BF2S Forums Should vehicles exhibit less functionality when damaged 50% or more?

Alright then, lets just simplify it a bit. Let's make the armour a lot more real, and then lets make it way more difficult to spin in the air while you're going prone, and only make it possible to jump when you're actually next to something that needs jumping, not while you're running down the street bounding around like an idiot so that it's unrealistically difficult to get a shot at you. I mean, when was the last time you watched a news story about any conflict and the soldiers were bouncing down the street?

You want the game, then it stays as it is, you want realism, you get it all, not just the bits that suit you.

why cant we have a semi realistic game?  i see no problem in making it.  i see no logic in your last statment and that way of thinking is utter bullshit.  though looking at your stats, i see why you dont want your precious tank *gasp* vulnerable to some infantry

Ooh, the retard's response, "Let's attack his stats because that's obviously a realistic representation of his views". What's that got to do with it? The changes you want making is to make your precious karkand and sharqi *gasp* easier for you to medic whore in. I don't need to look at your stats, these forums have been riddled recently with people complaining that tanks spoil their "infantry only" maps. FFS, just play the game as it is.

You want even semi-reality, why would a person who has been shot to hell and almost dying be able to jump around a road like a pogo-stick? By all means, bring in more changes to nerf something that doesn't fit with YOUR style of playing, but balance it with some human reality, say, when you're down to half health, you can't run or jump; when you're down to 25% health, you automatically go prone and can only crawl around whimpering.

Armour is part of the game, as are planes, helos, and artillery. Stop complaining and play. If armour is such a probblem becasue you can't kill it while you're a medic, try being something else for a change. Or go play CS:S.

The great plume of smoke coming out of the back of damaged vehicles is enough for me!! You may as well have a "Shoot me with anything you have - I might explode" sign hanging off the back lol.

This request doesn't make it a real sim if so all would be needed is one shot to take out the tank, jet, apc, etc.  So I don't think that applies to RL situation.  However, it's not befitting BF2 to have 2 bars of health on apc, armor, jet and they still operate as if they are at 100% health.  That's not  real game play. By making this minor adjustment in game team mates are forced to be team mates and help one another.   It forces armor and jet personal to work with squads instead of going on independant crusades.  Venture to far ahead of your team and you are forced to deal with a opponent who can make your life a living hell. Learn to stick together as a team  and you will win the round and earn a decent amount of points doing it.

I have commanded several missions already and what I have seen most is individuals who use armor, jets, helps, etc.  They are the first ones crying supply drops when I already supply my team with the create who need it more as they are working together.  Armor personal knows that it's rare for a commander to deliever them supply drops when they are off in a corner just upping the stats.  My suggestion mimics the main function of BF2 and that's team play.  If you don' t want to play with your fellow team mates then fine...but you will be on your own in ways never imagined and that's scary for lone wolfs that team kill for armor, jets, helos, etc.

It's scary for lone wolfs who enter a squad, lock it and mute their voip.  It's very scary for individuals who are afraid of being beside a team mate in battle. Yes, it's a very scary thing indeed. It makes snipers think twice before that take that armor knowing that they can't help repair their fellow armor team mates instead:
-being a engineer when using armor, etc.
-being a medic to help heal team mates around you
-being a support that will help resupply team mates
etc when you decide to use any vehicle that flys or rolls on the freaking ground.
I mean some of these canned decision are done intentionally (I understand a mistake is made here and there) but I've seen some of these fools go out their way to avoid team mates all together, tank whoring using a sniper kit.  Then they try to jump out of the armor when it's 1/3 health leaving it for the enemy to take who is resupplied with a create.  And, they do it more then once using the same sniper kit with apcs, jets, helos, etc.

I want to see the damaged and disabled husks of destroyed vehicles on fire.

I dont want to see them explode and magically there is no debris on the road.

I don't care about reality but it would be cool if your vehicle was damaged more than half way... your maneuverability was hindered! Even slightly would be cool. That way you would actually have to try harder to get kills. That would also make squads and commanders have to work together better in order to get supply drops and such.

I think this would discourage spawn raping a bit unless you had support.

Anyway, I like the game the way it is and will be with 1.4.
