randir14 10 Posted August 4, 2009 It's very annoying driving full speed in a tank only to be stopped dead in my tracks by a bale of hay as if it were a boulder. Please change their destruction to something like a small bush, where you can run over it with ease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rothy 0 Posted August 5, 2009 agreed! I too ran into the same problem with a tank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirdup 0 Posted August 5, 2009 I'm going to agree simply on the grounds that this is the first time on any game forum that I haven't see it spelled "hey bails".... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjsoques 0 Posted August 5, 2009 I mean, I know a tank would eventually win against a bale of hay, but they aren't light and fluffy either. I think they can end up being between 0.5 to 1.5 tons depending on the hay and the moisture in it, and the size of the bale. I don't think a tank would just flow right through what is essentially a 1.5 ton wall that is higher than it's wheel plane to allow it to climb over. I think we should get the army R&D to perform an experiment for us to finalize this issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maturin 12 Posted August 5, 2009 If we can knock over huge oak trees effortlessly, we can make a cylindric bale roll away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjsoques 0 Posted August 5, 2009 If we can knock over huge oak trees effortlessly, we can make a cylindric bale roll away. I see your point :) Just you tube'd a video of a M-41 tank plowing down a large tree with no problem...a bale of hay should be no problem! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phunkmaz 3 Posted August 5, 2009 +1 They should also fix that slow-downs if you drive through small trees, bushes or fences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steakslim 1 Posted August 5, 2009 I wouldn't mind if the bales stopped the tank, but like trees, I'd like to see the tank basically crush them gradually after making impact, or some effect. It's a shame we can't roll them out of the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Theres something even more funny than the hay bales but im not sure about their english name, i think its sunflowers? I dont remember where i found them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VKing 12 Posted August 5, 2009 The funny thing is that if you shoot the bales they explode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no use for a name 0 Posted August 5, 2009 after running a tractor and bailing hay (yes, for real) I can say that a tank would have no problem at least pushing them around; but in all reality it would probably destroy them. I've used a tractor to push 1.5 ton (1,500-pound) bales around with no problems, but most of the time the twine would brake and it would fall apart The bales in the game are a little bigger (probably ~2 tons); but it still wouldn't phase a tank IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
