DayZ 1.10 Vehicle vs Small Object Physics
Acknowledged, NormalPublic

Description

I could not find a suitable existing ticket for this on the tracker, so if there is one already I apologise. I am making this ticket to document a situation that is well known among players but seemingly not properly described on the tracker:

Vehicles can under certain conditons be violently and unrealistically affected by small objects thrown at them. To illustrate I have put together two videos. In the first one I parked a Sarka and removed two wheels, then moved away and threw a single rag on it. Observe the effects this has.

In the second video I repeat this with a second Sarka with all four wheels attached - and nothing happens. It is well known already that strange things can happen on server restarts with vehicles lacking a wheel or more - but I could not find any ticket describing the behavior in these videos. The server was vanilla - no mods. Server fps during testing was never below 2500.
