Oh.

As a side note, I remember FH researching this and finding a way to let players shoot off the engines of B-17 bombers. It was never implemented, though.

We thought about it for Warp, and the best we could come up with was that if you made the turrets, hangars, etc. of cruisers separate vehicles carried by the "mother cruiser", that'd make it possible to destroy them.

Something to point out the project reality destructable tank parts may not be as good as you think. Destructable children wasn't possible in BF2 (unless they found a way around it) so most likely every tank has a single crippled state as opposed to the video GD made a while back where you could shoot the wings off a 2142 gunship, each causing the gunship to spiral out of control in the correct direction.

Hover tanks lose their repulsors, regular tanks lose their threads, and walkers lose their engines. No prob'.

Don't let that unbalance it, as rebel vehicles are generally repulsorlift ones.

Walkers are entirely different though due to the leg animation etc. so no 1 leg blowing off.

I hope you will, cause it sounds pretty cool.

Blowing up one leg of an ATST, and let gravity do the rest of the work. Sweet

yep, even if this stuff doesnt make it to 1st release we will be able to add it later...if we choose to.

Without wanting to give away alot, we actually were able to implement (or more accuratly GD did) quite a few months back, the ability for instance to destroy a wing off a tie fighter and have it go spinning around etc

so destroyable child objects that effect performance we have been contemplating for some time.

but we shall see when the first release rolls around, as to exactly what features make it in and what don't

Yeh would look nice, lol
This could allow you to sabotage viecles that belong to the enemy as well?

I'd love to see a hover tank get hit and slam into the ground from loss of repulsorlifts, rendering it immobile. It'd make for a nice cinematic moment.

I'd like to see a well placed shot on a tank damage its repulsorlifts (or legs in the case of Imps) making it unable to walk straight.

this you could intergrate, like in the Star Wars movie, like on X-wings where a stabaliser locks up. Maybe reducing it monuverability as well
