every modern vehicle has a suspension system already installed in it, which not only helps with bumpy roads but also disperses energy on a collision. all you need to do is watch videos of crash test dummies to see how a car crumples and see where a majority of the damage happens… in MOST cases, when a car crashes (even upwards of 60-80 miles per hour) the back half of the car is completely unaffected [as seen in videos like this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGUgXV4hTVo)

also… i’m not trying to downplay the fact that you introduced shock absorbers, it works for what it is and i appreciate you for contributing… its the radiant damage system for impacts thats the problem here.

Yes i agree with you, it’s really weird having to explain why the rear of a vehicle does not get as damaged as the front with so many test crash videos on youtube. But let me talk about the gameplay perspective: it’s really boring and frustrating to have your battery/engine/things that are hard to fix damaged because you hit the front of the car at a low speed, i understand it’s realistic and i usually prefer realistic things, but in this case, at least for me, it’s not fun.

In this case there is a old car vs recent car and even the old car rear looks intact after the impact: [https://youtu.be/TikJC0x65X0?t=22](https://youtu.be/TikJC0x65X0?t=22)
