I've been doing some thinking, and was wondering if anyone's found a way to force an engine to die either at random or at some point after a certain time or distance. I was also wondering if the amount of throttle needed to get a vehicle moving is directly tied to its mass and engine power or whether it's just a constant for all vehicles, and also if permutations of one tank with a different armour plates missing each time it spawns are possible. It's for a little project I'm working on (don't ask, though the questions probably give it away), and it'd be good to know this as soon as possible so I can work out the best way to get it ingame.
