    On the PS4 version of Planetside 2, it appears that vehicle debris does not show up properly compared to the PC's version of vehicle debris.

    PC:
    Vehicle debris exists for a few seconds, has a model to show it, can potentially kill people after death

    PS4:
    Vehicle debris still exists, but the model stops rendering the moment the vehicle explodes. This leads to invisible debris, which can be very agitating when you don't know what killed you.

    If it makes it any easier to spot, the debris on PS4 does show up for less than a second, but it then turns invisible via the "green nanite fade out" effect you see when vehicles despawn due to their time running out without passengers.

    Potential Reasoning: The "fade out" timer for debris was set way too low and should be delayed a bit longer. This way the model does not turn invisible upon destruction.
