Engine :: Sea waves

[danil_kalina]

Could the sea waves interact with the ships and hover crafts by wallowing (ride on waves) them ?

[Anarchid]

are there actual waves in spring, as opposed to just graphics?

[PicassoCT]

No. Reason: Non, deterministic physics leave many players with a feeling for having been cheated when it came to succes.
You dont built 3 berthas and then watch in awe as every shot they fire always crashes into the huge waves, just because somebody micros that too good.
Theres a thin Line with ingame physix, and this line is were the new Battlefield "CC:Generals" might run into troubles.

Ships wobbling in water can be faked, like eg zeroK does it.
I know that because it gets spammed in lobby chat all the time.

[Beherith]

BA has wobbly ships too.

[knorke]

Can you get them to tip over entirely?

[Beherith]

Absolutely, by making them run into each other. The engine takes care of the rest. You can even go redneck epoch tipping with super engine bounce :D

[danil_kalina]

cool :D

I had some thoughts of making a tsunami effect, but it would be really tough to do. At least if it has to gather a lot of debris.
