[SUGGESTION] Keeping captured vehicles from main targets as "war trophies"
Hi Xeno and others who are interested,

back in Arma2 days Domination allowed for capturing dismounted enemy vehicles and to e.g. bring it to your base and to use them in a future attack on another main target. That worked pretty well even with downed helos etc. I cannot tell whether or not this was intended by you, Xeno, however, I think that this a pretty awesome meta game of trying not to totally annihilate the enemy but to damage the vehicles only as much as needed to take them over eventually :-)

Regarding the latest Domi version (coming back after a year), captured vehicles simply disappear after some time (presumably when the garbage collection routine is running). That is, even if one of these vehicles is currently mounted with some of my AIs, the tank/APC/etc. will be removed from the map including the crew.

However, when playing on Tanoa, I once managed to capture a tank in Harcourt and to let my AI drive it all up back to the Airport. This tank didn't disappear but it seems it was rather an exception and I also don't have clue what the conditions are.

My questions:

* Do you think that the "collect war trophies" feature is a reasonable addition to Domi and should maybe supported in future versions?

* Is it currently rather a bug or a feature that manned captured vehicles are currently removed after some time?

Cheers

PS: Is your PC still broken and how much money do you still need to replace parts or to buy a new one?

I've just checked it again... Enemy vehicles spawned at main targets get deleted about 3 minutes after a main target gets cleared.... But, if such a vehicle gets moved more than 100 meter during those 3 minutes it won't get deleted. Not perfect I know, but at least a start...

Awesome! That should perfectly address it!
