porkus_maximus 36 Posted November 7, 2012 So, driving along through an empty field in a UAZ with my buddy when suddenly... BOOM.Wheel status - greenEngine status - greenHull status - greenFuel tank status - orange, not damaged enough to start leaking fuelI was under the impression that only a damaged engine could cause a vehicle to explode, have I been mistaken? I thought that we might have been sniped but I didn't see any bullet impact and we were vulnerable for a good 60-90 seconds while we were KO'ed/bandaging/blood bagging, and no one took a shot at us. Is this just one of those things that happens quite frequently and I've only just noticed? Pretty gutted, was the first time I'd found a UAZ and we had quite a lot of gear in it when it exploded.

DrunkPunk 159 Posted November 7, 2012 A single nato round will destroy the engine block on a vehicle, Honestly the only thing I can think of, other than this alpha is buggier than hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SP45M 240 Posted November 7, 2012 I have noticed that the UAZ has a tendancy to violently explode on the smallest contact with anything, especially vegetation that any other vehicle would just knock down. Im guessing its the devs little joke "hey lets give them a vehicle that goes really well off road but make it explode if it hits anything bigger than a blade of grass". I can think of four instances of recent where my UAZ exploded in a wtf moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

porkus_maximus 36 Posted November 8, 2012 scripters?Possible although unlikely. We were playing on a private hive, the admins were online and there were only about 10-15 people on, most of which are regulars who are familar with each other. I dunno I guess we can just chalk it up to "it's an alpha", we have an ATV now so we'll drive that around until it randomly flips and gets stuck. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have even managed to do it before bleeding out a couple of times. Edited November 9, 2012 by SP45M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
