Trucks v3s suggestions.

[sneakydudes 278]

I searched the forums, found many topics on the trucks but none seem to point to the real need to fix.

 

1. Slow 1st gear driving up the hill. Some of which is so slow, a zombie can walk faster past them.

 

2. Damage model on all trucks. We need to be able to shoot down the drivers, and the trucks. (seems like they are invulnerable.)

 

3. Trucks drive through water, and does not really get stuck. Able to cross the water, under the water and driver/passenger lives. They should drown.

 

4. Trucks are not damaged when you take out the tires. It should spin around if dropped to one front wheel. Sparks maybe flying out of the truck.

 

5. Trucks breaking down, able to use the wrench to fix them ( I think this is the BI goal to fix trucks ).

 

6. Trucks also are sometimes able to go through bales of hay, when full out. Trucks are able to get stuck on a simple piece of wood, fence and or small post in the ground. Environment problems.  Muddy water should get you stuck even cross country.

 

7. Driver can zoom out, but the passenger can not zoom out while right clicking or using the +/- key.

 

8. Dry, wet, cold, food all these conditions happen while driving. The effects seem to stop happening to the character. They don't really get freezing. (maybe adding heaters, and air) Could give the ability to open the tab key to eat food while in the truck. It would give you some issues seeing still.

 

I understand many of these features are being looked into and some will be added over the year. 

 

Please open any more issues, or suggestions.

First off, they have recognized the various bugs that plague the V3S, it will be fixed soon.

Praga V3S trucks are hella hard to get stuck. Usually, you will find this truck, along with other trucks such as the Ural-375D, GAZ-66, and MAZ-537, crossing large rivers with ease.

I agree with everything except 5 we need more things than a wrench. The v3s is a great addition ingame and I'm ready for a new vehicle especially a car or bike.

That was one powerful truck, got out of mud like that. wow.

 

still should be a feature, because it slows down the truck and maybe causing players to hear you.

 

Thanks very good video reference to the topic.

I used the wrench because that's all we have other then a small hammer.

 

I totally agree, we should have a full set of sockets and wrenches.

lol no jk but really, I agree with everything you're saying. I also think that we should try to simulate driving a bit better... better sounds, better physics, reactive tires, ect.

The physics are fine so to speak, it's just the suspension values that need to be tweaked. The suspension actually is very realistic if the truck is simulating not having shock absorbers. Tire's reacting to surfaces as in deflation (like Spintires) is something we will see a LONG time from now. It's a visual aspect, and it would take a considerable amount of time to code and perfect. Sounds are on their way, as well as a manual gearbox. A dev posted about a mocap sessios they had with a real V3S which leads me to believe we will have full suspension articulation. And with me being a gearhead, that makes me happy :D

I hate you, now I have to go and play C&C.

 

There is currently no real simulation going on for vehicles. Admittely we're not playing Spintires in a zombie apocalypse, but I'd like to see a few little touches added: The ability to add a breather onto the air intake to allow the truck to still run whilst the engine is submerged, for example.

 

Right now, they are invulnerable. That's fine: Alpha. I'm hoping a little more time is spent to make the simulation of the vehicles a little more in line with what Bohemia Interactive have become famous for.
