I read a post about being able to reduce the stock amount of tanks and vehicles to your own set amount.I also here this helps with the lag issue.Anyone no the command and how to set that into your CFG.In a 16 player server playing base assualt i love the vehicles but there is to many of them in there for that number of players

I agree. I think the vehicle count should be less. BF1942 has a good amount. COD UO is loaded.

Not sure how, but I am sure if you find what the default is you can test some cvars. You should also then have to limit the respawn of the vehicles as well though.

/EDIT: Found this at IWN
yer]No there is no way to tone down the number of vehicles in UO without just turning them off.

It would be fairly easy for a mod to do something like this.

Before you start complaining that the game sux as is remember you and everyone else have only been playing for one day. We have been playing for over a year and saw no need to include this feature.

I will say though that I have noticed that peoples initial reaction to the vehicles changes dramatically after just a short time playing. I observed it when we first put vehicles in and also when the VIS guys first started playing. Because of the novelty of the vehicles that is all anyone uses and it seems very hectic (especially with the way I saw people driving jeeps last night smile.gif ) After a week or so people stopped being so vehicle centric and the games balanced out between infantry and vehicles a lot more. Just wait until people figure out how easy it is to own tanks when you are infantry.
Guess we wait till a mod is made.

I certainly was not complaining about the vehicles, but I do think having 20 + vehicles in a game of 20 people is a bit much.

I agree. Thats what I came here today to look for. To many vehicles on my 26 man. Maby something that limits them or slows the vehicle respawn. Just an idea and Im not complaining at all...cause this game rocks.

I excluded the 'medium' tanks from our server. MUCH better now. I wish I could have had a cvar to limit the actual number, but this works for now.

Want to try it out? Our IP 67.18.70.4

The problem with excluding the medium tanks is that they make up the brunt of the tanks each level and those dam big ones are so slow to drive.I did turn off my Big tanks which helps a bit but limiting the tanks down to 3 or 4 per side would be awesome.I am sure a mod will be out soon for that

hay guys yes there are way to many tanks

but also the problem is the respawning of the tanks

they spawn back way to fast.

i would suggest that there be a time limmit or when they a destroyed they stay that way
