Description

💥 Superb Warfare: Persistent Wrecks

Turn destroyed vehicles into lasting battlefield wrecks instead of temporary effects.

Superb Warfare: Persistent Wrecks changes how destroyed Superb Warfare vehicles behave. Normally, a wreck disappears when the white SBW wreck bar reaches zero. With this mod installed, wrecks remain in the world, continue burning, produce smoke, create danger zones, and can later be extinguished or salvaged.

✨ Features

🚛 Persistent Vehicle Wrecks

Destroyed tanks and vehicles no longer immediately disappear when the normal Superb Warfare wreck timer ends.

The wreck remains visible in the world until a player removes it using the Defuser.


🔥 Extended Wreck Burning

After the normal SBW wreck bar reaches zero, the wreck continues burning for an extended period.

The default additional burn time is approximately 40 minutes, but this can be changed in the configuration.


🌫️ Dynamic Smoke and Fire Effects

Burning wrecks produce atmospheric effects such as:

  • Black smoke

  • Flames

  • Sparks

  • Burning particles

  • Reduced smoke as the wreck cools down

Once a wreck has been completely extinguished, its heavy smoke will not suddenly return.


🏳️ Long-Distance Smoke Beacons

Large burning wrecks can create a subtle smoke plume that remains visible from farther away.

This makes destroyed vehicles easier to locate and creates a much more immersive battlefield atmosphere.

Smoke beacons can be adjusted or disabled through the configuration.


🧯 Functional Fire Extinguisher

The mod adds a custom Fire Extinguisher that can be used directly on burning wrecks.

Aim at the wreck and spray it to reduce the remaining burn time. Correctly aiming at the wreck extinguishes it faster.

Once fully extinguished:

  • Flames disappear

  • Heavy smoke stops

  • Secondary explosion risks are removed

  • The wreck remains available for salvage


🛠️ Defuser Wreck Removal

Use the Superb Warfare Defuser to remove destroyed vehicles.

Removing a wreck is not instant. You must hold the Defuser on the wreck while a progress bar fills.

This prevents players from instantly deleting large wrecks during combat.


🔩 Vehicle Salvage

Successfully removing a wreck with the Defuser rewards the player with salvage materials.

The amount and quality of salvage depends on the destroyed vehicle:

  • Light vehicles provide smaller salvage rewards

  • Armored vehicles provide better rewards

  • Large tanks provide the most valuable salvage

  • Vehicles carrying ammunition may provide different materials

Salvage rewards and removal timings can be customized in the configuration.


💣 Secondary Explosions

Burning wrecks may occasionally suffer a smaller secondary explosion.

Secondary explosions are more likely with:

  • Tanks

  • Armored vehicles

  • Vehicles carrying ammunition

  • Large military vehicles

  • Wrecks that have been burning for an extended time

These explosions are smaller than the original vehicle destruction but can still damage nearby players.


⚠️ Explosion Warnings

Unstable wrecks may warn nearby players before a secondary explosion occurs.

Possible warnings include:

  • Crackling sounds

  • Red sparks

  • Unstable ammunition effects

  • Action-bar warnings such as:

Unstable ammunition

Pay attention to these warnings and move away from the wreck!


☢️ Burning Wreck Danger Zones

Standing on or inside a burning wreck can cause light fire damage.

Large tanks and heavily armored vehicles create more dangerous wreck zones than smaller vehicles.

Danger zones can be adjusted or completely disabled through the configuration.


🎮 How to Use

  1. Destroy a Superb Warfare vehicle.

  2. Wait for the normal white SBW wreck bar to reach zero.

  3. The destroyed vehicle will remain as a persistent wreck.

  4. Allow the wreck to burn out naturally or use the Fire Extinguisher.

  5. Use the Superb Warfare Defuser to salvage and remove the wreck.

  6. Hold the Defuser on the wreck until the progress bar is complete.

  7. Collect the recovered salvage materials.


🧯 Extinguishing a Wreck

To extinguish a burning wreck:

  1. Equip the custom Fire Extinguisher.

  2. Aim directly at the wreck.

  3. Hold the use button to spray.

  4. Continue spraying until the fire is completely extinguished.

Extinguished wrecks will no longer produce heavy smoke or trigger secondary explosions.
