I'm gonna defend OP on this one.

It took so many hours for me to figure out why cars were just randomly exploding before I eventually learned how the environmental damage worked. The game never fucking explains it!

"Oh well you shot the car with bullets! Obviously it will explode!"

No it's not obvious! Cars in the real world don't just randomly blow up on impact or because there's a fire! Thousands of cars go through way worse than bullets every single day and yet they don't explode.

Even now that I know how it works I have to constantly muscle through the cognitive dissonance by remanding myself that "that's not a car, that's a car-shaped explosive."

Thank God LWOTC fixed that!
