Vehicle damage

[ian26uk]

So, I know in RL if you hit a rock at 60mph your bike is messed up but in most games its either no damage or very little and in this game you can hit a pebble at 5 mph and do damage.
Not to mention the fact that since the camera angles are terrible and all the bushes and trees HIDING the rocks you can basically wreck your bike on one trip because you did not see the rocks or so many trees you are bound to hit some.
So maybe lower the damage by A LOT.

You could just get better at driving. Plenty of us have no issues with not barreling through trees and rocks. There's really no reason to decrease the damage your vehicle takes to compensate for you choosing to drive through trees and junk.

Besides, it's not like it costs a lot to repair anyway.

Right now my bike is at 50% and needs 5 aluminium and some mats that do not matter but 5 mats that you need 5 acid to make maybe called "cheap" but since everything in the game later needs acid to make and its around 80 energy to buy acid I think its a bit OTT.

I do not have an issue barrelling through stuff but the fact that the camera angle is terrible and the place is full of things to hit unless you just drive the long way round on roads then you will be hitting something often.
Not to mention even with the top mods on the bike it handles like poop.

upgrade the vehicle durability at max , and well if u hit every rock and tree drive on the streets instead , its way harder to hit rocks and trees with the bike how ,u manage that? if i hit some rocks would be with that jeep

It is at max, I do not mean they blow up right away, I mean that for hitting something as simple as an ore deposit or even a curb is silly.
It's rather easy to be going at full pelt across the wasteland and with the zoomed in camera angle when you are on a bike and going up a hill not see that there are 3 ore nodes behind that bush OR while moving to miss a tree only to find an ore node behind a bush etc.

Anyone would think that there are no trees or ore nodes in this game and you can see them for miles and its easy to be zoomed in on a bike doing 70 and not hit a thing.
If they just change the repair mats to something you have loads of and do not use that would be fine but to use aluminium that takes acid is not great.
P.S I'm old and cant see but thats beside the point :-)

okay yea the zooming on the bike and the general fov while driving sucks, on the other two vehicles fov is better , still not great but for sure better . i'd love to see some changes when it comes to camera and angles like u said , about the damage i don't have much issues , i have tones of matses without even trying tbh but yea i can see what u mean, and i agree with the angles and fov

Friendly reminder to stop your bike before getting off of it. Jumping off so it slides on the ground WILL also cause damage.

Going offroading is quite literally the risk you're taking.

There's enough roads ingame to not need to go offroad ever, and thus you never get the "bush hiding a rock" situation.
If you still choose to take shortcuts by offroading, then that is the price to pay.

Post apocalypse planet and you still have to use the roads.
The shortest route from A to B is a straight line and while in RL I use the roads in a game I want to blast across the place and not have to use the roads or my indicators.

Can you damage other players vehicles like with bio misiles or something. I know hitting them with ur vehicle works.

there is a bug, when i logout i always repair and fully fuel my bike, upon login next day and when i call my bike its half broken and has barely fuel in it, game is wasting my mats and time, the more lootbox'es they add the more bugs creep into this game, i'm sick of that.
