vehicle destruction in BF2 and PR is far too boring, it just goes BOOM and suddenly turns into a smouldering wreck.

as the videos show this isnt the case, maybe it is possible to have the vehicle when hit by a missle to stay intact with some degree of control (depending on what hits it) but gradually get consumed by flames before climaxing by a huge firey explosion.

i dont know how hard this will be to do but i guess that for the burning bit, just adding a ton of fire decals will do the trick for starters

Would be awesome to see the tanks and planes go up like that

i agree, perhaps you could have secondary explosions too? and let it burn for a long time, just have it burn and smoke until it respawns. that way it wont leave any extra litter on the battlefield to make the game lag.

That first one was...beautiful...BUT, we cannot have that, I'd bet :/

i agree...to be honest the explosions when a tank or a plane gets shot or gets hit by a missile in PR are kinda lame :S .And i think its not hard to add some extra smoke and flames in it..prove me wrong

oops double post..sry

Currently, some remains burn lightly, but an all out fireworks show would own!

HAHAHAHAHA AT THE END OF THE 3rd one (sry for caps) they start yelling ALLAH AKABA repeditly after the heli gets hit

A few nights ago I was driving a challenger that took out an APC on Al Kufra. After it blew up it kind of carried on in a semi circle still smoking before coming to a stop. Gunner saw it too. Is this APC designed to do this or was it somekind of bug?

Yep. The PR explosions and fire effects are really lame... We need more smoke and fire! This guy is right! An aircraft doesn't just transform into a wreck after getting shot... there has to be more fire, smoke and the jet should fly a bit longer and crash after some time. Warning signals and alarm sounds inside a jet/chopper which let you know if you got hit would be really awesome too! So you have time to eject etc.

Just turning into a wreck without any effects is really unrealistic and boring.. also some other effects haven't been changed until now. They are still vanilla-like. For example a HMMWV doesn't just explode after getting hit by some small arms.

And yeah.. wrecks should burn and smoke much more than they do right now..


Thanks for reading.
I hope the DEVs will take this to heart as far as it is possible to change those effects. If not, apologize!

kinda every he said ^

Game play is one but the eye wants something too and it gets you more in the feeling.

Couldn't they just have some Molotov cocktails spawn around/on the vehicle when it's hit. I'd really like to see something like in FH2 where there is a column of smoke coming up afterwards! Imagine going into AL Basra seeing all of the smoke from destroyed apcs (really increase the pucker factor).

This is desperatly needed IMO, possibly the most appealing comsmetic change you guys can do.
