I suggested in the private Testing forum that vehicles in Jailbreak should be prevented from being damaged and moved by enemy fire when locked (ie when no one had entered the vehicle since it spawned).
However, we'd like to know what the public opinion is on damaging locked enemy vehicles:
Default:
The current setup allows, say, the red team to freely pass the blue team's locked vehicles and destroy them to bits (or leave them nearly destroyed). They can also be moved by weapon damage or by pushing them while in other vehicles.
This setup is the same as in ONS, and when you're killed you obviously respawn instantly. However in JB if newly released prisoners pop into an almost destroyed vehicle they'll soon be heading back to jail, which could have a significant impact on the round. It also kind of spoils the fact that there are vehicles to play around with in the first place.
Suggestion:
The idea of this bit of code (or it could be an addon) would be to make all locked vehicles invulnerable and unmoveable by enemy fire. This would ensure that all vehicles when initially entered have full health and are where they should be. The down side of this is that it is a break from the norm, and it appears a little unrealistic too to see a manta resist a tank shell.
However, gameplay is the deciding factor for this, so would you rather vehicles were invulnerable and unmoveable, or left as they are with the default setup?
