"Destroyed vehicles turn into wrecks, explode appropriately according to the amount of fuel and ammunition they contain. "

"Burning and secondary explosions of wrecks."

sounds good

That first one has always been true. Even in OFP if you took out all the ammo and fuel from a vehicle and blew it up it wouldn't actually explode.

really? i guess i never left anything alive long enough for them to use all their ammo and fuel up.

[Maio 293]

Hm ... I'm really curious what would be the Russian equivalent of the Humvee ? The GAZ Tiger maybe ?

No BIS make them wait.

A hungry digital junky is more compliant.  

Leave them wanting more.

And I bet you would be one of the first to look if it was there lol  

Hi rick1965

No I am not that quick off the keyboard.

Lots of Cyber Junkies got there before me including you.    

but the info

* Destructible wheels and limited partial destruction.

* Destroyed vehicles turn into wrecks, explode appropriately according to the amount of fuel and ammunition they contain.

* Burning and secondary explosions of wrecks

As well as what sounds like proper HUDs for aircraft sounds interesting.

Kind Regards walker

Looking forward to info about the diffrent kinds of V.

Explo. according to fuel amount sounds sweet...

sounds good

I think nearly all of that points presented today were already like that in Arma1 (besides countermeasures and secondary explosions).

I hope MBT tanks especially, will rather cook-off and not explode (T72 excluded of course).

No tank interiors as it seems still

We will see finally whats coming.

"Accurate weaponry, including optics, tracer rounds and effects."

I hope BIS know that FLIR counts as optics.

About the vehicle destruction, it sounds good, but destroying a vehicle should be hard and I'd rather see most vehicles get disabled rather than totally vaporized. There needs to be some way of making vehicles non-functional, like killing the entire crew or disabling the engine/power systems, without the vehicle exploding, turning into a massively deformed charcoal wreck in an instant.

Double-post.

Hmm i hope that you will be able to use thermal optics in tanks. When i was serving in the danish army, i tried to sit in a 'Leopard 2' during a night exercise, and the thermal sight was ideal for spottin infantry Hope to get that same feelin.

GAZ-3937 Vodnik I think

Sounds very good, defensive measures mean chaff/flares?  Or Quickkill and Trophy systems?! (Just re-read the description: SIMPLE defensive measures..  Probably chaff & flare.)  Now to see it ingame, what it all means..  Looking forward to see this version of the HUD!  

No BIS make them wait.

what does this mean exactly?

[twisted 127]

Quote[/b] ]Destructible wheels and limited partial destruction

does this mean the models get per section damage modelling?

[jakerod 254]

Yeah civilian boat finally.

Hopefully!

I also hope that when wheels getting "destroyed" they will not turn rusty anymore like in Arma. Intead air filled ones should sink-down like in OFP1.

Yeah civilian boat finally.

Reminds me of the SS Minnow, sweet  

[wolfbite 8]

Very very promising....

Nice boat ! I hope the boats will heel over (lean over) when turning.

Nice pictures

[Stimpak_Addict 0]

How are you people getting those pictures like that?

[derk yall 0]

It is easy.

the grey pictures are named:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">http://www.arma2.com/images/stories/vehicles/main/tracked-grey.jpg

remove the "-grey" from the link and voila, you have the picture

I guess that means the same system as in OFP/ArmA1. I just hope its a bit more noticable this time but i wont get my hopes up.
