How long before....

[crazyivan1970]

Greetings all,

Vent on:

Question to the developers:

How long before this insane UFO clown car is fixed? Seriously, by far the most irritating thing in RO. People make careers on the servers as dedicated clown car drivers....jumping cliffs, climbing on the roofs of the bunkers, over the fence.... running down infantry faster then MG fire. Seriosly, someone has to put a stop to this.


Vent off.

Thanks for listening

What do you want them to do?
Be constructive!

 

[mbrooksay]

I see absolutely no problem with the clown car.

 

[Silky_Slim]

Send an 88mm or 75mm their way.

 

[crazyivan1970]

What do i want them to do? Isnt it obvious? Maybe make it behave more like a car would behave? No?

well LOLS youve never heard of hit and runs!?!, people in the game arent afraid of death, and i would think if you were a crazy ruskie in ww2 with the urge to run people over in a ba64, not much could stop you .. other then tank shells an pfausts..

Just make the wheels damagable... but then, IIRC, the russians didn't use pneus (air filled tires), but inflatable, foam filled ones...

and there could also be the option to to add different speeds to ground textures, like:

paved road = fastest
dirt road = fast
cobble = not as fast
grass/dry dirt = medium
wet grass = a tad slower
sand = slow
mud = slowest

A Modest Proposal

20mm magazine-fed automatic cannon is the best solution unless destructible tires come about.

Could be vehicle-mounted or stationary emplaced on a cap zone where someone could sieze and operate it like in Medal of Honor.

whats the problem? BA is ok as it is now, at least after latest patch it is OK, because it was replaced on Arad and limited in speed etc ... so this car is now OK.... and it is only matter of mappers to use this car clever on their maps ...
your request looks little like you do not know what you realy want...

Death by Clown Car.

One of my favorite things to do... Death Race 2000 RO style.


On Arad, at full speed ram those pesky Germans who are peaking around the side of a building and watching all their limbs rip off at once. Never had an arty style disintegration but I'll keep trying.

Game doesn't model different surfaces. Mud doesn't slip, snow doesn't sink. Running or driving through wet mud or deep snow should be much harder.

And it adds to realism. You know what i mean. (to all of you realism junkies out there)

 

[BuddyLee]

I like the clowncar, what is so unrealistic about it? It is imo more refined than the ridiculous tank damage. Maybe you think some dumbass would drive the BA into battle at 10 mph, but I know better... petal to the metal!!

And yes, if a clowncar were to run you over in RL, you would die.

 

[Faustnik]

Do you really think a heavy vehicle like the BA with its high COG could pull off turns and get on two wheels like that?

 

[strewth]

I personally find it easier to roll a slow halftrack than a clown car

Weird IMHO

Mostly the clown car is modeled fine, and the real problems it generates comes from using it poorly on some maps, but theres a few things I'd like to see added to it.

*There is still the bug hanging around where a BA is sometimes invulnerable to an AP tank round, even making the AP round bounce off, this bug also happens more often with HE rounds. Though I heard this bug was attached to lag conditions, so players with low pings may have never seen this bug.

*The model still allows for being to stay standing on the BA while it is moving at high speeds, the hit zone model should be changed so a player either slide off or players wont move with the car and it will just drive out from under them.

*I'm not sure of the armor and ammunition values, but many players think that heavy MG fire should be able to moderately or lightly penetrate a BA and ocassonally kill the occupants. Many players suggested that only tank MG's should perform this penetration, so BA drivers wont drive up to tanks very often.

Other than those three things, I think the BA is fine.

 

[Faustnik]

I think the BA is fine.

Because you think a 2.5 ton top-heavy armored card with a very limited travel suspension and a 50hp motor should drive and handle like a Baja Racer?

 

[kapulA]

Panzerfaust them and watch the tipping over and fireworks...

 

[Faustnik]

There is no doubt that they are entertaining.

Oh yeah, I just can't get enough Stendhal.
