question about the air vehicles

[culkid]

if your about to crash, is it going to be like BF 1942, where you can press a button and a parachute comes out?

[ABRAXAAS]

No you just dont get hurt falling and yes you can eject , theres enertial dampeners to absorb the impact :D

[culkid]

whats that?

[LesserShade]

inertial dampeners = parachute. However, seems like i heard that the inertial dampeners don't kick in unless you jump from a certain altitude.. so if you jump out of your vehicle and you are relatively low, you can still get killed

[culkid]

^^ thanks

[Falcon]

ooh cool i didn't think that tey were inplimenting a "parachute"

[Falcon]

I was curious, will max armors have the inertial dampeners?

[culkid]

to ^^ u.. i hope they dont because max will be hard to kill anyway

[Flashingfish]

They're called "kinetic dampeners" not intertial dampeners.

[Galhagar]

and yes all armor get kinetic dampeners. And it is true that the higher you jump the safer you are. :D

[Deadlock]

do these kenetic dampeners look like anything? or is it just assumed that there's something slowing ur fall?

yep, you jsut slow down... or at least thats how it is now, who knows if they will add an art to it.... now you jsut sorta fall out of the sky lol :p

I wonder why they call them "kinetic" dampeners...if something slowed down kinetic energy, the molecules in the person's body would slow down and stop giving off heat and they'd freeze to death. Should call them "Inertiogravitational" dampeners. :p

In physics, Kinetic Energy is the amount of energy you have from movement. If you decrease your kinetic energy, one of the ways is to decrease your velocity, hence, kinetic dampeners.

[Edit: If anyone is wondering, the formula is actually E(k)=(mv^2)/2 where E(k) is actually E subscript k which stands for Kinetic Energy, and m is your mass, and v is your velocity. So if you want to be a smartass, yes, you could lower your kinetic energy by lowering your mass ;)]
