[Implemented] Suspects car in display

[Kyllone]

Hello!

I've been thinking that when im copping and someone calls backup (im driving for example in FXO) I have to spec the suspect every time to check is he driving in a XRG (which is possible to bust with FXO) or is he driving with on XFR, LX6, XRR etc.

It's not a big deal but I think it would be more comfortable and easier that the display in up would show which car suspect is driving.

What im looking for is this;

This is a normal view how the screen looks:

This is what im getting to;

And now, I dont want posts that say "I can catch LX6 with FXO" thats not the point.

That would be a pretty nice addition, since in real policeradio, you get told what car the suspect is driving also.

Could lead to more people not joining a chase, but i sometimes am also quite annoyed when i join a chase with a xfr/ufr suspect or worse(xrr,fxr,fzr). With little skill he is gone in under 1 minute.

Agree with all that's been said here, nothing to add.

Like the idea.

+1 The more info the better.

It may even encourage people to be more fair and choose a slower car - if people could see you were using lets say FZR, cops wouldn't be likely to join the chase. People would quickly get bored and want more of a challenge when being chased.

I like the idea but not your reasoning.

I won't join this chase if he's in a better car than me.. Your not going to bust him if your not going to try

Good suggestion. +1.

A lot of real cops use similar reasoning though. If you're very unlikely to catch someone, why chase them and encourage them to break more road laws? IRL a cop would try to pull the suspect over. If the suspect fails to stop and the suspect is in a higher performance car, travelling outrageously fast, he/she will call it off because the danger outweighs the need to continue.

I know it's only a game and if a crash occurs as a result it doesn't really matter. However, it's not particularly fun having a 2 min chase with a suspect where the distance just rapidly increases from begging to end. All you want to know the whole time is if you could keep up in the same car.

I think the best chases are between good drivers in similar performance cars and the added info would encourage that.

Good suggestion

Yeah exactly. I wouldnt go chasing an FZ or an LX car in an XRT for example purely for the fact, if they are adept in those vehicles, I would lose the chase in a matter of a few minutes, if that y'know ? Its not about stats, its about RPing the role of a COP. I wouldnt want to chase any and all vehicles, I would look like a complete fool and surely it would be in the best interest to make sure all vehicles are ready to respond to more appropriate chases ?

Be good to see if they are in a GTR car, any other car you can still have a chance, depends who would be driving the fz5 whether be worth to chase or not

Why is there even a 5 word restriction, everyone just says /msg2short anyway

I suggested this a about a year ago. Got denied due to the fact that it would encourage cops that think about their stats to not join a chase on a faster car.

Though I like the idea there is a problem. For example if a pretty severly damaged FZ5 is chased by a FZ5 then a TBO could keep up but wont join cause he thinks he wont be able to keep up.

On the upside, cops that are ready as backup will see what car the suspect has and can go to pits and switch car quicker than if they have to spec the guy.
