vehicles are WAY too fragile

[BuckshotFacelift 5]

Since auto repair is patched these things are like operating a vehicle made of fine china. Hit a twig and all 4 tires, fuel tank, body, and glass is damaged. I nearly killed myself hitting a picket fence at 5mph in the UAZ.

I know this has been touched on in other threads, but come on man, this is absurd.

Toughen these things up by 800%!

To fix this problem, I don't think it is as simple as "toughening it up". You not only have to mess with the physics of how vehicles interact with different parts of the environment, but you'd also have to code how different impacts effect different parts of the vehicle.

I tested it in editor, crashes of ~20km/h deal minor damage and it dozens of hits to cause serious damage to the car, crashes at 40 deal significant damage.

The damage felt right though, im not sure if this is just about general tree branch bugginess.

yeah, like a solo player i usually kill who managed to repair the car, go away with the said car, hit something, burn the car. i only repaired a motorbike once..

Ya I did the same kinda test on my server.

I drive the ural because I could drive thru most anything (Before)

Yesterday I crashed thru a metal gate at the NWAF.

When I went to refuel - I saw 4 or 5 yellow items and 1 orange for repair.

This made me think wow I gota change my driving.

Then last night I went in to my admin tool and it lists damage 'zero (0) is none - one (1) is totaled'

After going thru 3 metal gates, 4 or 5 fences and knocking down about 10 trees damage showed .03

Now stuff does not self repair (like it use too) when you get in and out but with .03 damage it says to me don't worry about the yellow for sure, maybe even don't worry about the orange.

Just my 2 cents worth

Just bumped a barrier (open door of crashed Humvee) at 5 mph ish in my UAZ. All 4 glass, body, all 4 wheels, fuel, and engine need repair. Must just be that the UAZ is made of paper machet?

Since rocks and doors can kill you it's obvious that using an offroader off road will result in said offroader to blow up.

And it's even worse when barricades spawn in front of you at night.

Oh god the pain D:

I crashed my bicycle that I had for about 2 minutes before this happened into one of those green collapsed walls what are usually in the sides of fields.

I didn't have much blood and I have changed my FOV, so I couldn't see it before I went 70 km/h straight into it.

Both wheels and "hull" went down and it didn't move. Sadly there were no industrial buildings near, so I kept on walking.

Surprisingly, I didn't take any damage from it. If that happened in real life, there would be several broken bones.
