ATV Physics and vehicles in general

[_Gothmox_ 0]

There are three things about vehicles that bother me, which I would like to bring to attention.

1.The physics when hitting a tree root or dead tree driving at top speed with an ATV is way too unrealistic. I had instances where i was doing loops in the air for at least 10 seconds or more.

2. There is no advantage using roads, you should be going faster than cross country through the woods or water. Since the sound of footsteps change the engine knows what terrain I am on.

3. You can't leave your vehicle unattended, without it being taken by other player, this is especially a nuisance on PvE because You can't even shoot the thief If there was at least some delay when "stealing" the vehicle, like the ATM or supply-drop loot duration, at least I could try to make a run for it.

Of course more vehicle types would be great and also craftable ones, but I understand that Servers would be littered with bicycles if you could craft them

Thank You for a great game!

A few days/nights back we discussed vehicles in server chat, and the idea came up to air-drop them. Still limited in numbers and maybe you need to craft a radio and pay a small fee upon calling. I also hope you will decide to make them lockable at some point, even if they still can be stolen with eg. lockpick.

I think those are some good ideas.  Maybe we have the ability to store them inside our bases for a certain amount of time without despairing.
