Title: Vehicle collisions
Post by: Kaz on November 10, 2004, 10:15:47 AM
I'd like to request GV collisions.
I've never seen it, maybe someone at HTC can say why it can't or hasn't been done?

Thank you.

If vehicle collisions were to be modelled, aromor would certainly have to be a consideration, ala Kev367th's comment.

In some cases, collisions are already modelled. Just park your tank on a road. Those truck drivers are fearless when it comes to playing chicken.. they drive right through you and BOOM your dead!. Funny how a 2-1/2 ton supply truck can kill a 55 ton Tiger tank. :rolleyes:

I should have been more clear. I was thinking more along the armor lines.
Simple collisions, no one has to die, just can't drive through and hide in the other. Kinda like hitting a building and stopping, that sorta thing. Friendly vehicle collisions should also be on.

Now that you guys brought it up, I see that it would need more research than I thought.
An M3 running into any tank at full speed might get catastrophic damage. M8 might lose a wheel or two and 'maybe' damage its main gun. I'm just guessing here.

Use to be if you ran a enemy aircraft over it would explode. Worked well when you lose your turret in an osti on a enemy feild.
