Topic: Cockpit Glass Damage

I think it would be pretty neat to have little holes/skuffs/scratches appear on the glass while in cockpit view of your vehicle when you get hit...

So if you are getting shot at by a sniper from far off you could hear a little *poing* and see a scratch on the glass protecting you. Or when you go head on with a TIE and see his lasers hitting your glass and bouncing away leaving scuffs.

The more you get hit the more clouded and destroyed the glass would get. I am not saying tie it to the damage of the vehicle, only show a mark if a bullet actaully HITS the glass.

Also could this be added to the outside too? Instead with large black scorches and holes added on. Then fade away if you land on a repair pad.

It wouldn't really affect gameplay since you can always switch views. But it would be pretty awesome. After a large battle you roll/hover/fly away with a damaged cockpit instead of the pretty, polished one you entered it with.

Re: Cockpit Glass Damage

This is already in Bf2142 except I don't think it shows up in cockpit view. how ever I belive that can be fixed. Cue response from texture artist, on decals apperaing on the rear of a plane.

Wait, did he said it could be done, or it can't, or we have to wait and see?

The third one, and it probably can.

Re: Cockpit Glass Damage

Whoa, great idea. Is it possible? I haven't seen it in third person in BF: 2142. Could this also be applied to the body? It would be REALLY neat to see the body turn black where a blaster bolt hit.
