SE4 - Vehicles more deadly than players.

[stilton 14]

As in the topic title...

Me and a few friends were running as a group on SE4 server a few days ago...

We found in the space of 45mins:

- a tractor [2 guys camo/ghillie repairing it, camo died, my guys found it mins later - ghillie boy had fled]

- a v3s truck [found as i was running back to the skirmish]

- 3-4 'small boats' [found after v3s desync killed us all]

- rubber dingy [this thing is totally badass.]

I -believe- we were the cause of the next 3-4 server crashes tbh, although obviously i cant attest to this because i dont know -exactly- what every other player on the server was doing...

But basically as soon as we got in and started driving/boating around, it would go fine for a good 5 minutes before it would start to desync..

For myself, as a passenger, it was the usual arma-passenger-related-desync... but slightly worse. My position would stop being updated and although i can hear the engine running the truck is static with the wheels spinning accompanied by at least a yellow-lag-chain... Although i believe in some cases there was no indicator of lag and also we were getting no desync in the 'p' menu, but it was obviously still broken as our comms through voip quickly went to discussing our different locations.

This was then accompanied by the server crashing...

We managed to check out the island using the dingy successfully, it was a larf for the most part...

So i mean, the vehicles are working, but (and dont get me wrong, i KNOW its an alpha) but in its current state they were more deadly than the deadliest of players...

But the time spent refueling the vehicles and actually having a 'goal' - other than 'GEAR UP' - was quite interesting, also better having to question whether to take tht jerry can and scrap metal or extra ammo :)

So... lots of fun - but, because of the fact it only worked for, at most 15 minutes.. until it crashed..

It was shortlived fun before rage insued.

Stability would be great! :D Easier said than done though, rite?
