Situation

The civilian car doesn't have a horn, and only has the ability to play the music (Qom)

Problem

Its both unrealistic and impractical to not have a horn for the civilian car. Whilst trivial and a small issue, a horn really does help alerting those around you, and a simple two beeps can indicate many things such as 'get in', without having to type.

Solution

Add a horn to the left click issue, whilst also having the classic music.

I agree, I have spamed the click button countless times just to realize that I'm in a the civi car....

Like pressing H The qom


And left click the horn

Hm. I suppose weapons can only be fired with the "fire weapon" keys? And by weapons I mean sound effects, too...

If that is the case, we'd have to switch between Quom and the horn via the 1,2... keys or F (as the right click button is either the bomb button or could be confused with the bomb button, none of which allow anything to be put on that button). But other than the little inconvenience of pressing an extra button to switch between the two, I see no problem with the suggestion. Kinda like the radio chatter in the humvees (do they still have that? Probably not) used to work.

Should be like the humves X to listen to the radio and SPACE to beep.

Ah, yes, forgot about X. Space = Left mouse button though.

Yes, the Humvee still have the radio.
I totally agree with this suggestion.
Left click - horn
Right click - music

Not sure if the bomb-cars would need the horn, though(?).

Yes, that would definetly be usefull. Many times I had the need to use horn in civi car. Telling people to get out of the way, get attension etc.

+1 for this one



Offtopic suggestion:
Hey, maybe add that when you play as blufor you can shoot cars closer than 400m of you or something, otherwise civilian kill but with decrased effects. You could shoot bombtrucks and stuff still as soon as you see them. But not bikes or cars, they could be civi. Or maybe you need music to activate bomb, and you can only shoot cars that have music on. Hardcoded?

Status Qom, ahahahaha.

Good idea Dtacs.

The bomb cars should have the horn. On the same button with the bomb. *Beep, BOOOOOM* Lol

No, they should have Quom on the same button as the bomb.

Weapon select change . .. 1 vehicle horn 2 Music 3 Bomb if equip with C4/IED device

or like others above were saying ... usethe space ber but for bomb cars ... how about left click is horn right click is music and spacebar blows the C4???

Spacebar is the same as lmb iirc

The humvee should have the radio on the right mouse button. It's a pain to hold X unless you've remapped the key.

I know, right? I've hit way to many trees because of that.

Wait, what does the radio do? I feel I've missed a lot with this...

Wait, which one is the BOOM

Pressing x in the Humvee played the radio chatter of Marines calling in a fire mission, it was taken from the ending credits of a Generation Kill ep.
