Make turret fly high when the Russian tanks destroyed

Looks like the reality seems more aggressive than our imagination after all

Not really possible in BF2, not without making it happen every single time a tank is destroyed. Ironically BF2 was coded with an "Overkill destruction effect", where it would play a unique explosion effect (with the turret flying off) and remove the turret etc from the tank, if when the tank was destroyed it was damaged with a weapon that had so much force/power that it would trigger the "Overkill". It worked in the BF2 Demo and there is an option to play it in the BF2Editor, but for whatever reason, has never worked in the full game...

Thanks for the detailed explanation! Too bad it can't be realized though, it would have been quite a sight.

Very interesting explanation. what COULD be done is make a new destroyed tank model with the turret sitting on the side right? Dont know If it will have the same effect as having a turret go flying but i suppose it would at least "look" like it did. lets just keep this to the Russian tanks

Fun fact: In reality this will happen if rocket hits the ammunition in the tank
Not only Russian tanks
But because of its loading system it more often happens in T-72s and some other russian tank models

Does anyone remember the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942? The T-72 turret would fly into the air when the vehicles was destroyed every time. It was funny when an A-10 strafed you and your flying turret would avenge you.

Basically the gibbing system from idtech engines, it would be really cool if it could be made functional.
