Thanks for the feedback.. please test them some more in DW:T and I'll gladly tweak them.

I would tend to agree about the armour of the motorhome being too good..

The suspension of the corgette can be shortened.

I did a test on the Motorhome with a 3lv8 twin HL front HRR and FG either side and HFOJ and MD rear, driver and 5 passengers, so a reasonably heavy load. Acceleration was slow, but got up to speed once it was moving. Slower than a Box it would seem.

Handles like a Box Van (or other large vehicle). Quite stable.

I can see the Motorhome as the little mini battle bus I though the Carrier Van would be when I first started playing, or perhaps a pedestrian carrier. Doesn't seem anywhere near as fast as a Box Van. So considering the intended purpose, I think the armor should be ok as is*. There are plenty of weak vehicles with lots of space; the Box and Carrier Vans; be nice to see something different. Its smaller than a bus or FT and slower than the smaller carrier vehicles and as previously mentioned its as big as a... motorhome, so is an easy target.

*(I didn't manage to get the NPCs in TAC to shoot at me, so can't really say how tough the motorhome is, it would be nice to have a stronger version of the for mentioned that can play a different roll, rather than just a different looking vehicle doing the same job. Maybe the extra few point of armor is enough).

Sam- Can we get a "REALLY BIG" explosion for one of the fuel tankers cooking off? (like big ol' black mushroom cloud)

Probably a lot of work but would be very cool.

There will have to be a system to take fuel out of a fueltank, yes. The simplest way would be to create fuel cans.. will probably do it that way but you'll lose a little bit to simulate the purchase of the cans themselves.

Or yes, siphoning to another vehicle in the same squad would be easy to implement too.

Then The Mothership, which I have faithfully kept all these years lol, will finally be of use with it's 1000L gas tank! :cyclops:
