J-beam strength

[Raging Raider]

so, recently I viewed another discussion about the realistic damage in Beam.NG drive, and I agree. The vehicles feel like they're made out of paper and it's starting to become annoying.

And thus, my request is that the J-beam structures get an strength update if possible.

Each car strenght is based on what you'd expect from the year they come from.
ie. A burnside (50s) would be much more fragile and easier to wreck than an ETK800 (2000s).

Also, vehicles are delicate machines, you can't expect to torture them and still be able to drive straight :)

I already figured out that a car isn't a machine that posesses godmode, yet they feel very fragile.

paper? if anything, they are too strong sometimes. Cars survive some crashes they really shouldnt.

True.

yet they also die on spots where they should've just survived. I mean, a fall from 6 feet will more often than not destroy my suspension.

depends of one type of car you're dropping. What purpose was the car built for. A Race SBR4 with all race setup wont beable to cope aswell as a offroad Pick up.

figured that out long ago, yet it's still stupid when something like an offroad vehicle gets it's wheel turned 90 degrees by just hitting a pot-hole. that ♥♥♥♥ should hold.

The only thing that needs to be stronger is tachanka's turret.

Back to the topic. Try analysing the critical impact in slow motion, look at the speedometer, look at the wheel and the way it responds to the impact. imagine doing that irl with a similar offroad car. See if you still think beam car is weak.
