Re: Madan`s ramblings (semi-long)

In Response To: Re: Madan`s ramblings (semi-long) (Psychophan7)

These are only my observations. And my conclusions can be wrong. I appreciate you taking the time to correct whatever errors there might be, and enlighten me. I am obviously curious about this.

: Without a driver, vehicle damage applies. Once enough damage has been put
: into it, it explodes and is rendered useless until it respawns. HOWEVER:
: The damage it takes when a driver in it is not cosmetic. Also, the does
: not always vehicle explode if the driver dies.

Well, I just stated that some claim this.. And that I ignored it.
So ignore it. I pretty much focused on the vehicle, not the person.

As for cosmetic. You will notice that the pieces changing shape or falling off does not interfere with the damagezones really.. They can indicate how much it has been damaged, but you can make it explode without bulking it also.. That was the point. I`m not saying it is inconsistent, however. Example: It will always take three BR shots to lose the bumper.

: Examples?

: Driver death does not destroy vehicle: Take a shotgun and get someone in a
: Warthog. Shoot the driver. Hey, you just pulled a Grand Theft Auto.

Yes, imagine how pointless it would be to board a tank with a grenade if it completely ruined the thing.. Sorry if I am clumsy expressing myself. If that is the case.

: Lack of driver destroys vehicle: Take a shotgun and shoot the Warthog in the
: hood two or three times, four if needed. The warthog will explode. Shoot
: the turret a total of twelve times (more/less depending on damage
: settings, may not actually be twelve) and the Warthog will be destroyed.
: Shoot the tires twice and BOOM. The broken glass area counts as the hood,
: but add one for the shot to break the glass.

Yes, I played by myself, so I couldn`t really tell if the damage was the same with or without a driver. It would be stupid if the same rules didn`t apply WITH a driver as well.. But how am I to tell.

The turret (The Gauss turret) just seemed invincible to me. That is, not a scratch, no smoking, after 9 sniper clips. Since the armored surfaces only took 12 shots (2 1/2 clips) I still only said "I think" it can take pretty much anything. Perhaps someone has to be in it. Weird.

: Vehicle is heavily damaged with a driver: Shotgun the driver and take a few
: steps back. That thing is going to blow.

Now, this is interesting. Inflict damage on the driver, and the vehicle will explode.. You mean the damage add to the vehicle damage?

: As far as color-coding damage zones... I'd do it and make tables.

Great, great:)
