Fire effect in explosion pieces

[=Romagnolo=]

I have no idea if it is easy or not to do it, but when in game they look really cool. I had this idea watching this video here:

I hope you guys fell the same that I felt when I whatched. It was like: "Wow, it is just a detail, but also so cool"



And the video shows a interesting mechanism with tank-commander vision and the gunners vision.

They're not that realistic, in my opinion.

I can't say for certain, but AP (SABOT) rounds are sheer force-based, and don't explode, so no fire, and HE rounds use high explosive, which relies on the compression wave and/or shrapnel, so no fire there either. There is a rather massive muzzle blast though whatever is fired.

As for post-hit effects, I expect there would be fires, secondary explosions etc caused by fuel/ammo cooking off in the vehicle, but not the DC extent.

It's BF1942 engine....

the depleted uranium breakup will have an incendiary effect, as you said, combined with fuel/stored munitions you have your boom.

Ha ha, the face @ 2:20! That brings back memories.

As for the effect, I agree that it doesn't look very realistic without a decent explosion.

PR explosions need more smoke and less fire. Also, is there a way to keep destroyed vehicles rolling on momentum as the crew die and the vehicle burns?

Makes me admire all their work even more.

Yeah, been a while since I played that mod. I can honestly say I thought that video was of a BF2 mod. I know it said Desert Combat but I confused it with Desert Conflict... When I saw the tank sights, it looked familiar of FH's tank sights and when I saw one of the player models walking, I automatically thought of BF1942, since BF2 doesn't have a walk button. Very impressive for the BF1942 engine...

BF1942 FTW

When did I last play DC? 0.7 I think. It is amazing what they have done!
