I stopped using the Windsor II ages ago because its just prone to random inexplicable turning and flipping

Here is a recent example (watch Canuck's Windsor II in about turn 5, it flips for no reason at all, defying the laws of physics)

S278998

What purpose does the Windsor II serve except to randomly punish people?

I vote to change all the Windsor IIs to Windsor I and abolish this POS off the face of Evan

Windsor II is the best handling gun platform in the game. You're nuts.

I love the Windsor II. Its suspension is a whole lot more tolerant than that crappy Windsor I.

Random bouncing a turning oddness is far from limited to one chassis. I think it is more connected to terrain. I have had buzzers , ambulances and boxvans all do standing backflips. The box van even jumped off the bridge, i still have photos somewhere.

What I dislike about them is the typical need to strip every side of quite tough armor off them because they flip around while you ahmmer them. Most Windy IIs I kil need at least 2-3 sides stripped before they die just from the spinning around.

As is with a few chasis as mentioned, take a BPU out and watch its uncontrolled physics, get a handle on it and nothing can beat them. Removing a chasis because it ' handles eratically ' rather than trying to solve the problem, just dilutes the amount of vehicles we already have, Windy II been around a long time and is a well used and liked platform.

Just because you have had a bad experience with one doesnt mean they should be completely removed, just stop using them if you detest them so much.

lol, I wasn't actually agreeing with the abolish thing. I was just commenting on their typical "physics". True, the BPU is similar in the jumping around.

I would prefer the problem to be fixed but that would take work

Would be better to remove the Windy II IMHO

or

Have Windsor Is spawn in the wild as often as Windsor IIs to give peeps a choice

Either option is easier to program I would have thought

I like the Windsor II. I use them quite a bit, and yes, they tend to glitch in places, but I have to wonder if that may be the terrain's fault, as I have noticed them glitching in very specific places.

Sam, can we get some of your developerly input on this?

There aren't enough reasons for small camps to exist as it is, the Windsor is one of the few exclusives for camps, we need to be adding to that list, not removing from it.

  Other than the fact that he went down a hill sideways, and flipped at the bottom, yea, absolutely no reason at all to flip there.  :rolleyes:

This is beyond retarded.

Did you even bother watching the recording you posted?

He hits that slope which is pretty steep at a really bad angle, then lands on his side, bounces a bit and flips over.

How it was defying the laws of physics I don't know...
