Hello PR community

This has not been suggested quiet before, so i have decided to bring it up.

Ok, so i was wondering if you PR modders are interested in a body stay feature!? :p

I'm sorry, but what do you mean by a "body stay" feature? Movement (deviation) control? Keeping dead bodies there? What?

Aren't they networkable objects so too many of them = Lag?

Yes, while we have increased the dead body time we cant keep all of them there.

it should be possible, they did it in a 1942 mod, and i can play 1942 on all high on my laptop, but with how the mod is set up... but all vheical ramains and bodies would stay till the end of the game, i could not play sp with bots on all low... after about 10 minutes its bad lag

Doesn't seem realistic, as no conventional army would just let dead bodies sit there.

But they wouldn't be getting more people killed by sending out guys to retrieve them while under fire...

its been suggested many times before...

The problem is that 1, it confuses medics about which players can still be revied, and it also adds onto the networkable count (I'm pretty sure, not 100% on it but if so, it makes servers more likly to crash) as well as add a lots of polys to render which ehhh, most users dont need.

On the realistic side, yes, body cannot dissapear in RL, but hey, when area cleares of any , group of insurgents will come and take care of the mess i guess...that kindof simulates the presence of other people in the game.

If anything, just extend the body hang time.
