I'd just glare at the fire until it put itself out. :mad:

AI really struggles with maps like that. It seems we either have to put up with them driving into the oil and surrendering, or being overly cautious and being easy to escape from.

The problem: It's not a real player controlling them. AI will not be able to compete.

Solution: Wait 50 years for AI to surpass us and start the robot revolution.

Or make the entire game PvP based. Yeah, good idea me! NOBODY could have anything bad to say about that! :cyclops:

What would be horribly cool (horribly because of all the random death) would be ammo cooking off in a very bad fire.

Random shots going off in different directions. The burning car suddenly becomes a claymore.

Taken from another post I made and moved to this thread:

Quote:
Just my 2 pennies worth here.... 

Tire/Brake fires are easy to extinguish IF they are dealt with soon enough. If they are left to smoulder, they can be almost impossible to extinguish because of the proximity to more flammable sources of ignition, ie: brake fluid. Rubber is also VERY hard to put out if you have enough of it on fire.

Internal/cargo fires are relatively easy to deal with because upholstery is intended to be hard to light up. (For the safety of the occupants.) The cargo carried also has a lot to do with the combustion of the upholstery, seats and such.. Gun rounds need to have a quite high temperature before they cook off. Flamethrower ammo on the other hand will light up the interior, just as fast as if the nozzle of the weapon were pointed into the car if the flames get to the ammo after a short time.

Engine compartment fires are highly dangerous because the fire is in close proximity to fuel, brake fluid, batteries, and rubber. ALL highly combustible and explosive within a VERY short time. You cannot open the hood because this gives a release to the flames and fans the fire which sucks air from underneath. You cannot use an extinguisher from underneath with the hood closed because the fire will be on top of the engine.

(In fact, NASCAR fire crews use a nitrogen based extinguisher when they fight engine fires. The nitrogen replaces the oxygen in the enclosed space and removes one of the three requirements for fire to exist.)

Oxygen, fuel and heat are all that is required to make fire and adding more of any one of those three will keep the fire self-sustaining.
============================

OK, JD is off the teachers blackboard!

Hate to break it to you all, but cars on fire generally do not explode in a huge ball of flames. They generally just burn, and burn. And gun ammo wont increase an explosion, but it will fire off...  :)


generally no, but they do if the fuel tank boils. And this being a computer game, we love to see them fuel tanks boil!

Remember from the other thread the videos of what happens when fuel boils in a vessel, becomes pressurized and the heat-weakened containment vessel ruptures.

How much of your experience involves civilian vehicles jury rigged up to contain military hardware and carry enough ammunition(including explosives!) to level a small country? :rolleyes:

What does that matter? I'm not the one claiming 16 years of irrelevant experience.

Regardless, while the average civilian vehicle will simply burn to a shell, or in the case of those junky "supercars" melt into a puddle, vehicles containing large amounts of flammable or explosive material tend to go... boom.

The average vehicle in Evan carries enough ammunition and/or fuel that it'd quite easily cause a nice pretty explosion. Unless you'd like to explain why the fuel, rockets and other ammunition wouldn't explode, with all that experience of yours. :stare:

I deleted all of my posts on this topic. I dont have the time, or the patience to argue with Sere over such an insignificant thing. Ill just end it there.

Yeah, the specific message about ammo and fuel cans being hit are because whenever they get hit there is a chance of a fire starting.

Yes. I know people have claimed that NPCs don't reload, but actually they do. Perhaps their decision about when to reload is a bit iffy, but they definitely do it and draw it from actual ammo loaded into the car.
