Why my tanks are so slow ?

[IRRE_Golgoth21]

Hello

 

What are the settings for a fast tank column ? Mine, despite a 50 km/h set in the waypoint set up are realy slow. Very very slow, below 10 km/h. I Have 10 tanks in a column. and 3 column, each one with its own path

 

Any clue ?

 

Thanks in advance.

~S~ Golgoth,

 

Are you using, or have you tried a different setting of the MCU Command Formation? I'm fairly certain that there is information available out now about the various differences of each one. ~S~

Which tank, i think a heavy tank would not go that fast. 50 kmh might work on a good road but not on cross country.

Jacko..... i wrote 10 km/h, or even slower.

I will try jupp's solution.

[IRRE_Golgoth21]

I've tested jupp's solution and i experienced some troubles. I start with a command formation "set direction and St... (whatever, i can't see the end of the word)"  but it seems to work whenever it wants. And if i ask to change direction in the waypoint settings, it doesn't work.  this drives me crazy.

 

 

If i set "off road collumn", it works but slow, slow, slow,

 

I'm lost...

I just wondered what happens if you reduce the column to 4 tanks.

I just wondered what happens if you reduce the column to 4 tanks.

I'm wondering the same. Offroad Column works with 10 tanks.

 

I think i'm experiencing a bug with ME. I will investigate tonight.

Okay, it works with  "set direction and St..." but when i give the order to change direction, the leader goes well but the team-mates do some silly manouvers. (like 360 turns) before they follow the new direction took the leader and this leads to some crashes.

 

Another issue is that you can't go from "offrroad columnn" to  "set direction and St...", it does'nt work. The vehicles stop and turn-off their engine.  The reverse is not true, one can switch from  "set direction and St..." to "offroad column".

Also check the terrain up close. If they are moving up a hill, they will be very, very slow....

[IRRE_Golgoth21]

Okay, my feedback

 

if you use "set direction and st...", this command formation permits the vehicles to override the speed limits, except the tanks. It works so well that you can see the vehicles jumping on the fields escpecially on summer and automn maps.

Aside: Here is how the Vehicle: Set Direction and Stop works:

 

All the vehicles in the formation turn simultaneously to the direction specified in the AY field of the formation command basic properties. The vehicles then stop. For example, a column of tanks can turn and face an enemy on their flank.
