Vehicle status look...

[General Dragosh]

Well this was brought up before in suggestions, this thread is about how people would think about it...

Well the big question to u people out there...

If a tank would be destroyed in real life it wouldn't just "blow" up, it would actually be damaged beyond repairs... so the question is would people like to see the death static model of a tank (in game) that it is now or would they like so see a really damaged static instead of a "blow up" static that is all black...

The tank Model(and every other vehicle) in game can have just 2 models of itself as a whole vehicle:

One is the Working vehicle model

The Other model is the blown up

(in other words a vehicle can have only a "working" model and a "broken" model)

This would add to the realism and move away from the bf2 vanilla feeling where u just shot 3 rockets at a tank and it would blew up in a spectacular animation by having its turret fly away somewere ...

I think that the main problem if you make the wreck model only a damaged tank, it will still have this "just damaged" look even if you blow a JDAM on it.

But I agree that the wreck should look less "nuked".

You are kinda stuck at one extreme or another in most cases, saddly.

I don't mind the current blown up look, though I know you mean its getting tired to look at the same model everytime you blow up a tank..
Though would be awesome if there were more "broken models" than just the same, so it gets random everytime you kill a tank, and perhaps you could make some new models with tank shell hole in the side, flames at the turret rear, snail wheel (word?) fallen off, turret cannon cracked.. All those kinda things, though if it is possible to make diffrent death models appear in the first place..

make the tanks exploding look like the one on COD4 single player, on the mission 'War Pig' i think, that would be entertaining!

Nice idea and I would agree with it if there were 3 possible models for each vehicle but there isn't. So the amount of work needed to do this for every vehicle is beyond what is alloted. As you know the Dev team is hard at work getting 0.8 out. This request would be pretty low on the list so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Cant we just tripple the tanks health and make it smoke really bad and kill the crew inside when taking 1/3 damage? Then a big bomb should make it look "nuked" while a couple of tank shells will disable it and kill the crew.


Actually. Bad idea.
