Server Suggestion Make carbombs detonate at a certain speed

[chopperr]

Suggestion Title: Make carbombs detonate at a certain speed
Suggestion Description: This suggestion would make carbombs detonate at a set speed (instead of engine startup), reducing accidents where additional unrelated cars in close proximity are blown up. This would also make carbombs usable when a target car is in a populated parking lot like the bazaar.
Maybe you should be able to set the speed, but I think it should detonate at the cars near 75% speed mark to prevent it detonating whilst still in a parking lot.

Why should this be added?:
- Less innocent cars being blown up
- Incentivizes carbomb usage
- Reduces shootouts in revenge

What negatives could this have?:
- More fires
- Might not see the car blow up instantly

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Carbombs causing damage to unrelated people and cars

Good suggestion, you can survive 100% of the time if you start the engine and leg it away from the car as fast as u can which makes car bombing people such as the Mayor ineffective and a waste of 12k

How can you survive 100% of the time @Steve Phromkraft? What you explained does not make sense. Chopper explained that the bomb will detonate when you drive 75% of the cars speed mark.

I don't think you know how to read. He is saying its a great idea because right now you can turn on the car and run away before it explodes and survive. Pay attention

They are describing how car bombs currently work.

If I may add, I think a remote detonator would also be nice solution to avoid unwanted casualties. Once it is in a safe location or one of your choosing you could detonate it but this could come with problems if you were to use one yourself to blow a place up...

Sorry I'm not a 50 year old, which first language is english. I thought he was being sarcastic with the "Good suggestion"

 

[Hjalte]

And @Creepis thanks for explanation

 

[BI$HOP]

Great suggestion although how Creepis said, I believe a remote detonator would be way better!
I get nervous everytime I plant a car bomb because sometimes people won't get in their cars for a prolonged amount of time and the area ends up populated with a bunch of cars / people and now you've just earned yourself a 2.5.

I would also just change the damage falloff compared to other bombs. People in the car would be hit, but if you stand like 2m over it would only ragdoll you

u can survive by getting in ur car, turn engine on, get out of the car and run as fast as u can in 1 direction away from the car. By the time the car explodes you are at a distance you take no damage. I said this is a good suggestion as it prevents this issue.

 

[Hjalte]

@Steve Phromkraft that's my bad. I read wrong. Thought you were being sarcastic

 

[Fracket]

I’d rather have bombs explode like mafia assassinations. Plus making cars explode at a certain speed allows people to set a limit on car speed and drive it into people and cars and explode it basically on impact

 

[Tilin]

Sounds good. Prevents the whole bazaar parking from being set on fire

 

[MalekIsWeird]

still should allow players to make it insta-detonation on engine start or choose to set a speed minimum
