Ok, i'm sorry but it really does not make sense to me that a harraser or any of the other lighter vehicles have such a hard time goint up hills. These are supposed to be assault vehicles. Real assault buggies have more horse power than an F350 diesel. Now maybe a tank can't go up them, but the quads and the buggys should be able to rocket up those panzy hills.

Riiiiiight....excuses, excuses. Serisously though, it would be so much more fun if you could do some serious off roading in those things.

I haven't noticed much trouble going over anything except the steepest grades on my Wraith. I have to give the ground vehicle physics changes a big :thumbsup:

On the other hand, I haven't driven a Harrasser since I was pretty new, so I dunno about that. You can take decent drops and bumps in a quad now, and I think that on most continents, the amount of impassable terrain is about right.
You can climb better on steep hills by driving at the intersection of two slopes, and you can often get up faster if you don't drive straight up, but go at an angle.

Maybe Planetside is a tool of big oil companies trying to show us that Electric engines suck!!!!

But seriously, I agree, but if you wanna do some off-roading insanity get a wraith and go fast! It's great fun till you jump off a hill and slam into the upper branches of a tree (didn't see that tree there... crap!) Like 50 feet up or so... wish I'd gotten a screen shot of that one :)

maybe im just imagining things but they seem to be having a harder time going up hills since the megapatch

Delirare....don't lie to yourself. You've gain weight.:rolleyes:

Don't take my word for it though...I've only tried the wraith.

All I have to say, is dont even try driving an ANT in Solsar. I Have never had such a hard time driving a vehicle through any continent. There are just pits that come to points with VERY steep hills leading out of them, making them UNESCAPABLE pits to anyone that falls into them... Unless you are a Venu Max, stupid boosters... Anyways, I had to ditch my ANT within 30 seconds of coming through the warp gate. Ants have no pick up, and no horse power :) I now know why all the bases on Solsar are always at 10% or 0% power, because no one can get an ANT to them.

I think it's pretty much fine the way it is, they could use a slight power increase but i don't think they should be able to scale all the hills, some of those bitches are huge. :D
