About trees in Steelbeast
« on: November 24, 2015, 12:44:54 PM »
In steelbeast.com there is new topic about trees...  I picked up two replies, that new person got as answer.
Original topic is here. http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showthread.php?t=22298

Well the Map Editor lets you use different types of tress.

Some are pretty small and are no obstacle, some are more substantial.

Drive too fast and hit a substantial one and you will cause damage/casualties.

The only way to change a given tree type in a scenario is to edit the map.

Quote from: Ssnake;279990
Individual trees can all be knocked over with a sufficiently heavy tank (note however that not every tree can be knocked over by every armored vehicle, e.g. compare M1 and M113 or ASLAV to see the differences).

Forest trees (either the deciduous or the coniferous type) can USUALLY be knocked over, but there's a random variation in play which makes some trees much tougher. This would abstract the effect that trees tend to entangle their branches with their neighbors so that you might have to deal with two or three trees simultaneously when that happens. We can't visualize this, but at least the tactical effect is the same.

The tanker's rule of thumb is that if you don't fit between trees, they are usually so small that you can run them over. If you can't run them over, they are usually far enough apart that you can wiggle through and don't need to knowck them over.

Knocking over trees, as impressive as it was to army spectators as early as 1915 in the first trials, has never been a favorite pastime for tankers. They block your view, they can seriously wound exposed crew members and damage external equipment, or strip off your gear.
