tank explosions

whenever i kill a tank with a sabot round, i am dissapointed to see nothing happen except the tank switch to its destroyed model. I suggest that when you kill a tank that there we a small cloud of dirt and debri flying and maybe have the turret pop off in the air.

I'd vote for when tanks are hit by sabot stay as is, but when destroyed by any other non penetrating ( explosive) round, to do this.

I think a lot of the explosions are indeed lack luster. They go from normal to pop...black. I'd like to see a flaming burst or cloud of dust or something besides the seemingly gif style explosion. It's not a big deal though, PR is at a great point now...so we will eventually see some polishing of these things after a while I bet.

What you're reporting is a bug, AFAIK -- sometimes things blow up with no sound or animation.

not a bug, cause if im at 250 meters to it, i wont hear it, but i should see a debri cloud.

Yeah sometimes when you kill something it just switches to the destroyed model with no explosion, it's a bug from BF2v. Also I never see the destroyed tank explode since my vision is blocked by barrel smoke anyway!

What I have on mind:
Flags remain - in strategic places (cities, factories etc.) - but they are not the priority. Some special building build by a commander are the objectives. The flags are just a way to move the front line (more places for building baces) and a way to gain more variety of stuctures. It's just an idea, but might be helpful.

?! Uncle Blues... I think wrong thread...

No explosions is something wrong with the engine... nothing we can do about it.

Looks awful, though..no "kaboom" "kapow", just a tank turning into dark scrap all of a sudden...

well if its the engine, that sucks.

i always liked seeing the turrets of t-72s pop off in Desert Combat in bf1942.

what about instead of a thing that only happens when you kill the tank, what if you see a huge dirt cloud where ever a tank round hits (the ground, a tank...)

Performance issues.

You can't have everything.

Is the BF2 engine getting worse over time or is it just me?

it's possible to see the turret pop off on a tank. I've done it before over and over again. If you aim for the smoke despensers on the sides of the abrams i think after about 3 hits the tank explodes and the turret flies up in the air.

i dont have recording programs to show it, but i'll try and take some screenies and post them.
