Punching a vehicle gets you a morale boost

Open CaptainCosmotic opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

What is wrong

If you order a merc to punch a vehicle he gets a morale boost from the punch. It's an easy exploit if you want to have mercs at max morale. Just go to the ice cream truck or hummer and punch it. Not tested with tanks. I'm not saying it needs to be fixed since the game is full of such exploits and I love them. I'm just reporting it in case there will be a future "no/less exploit" version.

JA2S version Game version Vanilla bug? Used to work?
v0.20.0 JA2 Gold English gog yes yes

It should be noted that this only works for fairly strong mercs who manage to trigger the MORALE_DID_LOTS_OF_DAMAGE event this way. Any opinions if this is a quaint vanilla feature that should stay or a terrible exploit that must be fixed?

If you can actually damage vehicles that way, it seems kind of fine to me — people are destructive jerks.

No, they don't get damage in my version.
