History tends to repeat itself.
No cliping rule is here for long time. It was always ignored up to some limit, some of turrets will always clip unless they are just placed on box, which is boring designwise and also boring for game. Some might remeber old HV fights which was more about replacing turrets over and over than about fighting.
First Gladiator took this a bit beyond common ignoring and it was solved and production ended. Then I redesigned it into what you call fin design. I have to give some credit to @A.F.T too, its based on his homers placement on stick. It was completly ok as turret clips but there is still a lot of turret visible. Of course its stronger than placing them on box thats why everyone started to use it too…then it was taken too far again…
Rules are always ignored to some degree, and thats good thing. It creates some space for fun.
For example you can hardly create cover for artilery, that barrel will always clip.
Problem is that sooner or later someone takes this too far and old rule is suddently being enforced. Cant we just continue with ignoring rules happily and use common sence?
While I fully understand why this rule is here, its stupid rule if enforced to 100%.
Say hello to good old Minith, ilegal tank. Yes if someone will be under it or a bit to side artilery will clip. What other fun you going to ruin guys?
Only reasonable way how to solve this is what someone suggested here. Make placement box for turret large enough so it wont clip ever.
P.S. Please just dont try to turn this “ignoring of rules” it would be embarassing. You know im talking about tolerance. Should be placement of turrets on this Minith ilegal? Really?
