JohnO Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Just to add my 2 cents, installed with no problems so far. Ran a scenario nothing to report. Went smoothly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewood Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 This might be a placebo effect, but the game seems to be running much more efficiently.Changes from my previous forays with 3.011:1) On re-install, I put SB on an SSD2) I am now using the 64bit version vs 32bitEither way, it runs a lot better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotareneg Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Updated the terrain rendering to better handle low light conditions. However, this means that it gets REALLY DARK now. Things look better during dusk and down. though. The "glowing grass" at night is gone, but there's still no twilight: the ground and vehicles are completely dark just before sunrise or after sunset: Also, the Leo 2A5A2-DK's cloaking device is working great now! :thumbup: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted December 23, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2014 The release notes might need a review....I thought 1 flavour of T-72 using this ammo might be a mistake. T-72B (early) is the omitted entry regarding the 3BM-42M ammo. Pg 16 All I can say is that the T-72B and T-72B(early) are usually referred to collectively as "T-72B". And both of them do not have the BM-42M in the game, what the release notes says isn't as important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer_Leader Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Question: Were any changes made to the T-90S armour model for 3.023? I remember a discussion that the T-90S may have been more vulnerable than it should have been (sorry, can't find the source discussion). I can't see reference to any changes to the T-90S armour model in the Release Notes.3.023 is a very comprehensive update by the way. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted December 23, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2014 The T-90 is no different protection wise AFAICR, there was no error there. The only error was with the name of the vehicle (T-90S). But yes, if it doesn't say it in the release notes then it didn't happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A test scenario is not an actual scenario, but a scenario created with as few vehicles as possible which make it easy to see the behavior, isolate it, and debug it.

Members Ssnake Posted December 23, 2014 Members Share Posted December 23, 2014 Firing through buildings won't get "fixed" anytime soon. As a fundamental design choice, computer-controlled units will only fire if they have a line of sight to the target. Firing on a target that the computer can't see when pulling the virtual trigger requires contextual knowledge, that "the target is there" even though it can't be seen, and a reasonable assessment that the chosen ammunition will still do damage to teh target after going through the camouflage, and that going through the camouflage won't create unacceptable collateral damage (which in itself is a big can of worms).I'm not saying that you demand the impossible, but it's quite high up the scale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your explanation! It will be fixed in future, I believe. Anyway, eSim team completed a great job, each update makes this sim much better! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The second screenshot suggests that the M1 detected you and perhaps was tracking you as you went from his left to his right.If he had a fire solution (the range didn't change much) then the APFSDS round can quite happily punch through those types of buildings and still cause pretty catastrophic "terminal effects" esp. at what seems a pretty short (under maybe 700m) range and hitting the vehicle's side?If you were quite a distance away and maybe moving through substantial (multi-storey) buildings say in a city then its unlikely the M1 would have acquired you and if it had the rounds probably wouldn't have hit / caused damage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will provide a report if detect it in future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Leader Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 But yes, if it doesn't say it in the release notes then it didn't happen. Roger, thanks. The T-90 is no different protection wise AFAICR, there was no error there. OK, so as far as eSim is concerned the T-90 armour model is all correct? I'm sure I'd read previously here that there were concerns (appreciate it doesn't help that I can't find the original discussion). If it is, then I can stop worrying and move on.

We are aware that it is a little thinner in the area of the driver's hatch than it should be, but that is because the older T-90 model and will be improved at some point if/when the model is updated. However this issue is not a major one, the tank would still die when shot there by modern ammo, but it might make a difference with older ammo or at extreme ranges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RENEGADE-623 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 should it say 3.023 up top or 3.002 still up top? I did the install but still says 3.002 on top right corner of menu screen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
