Grass becoming useless for cover at distance

[DanD123 1]

This was an issue with ARMA 2 where people would be in ghillie suits etc, but as soon as the distance became too far they would stick out like a saw thumb . I am just posting this because it is exactly the same in ARMA 3 and this removes from the use of cover if you can just see people miles away with no problems presented .

Anybody know if anything is being done about this ? I understand there will be performance issues if the grass was constant at massive ranges but maybe there is an alternative ?

My guess is that it will be the same. maybe less bushes disappearing from afar to aliviate the issue somewhat.

its even worst when you set the terrain detail to low because even a bigger area (low-medium distances) becames clear to easily spot anyone, while people on higher settings cant see shit at low-medium distances (which is great and immersive).

for what i mentioned the quick solution would be the details be locked high for everyone so at least everyone would be at the same level of fairness.

There already is an alternative. Players "sink" into ground at distance so that you can't see them as easy. Also check this: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?148861-Rendering-grass-at-long-distances-My-thoughts-about-it

sore thumb is the correct idiom.

I'd like to see them experiment a little with this, would making a unit semi transparent at xx distance when lying down and not moving be a better.

Also would it be possible to have the grass at least appear in the scope of a weapon.

I also think alpha of the whole unit should be considered and also blurry the unit / object that it fits the blurryness of the texture!

its too easy to see people - they stick out. in reality you should always sit there and watch with a glass if someone runs but if he is laying down you shouldnt be able to see him so easily.

I reccomend looking into "Minoza"'s post , it's a really good suggestion and I hope the developers take it on board !
