You must have done something wrong; I found that the tanks from winflyrs pack for instance had entries ranging up to 96 meters and I never had a crash because of it.. (although many for other reasons )

For the strafers among us I found some more goodies:

If you add  "Explode              WagonWoodExplosives "  under the // Panzer properties to your vehicle entry in technics.ini, you will see a nice explosion when vehicle is destroyed. I have personally added it to some trucks and a few tanks. But be aware: if the distance between vehicles is not big enough, one hit will lead to "domino D-day" for your columns.. 

If you add  "Soldiers         2" to a vehicle under the // Moving you will see crew running for cover when under attack. Might work with larger numbers and\or other objects as well; never tested that..

Auuwww...cool tricks yo.
But I'm not sure exactly where the entry goes...the "if you add/under" bit ...would you please give me the actual line as an example, (before I go upsetting Mr launcher again). Regards.

OK, great, thanks for that Panzerkill. All clear now. I will give this a try.
 

[butch]

Awesome results...

Before...(note colunm is very tight).


After...(note the extra and differing space between vehicles) much more realistic

 
Thanks PanzerKill.

[butch]

Just love seeing those little guys running!

 

[Epervier]

... much more realistic

This is not a certainty ... but I prefer!
