Gas generators can be much quieter, and are thus easier to kill without attracting attention.  There are also generators that run on natural gas or propane, which will react in an entriely different way to explosives or gunshot than gas or diesel. It'd be kind of nice to have game stuff for all of that, is all I'm saying.  Sure, you can just roll disable device and call it good - but it's the details that lend the game verisimilitude, and the verisimilitude (but not realism - blech! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) that makes the game so pleasing a pastime.   YMMV, of course. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
