Project Reality Forums

I havn't made a suggestion in a while(mostly because you have to do it yourself if you want to see it in game, but I don't have any skills in the 3d arts) so here it goes. I was thinking of having static items like fuel trucks or gas pumps that could explode if hit a certain number of times with certain items, like the red barrels or propane carts on BF2. They could be used by insurgents in cities as a highly flammable roadside bomb, or just look good blowing up in the middle of a firefight. Any critisism is open, like I said, I'd do it myself, but I don't know how, nor have the time to learn.

This is really unrealistic. Although you always see in movies that gas tanks get blown up it a single bullet hits them, in reality this would probably never happen, not even if many bullets hit it.

on mythbusters they shot a car oil tank and it didn't explode, but it did with tracer rounds.

it wasn't tracer rounds, it was incendinary ( the same rounds as used in the us army .50 barret to shoot through iron)

Actually, they tried tracers AND incendiary with little effect.

I'm pretty sure they ended up using a Minigun on a propane cylinder to get the desired effect.

Maybe some destructables only triggered by RPG or IED would be good and I'm sure that's codable.

might have been a retry of the experiment, first time I saw it they tried it on a gas tank and it began burning with the incendinary

I remember that. I believe a spark has to be formed for it to blow or burn.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

If you want to blow stuff up, go play Crysis, and Far Cry 2. That's what I do

I can re word it to say explosives that cause it, such as C4, IED, tank rounds etc. Maybe not bullets.
