Tanks and wheeled vehicles especially do not take mobility damage on vertical impact. Nor do occupants in most of them.

Description

I noticed that tank tracks are currently indestructible, or rather the suspension is. Wheeled vehicles will destroy their tires if the wheel hits a hard surface along the horizon, however falling from a height does not appear to damage the vehicle in any way. Likewise the driver does not appear to take damage unless on an open vehicle such as the quad bike.

I discovered this with a bit of silly (yet very fun) driving around aimlessly in the airport at high speeds..I think the videos speaks for theirselves.

In all honesty I'm not sure if I want to report this one, the authenticity says yes but the fun factor is saying no so..your choice.

Steps To Reproduce

Spawn any wheeled vehicle and gain speed above 40, then ramp off a mound of dirt or other hilly shape, the higher you go the more air you get, yet despite how high you can go you will never damage the vehicle unless you smash into a wall or object, never the ground.

Additional Information

Physics are fun.

The slope of were you land and its direction should play a role in the damage received. Like terrain acts as a landing ramp and you receive no damage. Or you land on an upwards facing hill and take more damage.
