is that different maps, have different objects which are solid.

You can go through a lot of objective, if you let the autopilot drive the vehicle

[Northstar98]

Yeah, AI vehicles seem to pass through obstructions. 

 

At least on the Caucasus, things like fences (both chain-link and concrete(?)) can be broken down by driving through them with a vehicle powerful enough.

Not true for all maps. 

 

They won't get 'stuck' in Syria, but they have a really hard time navigating around the shrubs and orchard tree's. They will drive in circles.

Oh yeah, AI pathfinding across the board can be quite poor and its basically map wide (obviously maps with certain objects and a certain density are worse offenders).

 

With the AI driving through obstructions, I was referring to what Shadow said, in that for vehicles under direct player control, some objects are essentially solid (requiring you to destroy them before you can cross them, an example is fences; you can ram them down and sections will fall and disappear), but for AI vehicles these obstructions aren't solid - their collision model doesn't register for them, allowing them to drive straight through them, and they won't appear destroyed.
