Iv just had a read of the *Already suggested's* and cant seem to find this anywhere ? maybe because its never been needed before.


Currently... when leaving the battle zone, you have a certain amount of time before you die.

This is fine if.. your infantry, Air Force Pilot.

Why..

If you run out of bounds.. you die.

If you fly out of bounds, you die, your vehicle falls to the ground and crash's, to re spawn over time.

This is no good if you are in a ground vehicle, you can drive out of bounds, and die, leaving the ethical where it cant be reached, for the remainder of the round. (More noticed on training maps :26_suicid e).

Suggest that if a vehicle is out of bounds with no opperator.. it has an electrical fault which in time will cause it to explode.

Anything out of bounds... will die/be destroyed overtime, There are boundaries for a reason.

Anyway, I don't know if thats codable. Would be fine though.

uhh, it could be exploited? You can go off the map zone and just sit there. it also screws up the minimap.


however, for aircraft there should be more time to be allowed out of bounds for jets.

what?

He's just suggesting vehicles to destroy themselves faster when outside of the map.

Woah, Hugh, you totally missed the bulk of that one.

As for the suggestion, would be fine if added. I've actually never had this problem, but I figure that if it happened, it might as well blow up after a while.

The time out of bounds is mapper placed. Which is easily expanded. Hence a air out of bounds normally will be bigger then troop/vehicles O.O.B.

The Jet out of Combat zone time limit is still 10 seconds which is extremely short considering helicopters get 30 seconds. It would be nice if the Fighter aircraft could receive a little boost on the time limit.

ye well the odd thing is there is something in PR that is forcing the jet out of bounds time to be really low, cos I upped the out of bounds time on qinling to 30secs and jets still only get like 5 or so secs out of bounds time :p

but you can just turn back into bounds if your quick :p

I don't know about you but I think on certain maps, like the default Karkand there is no out of bounds for aerial vehicles unless you fly off the map.

In PR most of the time the map is so large that the out of bounds area IS outside the map. (The jet maps, Qinling and Kashan in the large versions at least)

All PR maps are square...haven't you noticed yet?
