Its cool that car props have been added but you cant do much with them so I thought that cars could explode killing enemies and they would leave a wreckage, I dont know if this is possible to make, I just wanted to share this idea. :)

It would seem that something like this would be possible after the actual controllable vehicles will be added in the game. The props could be possibly made with similar techniques, so that they would react to explosions with physics simulation and potentially blow up after some amount of damage.

Ookay, I just cant wait to blow up some cars :D

One of my biggest problems with stuff like this is that cars don't tend to explode by just shooting at them. Believe it or not, cars aren't made out of nitroglycerin. Have you ever seen a car accident? It would be horrible if collisions caused an explosion, let alone a small projectile hitting it at high speed.

I've no problem with an actual explosion capable of destroying a car... but you have to understand the car itself does not explode, but the C4, rocket, or whatever that caused the explosion would create shrapnel and other nasty things from the car. Gameplay wise the distinction wouldn't really matter so much, but it would make cars pretty decent cover in a pinch until people start shooting HEDP rockets.

Actually, It'd be cool if cars could be used as weak, impromptu transports. Perhaps make them vulnerable to everything (Bullets in the engine tend to make things work a little less than perfect, and a grenade is likely to tear a car to shreds,) but make them zippy so that you could quickly move up to 5 (Counting the driver) soldiers in one vehicle for fast transport. I'd imagine that by the time heavier vehicles are implemented they'll rarely be used, but it's a nice alternative that could make for some interesting tactics, and really adds another dimension to the game.

Suddenly I'm imagining a situation where 5 guys pile into a car (one through the sun/moon roof) all shooting out of it...

maybe you could just have it that the car gets increasingly shot up, I'd imagine that with a enough people shooting a car, even though it won't explode, it'd be pretty much pointless to hide behind it.

The idea of seeing the environment increasingly shot up with small-arms fire with the larger explosives doing more damage (perhaps even tearing apart holes in buildings).

It could be like in arma 2 or company of heroes in how they handle the physics of weapons damage.

I'm just concerned it would look too intensely, soul-crushingly lame and retarded to see groups of soldiers riding into battle in bright-red civilian 4x4s.

Since when did the game become realistic enough to take that stuff seriously? :|

Okay, let's look at it from a gameplay perspective then. Exploding barrels. You don't stand near them in games because they explode when shot. If cars acted like magic exploding barrels then nobody would want to use them as cover since they're a massive "shoot me" exploding death trap. I seem to remember Call of Duty 4 doing something like this? Standing near a car was basically instant death.

EDIT: On the other hand, it could be possible to use cars as temporary cover. I.E. car gets set on fire, then you have some time to find someplace better to stand before the car explodes.

But then you'd just shoot the car, let it explode, and then run up and use it as cover...

That doesn't sound so bad to me.
