Arma 3
Most Vehicles Not Exploding When Destroyed
So, an issue I've been having for quite a while that i can't seem to find any fix or solution for, is a possible bug I'm having where just about every Car, Truck, and even some MRAP's and APC's just won't explode whenever they get destroyed. Doesn't matter if they get blown up by an IED, hammered with 30mm AP rounds, or hit with an RPG, they won't explode when being destroyed. They just go to their destroyed textures, and go up in flames. the only explosions being the secondary explosions popping off when the vehicle is already destroyed. Vehicles like Tanks and most APC's and IFV's seem to explode perfectly fine though. It seems like it's something to due with some of my mods maybe, but i have no clue what to do, or let alone why a mod which has nothing to do with modifying vehicle logic would cause basically every wheeled vehicle to not explode when destroyed.

I can't seem to find anyone else who is reportedly having this issue, or has a fix for it. So i'm reaching out to the community to see if they have any advice or help for me.

Which mods are you running?

I've encountered this issue using almost ALL 3cb faction vehicles.
A fix that worked for me was installing Arma FXP and I use it alongside Blastcore tweaked. This brings back those lovely explosions for 3cb vehicles.
The mods say they're not suppose to be ran together, but it works just fine for me.

Do note these added explosion effects may have an impact on your performance based on your hardware. My dedicated server usually runs smooth

I am unsure if this is a bug or 3cb trying to make their vehicles more realistic. Since vehicles irl don't just explode

Okay so, yeah that didn't work sadly. even if i only load RHS and 3CB, as well as Blastcore and Arma FXP, it doesn't bring back the explosions.

What's weird too is that if i just load RHS, none of the Jeeps/cars explode. Even stuff like the M1025 Humvees. And yeah if i load 3CB on top of that, it basically makes all Cars, Trucks, and light armored vehicles to not explode. even BTR's and M1151 Humvees which. ofc, used to explode.

It sounds like something to do with RHS then. They do have an official bug report website you can contact them on.
Try it vanilla purely. If they still don't explode then submit a ticket with Bohemia Interactive on their official forums. If it's strictly RHS, submit on their website.

And if you happen to be using ACE at all, turn it off and test the vehicles, because I know for a fact ACE does impact vehicle detonations.
