    We have a cannon, but the game is not called BeamNG.fight. or something similar
    I think weather events would be very interesting and cool because we have wind and rain already.

    We actually have the option to adjust the wind speed , which also affects the physics.

    a first step could be increase the limit of wind speed , so we could make cars fly through the air. (or have a nice storm simulation - like irl , when wind hit's your car )

    this shouldn't be too difficult i think.

    You can make cars fight if you want to. Just put the cannons inside the cars so their nose is pointing outside of the car's engine and do the same to the other car. Shoot both cannons and see which one did the most damage to the opposite car.
    This is indeed a driving simulator/game, but it should simulate all the aspects of the real world IMO.

    Yhea I know, but it's not a finish features, you didn't have the wet road and all, like the dev had planned

    Maybe with an AWD Subaru, but definitely not a 2WD car.

    I think that would be kinda hard to drive in snow. it would kinda have the same physics as driving in sand or mud, but more slippery.

    @SixSixSevenSeven as in, offroad thick deep snow or icy, snowy road?

    I had to drive a FWD once on snowy road without chains for a while, I just kept it on high gears to avoid spinning.
    Another time I did put the chains on, but there was so much traffic I didn't go past 30 km/h anyways.

    I guess driving on deep snow would not much different than driving on mud (which I also have no experience doing)

    that offroad thick deep snow that totally covers roads... nah, about 4 inches on a road. FWD. Its really not hard. Also driven a mitsibushi shogun in snow, used 4wd locked centre/rear as was the state I got in the car at to move it out of a snow drift, then decided to see how it drove pure rwd open diffs, had no issues.

    Yeah, FWD in the snow is quite fun actually, also easy. I live in New Hampshire where we get 120 inches of snow a winter sometimes. In two years of driving through snow storms, I slid once because I was being an idiot. Otherwise, my snow tires help keep the car perfectly straight during snow.

    "Needing" 4WD for snow is just a marketing strategy for people who are afraid to drive. I've seen plenty 4WD vehicles (usually pickups) off the side of the road (Just love the false sense of confidence 4WD gives). All comes down to knowing how to get out of a slide, something they don't teach in driver's ed.

    4wd in snow does one thing and one thing only, allows you to pull away more easily. It wont help keeping you straight, it wont help you corner, it wont help you stop. It lets you pull away from a standstill, and if you cant do that without the assistance of 4wd I shudder to think how poor your throttle and clutch control must be.
