Hi

It's my frist post in this PR forum.I'm from Taiwan

.Maybe you have seem some squads with the name"TW".They were all from Taiwan and talked noisily
By the way. Does anyone know how to damage a track or turret and wheel?
I have checked the manual.But nothing found.
And I tested it today.I shot the tank track by another tank main gun.But I just could not damage the track...Why?
My tank sometimes had a damaged track after fights

The damage is random, sadly. The BF2 engine does not support realistic damage systems. You can shoot a tank in the back and the tracks might be damaged. Or the turret. Or nothing. Just depending on the damage taken afaik.
By the way, to avoid confusion, many squads including the letters "TW" might just refer to "TeamWork".

Reduce the tank health to about 10% and you might get a damaged track or a damaged turret
The equalivant on a heli is engine failure and a broken tail rotor

ye, unforintly we cant tell the BF2 engine that if a shell hit the tracks / turret to disable it, you can hit the tank in the turret and its tracks will be disabled

If they did have it, then they would have had it a long time ago.

With the source code, i doubt any of those suggestions would be "impossible". They'd just need some work to do i guess. But... i dont see any way the Dev's could get anything like the BF2 source code.
