Black Sabot Posted May 5, 2000 Share Posted May 5, 2000 SS, Just curious, what do you mean by fire spreading from one unit to another? Do you mean AFVs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't want a whole forest to catch fire on a hot and sunny day, and not only because your CPU won't like it. Your troops might not like it either.

SS_PanzerLeader Posted May 5, 2000 Author Share Posted May 5, 2000 Yah i meant AFVS - If i try to ram a burning AFV do I risk being caught on fire? I would think there should be some chance ------------------ SS_PanzerLeader.......out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabot Posted May 5, 2000 Share Posted May 5, 2000 I agree, but i think the real risk is in the ammo/fuel of the KO'd vehicle lighting up. I would like to see flaming vehicles exploding at random intervals. Anyone near it (friend or foe) would then suffer the effects. Just a thought ------------------ "I do like to see the arms and legs fly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ol' Blood & Guts Posted May 5, 2000 Share Posted May 5, 2000 Well, here's my opinion. I may be mistaken, but here goes. Isn't the "brew" effect for AFVs just a representational graphic? I mean, I doubt it has the same properties as fire, ie spreading from vehicle to vehicle or building or trees. Now also, I think that I read somewhere that if a multi-story building catches fire on the lower level, that the fire WOULD spread to the higher level. But I think that fires are bound to a single object with no "jumping" to other objects. Actually I have a question about how much pounding does it take for a terrain feature to catch fire, or what triggers the fire. Like sometimes, a house will catch fire instead of being destroyed. What determines that? Yeah as for "secondary" explosions on AFVs, that would be very cool. We've discussed this before, but it still is interesting. Even if it means to delay the brew effect a couple of seconds after the AFV is hit instead of immediately. Steve, I'm sure that wouldn't be too hard to code in later in a patch. You could also make it a random occurance, you know like immediate sometimes, then others at 3-5 seconds later. Of course I'm speaking of what we know from the Beta Demo, this could already be in CM for all we know.
