Damaged engine causing a car to explode in a fireball when starting it?

[james_foschi@hotmail.com 19]

So we and my friends found a van drove it around for like 4 days we finally find some good fucking loot on a helicopter put it in diving away.... we had damaged the engine yeah orange colour so anyway we end up hitting something not too hard but it goes red. I thought what the hell go to drive and it fucking explodes when the engine starts up now in my experience this isnt fucking anyway remotely realistic the CAR WOULD NOT FUCKING EXPLODE fuck rage thread. bye good guns fuck life i dont understand

my suggestion make them just not work? now fucking explode so fucking pissed off fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

That seems a bit over the top for a damaged car, maybe someone rigged it too explode ;), Or maybe the car is just designed to explode once it goes below a certain % of integrity.

The game can't always be super realistic. :)

Certainly it cant always be super realistic but this is blatantly idiotic and an obvious design flaw easily corrected with fifteen minutes of coding.

We had this happen to us on orange engine and we hit the smallest frigging bush thats still an object and it blew up.

It takes a very specific series of events in order for a vehicle to EXPLODE IN A BALL OF FIRE. The entire system is so Hollywood it's laughable.

True story: ATV randomly flips over. Engine is red. We leave it in the field. A few hours later another member of the group gets on it. He drives 3 feet and gets consumed by a fireball.

Moral of story: ATV's are deathtraps as are vehicles with damaged engines.

But, yay for bear traps!

This one time, in DayZ, I found a tractor, when I got in and tried to drive, it exploded and killed me -.-

It's pretty obvious you don't have much experience with vehicles as this has absolutely nothing to do with your driving skill. Please go troll somewhere else.

As a ArmA series player since 2001 be VERY carefull with vehicles that isnt green.

I would like to point out, I've been playing Arma2 since release. Unfortuately due to the game engine, cars and vehicles can blow up quite easily.
