It'd be great to have the option to deploy vehicles with damage to some weapons, engine, tyres, etc. That way we could stage rescue scenarios, put debris from previous battles/scouts on the field and other fun things.

I suggested something similar about half a year ago, sadly I can't link the whole thing because its in the developer forum. Here's the first snip:

Hello,
I was wondering if would be possible to include wrecked cars on a random basis on some maps. I'm picturing a smoking engine lorry or something, straddling a roadway, remnants of an ambushed trader convoy. It would be picturesque and also provide a new tactical obstacle in some cases.

It would be easy to do as a static shape, but vik mentioned rigid shape objects, which I imagine are 'interactive'... so if you hit one it would move as well.

How hard would it be to add random spawning of looted wrecks, and what would be the best way to do it?

Anyway sam suggested this sort of thing is doable, it would be sweet and would throw a nice variety into the mix.
