Mods
Following is what was laoded during testing before this post. This has occured for over a year not, on different muliplayer servers with different mods.

  • Arma 3: 2.16 (profiling)
  • CBA_A3 v3.17.1.240424
  • ACE3: 3.17.1

Description
With Advanced car damage enabled. Damage to the vehicle body can cause the egnine to suddenly take FULL damage. Sometimes also does the same to turret(s) on the vehicle. Some hits to the engine itself also seems to fully detsroy the engine. In vanilla It occurs with the APEX Dagors, and the KARTS gokart.
With mods its common with many light vehicles across many mods tested. First noticed with the RHS uparmored humvees not being so 'uparmored'.

Steps to reproduce:
Place a dagor or gokart, shoot the body, avoid the engine. (amount of rounds to trigger bug may vary)

Expected behavior:
I expect only the body to be damaged, and not the engine effectivly imploding due to cosmetic bodypanel damage from a handfull of rounds. Dont know why turrets are made of glass either.

Where did the issue occur?

  • Dedicated / Self-Hosted Multiplayer / Singleplayer / Editor (Singleplayer) / Editor (Multiplayer) / Virtual Arsenal
    (all of the above)

Additional context:
Helped (me) narrow down the issue by using the following code on the target vehicle. Id see the body take damage and it seemed 50/50, when the body took dmaage the engine also took damage. Apon checking it was always FULL damage to the engine. Hits to the engine sometimes also fed back 2 hits to the engine, assuming the second one was what instakilled it.

this addEventHandler ["Dammaged", {
_damagedPart = _this select 4;
systemChat _damagedPart;
}];

This seems small with only effecting these 2 vics, but once othe rmods are involved(cup, rhs, ffaa, anything that adds light vics as far as ive noticed its like half the cars added) Its pretty common and missionbreaking.

Turn it off if it's such a problem - Advanced Car Damage is experimental after all.

Imean, thats the point of making a issue/bug report is it not?
The bit you quited was just my take on commonality and severity, 2 things you usually wanna include in a bug report.
