Highly unlikely I’ll ever get around to it, but just a note – author name would be useful. *Especially* if the title is an Undead Horse Trope like that…

Feel free to point out where anyone said something like *that*. However given what their designs tended to be *before* events in Europe inspired some hasty revisions – M2 Medium and whatever multi-turreted monstrosity the T1/M6 Heavy was originally conceptualised as – *before* events in Europe inspired some hasty revisions, well, confidence isn’t high.
Their “fundamental research” on diverse subsystems was good; it was putting those together into a decent tank that seems to have been a bit difficult before empirical evidence from across the Pond gave some pointers.

Try 512 Kbits/s to 1 Mbps – with the extra *advantage* of 300ms ping… Only takes a few days to download the full client…

Office net goes up to 8Mbps, so time to put it to some use.

I thought WG agreed that they couldn’t use deformable terrain though?

Oh man no smoke please. It would be so lame seeing the entire battlefield full with smoke. The bushes are more than enough to hide behind. And besides it could be an FPS drop fest as well.

@Guardian54: Such simplicity only works when you have barren surfaces without decoration (houses, bushes etc.). In addition, this would create new work for the hitbox and collisionbox related calculations. Displaying a crater (ie a change in the ground polygons) is not the real issue here, actually handling it is.

Anyway, as pointed out above, you reveal to know nothing at all about this matter since you bring up C&C TS as an example, which handles both the display and handling of terrain entirely different from WoT.

If they increase the texture sizes or allow for more textures to be loaded at once, it will hurt those with little GPU memory.
