Some tanks had a system that automatically detects and extinguishes fires in the engine compartment.
Maybe add this to the game?
Engine etc. is still in pieces after the fire so tanker still needs to go out and repair it. Untill the repair, “extinguishing foam” is still in the compartment so it can’t burn.
Also for balance reason maybe limit it to one charge. After it is used, you need to go to resupply.
Tbh I don’t know if it would be usefull or even doable (game engine and stuff). But it would be a nice gimmic.
I wrote this because 50% (probably more but I don’t want to exaggerate) of successful penetrations end up in tank exploding. Fire suppression is not really helpful against this.
Personally I don’t mind it. Except for “you are too far away” thing it seems to work fine to me.
Most of the time I don’t have a chance to fix my tank anyway.
But yeah, it’s far slower than the previous system.
