Can we plz fix the fuel problem.
« on: April 12, 2009, 05:54:30 PM »
Ever noticed when you get your empty fuel tank damaged the fuel actually starts leaking or even if you get your full fuel tank damaged you still see the fuel trail after all the fuel has leaked out.
Also when you drop your empty drop tank it still explodes for some reason.


wouldn't it be great to see that fixed.

A rather minor tidbit, in the overall scheme of things

True, it is a bit of an annoyance in terms of realism and the sort, but as said above, there are definitely more important things that should be dealt with first. A great thought, to say the least.

It's higher up on my list because it seems that once you get a fuel leak, you become a target.  I swear everyone swarms the injured aircraft.  If the tank actually ran out of fuel and stopped leaking, then maybe that wouldn't happen so much.

This idea comes to mind at the top 50. Definitely something of little need but great importance, at least if you run out of fuel you won't have a 60ft. long trail of oil/150 enemy players.

I semi agree it would be nice to see that fixed (empty tank leaking)  But as for droptanks.... they don't cause an explosion, in the combustion sense, and quite honestly... An empty droptank is more likely to cause a combustion explosion then a full one simply due to the amount of gas vapor in the empty one.  If anything, if the DT has fuel left it shouldn't have that little animation.

Anything that has even used to carry a flammable liquid (Especially fuel) is able to explode.

That's why oil tankers always display the combustable placard.
