Author Topic: Explosion blast radius from iron bombs and shells (Read 952 times)

Intuitively I think that a 250kg bomb landing at say 10 meter of a tiger would not make critical damage to the tank but will shock the crew at least.

Is a realistic idea or not ?

Speaking about shock effects it would be shockingly beautiful to be able to see compression waves spreading from bomb blasts and artillery hits..

It was one of the things that really stuck to my mind while watching discovery channel and old documents of Vietnam airraids.

Compression waves are already visible in AH2, what's missing is the slow-motion video of it

I retract what I said about how I did the blast radius. It turns out that I did set much further out than that. I pretty much have them set as far out as I could reasonably take them. One thing to keep in mind when judging this is that we use a superhumongous crater. I think changing the craters and explosions to accurate proportions would substantially help people gauge distances and effects.

Pyro, would you consider giving a pilot wound feature to anyone caught within the blast area but not killed straight out? Would a blast cause ear loss, loss of bearings, other trauma etc.?

Rgr that Pyro - Am I correct in stating you will look at changing the crater and explosion size depending on the ordanance for the future?

speaking of craters, it'd be cool to have the physical part of them enabled again...

I agree with you on that moot. Running over a crater should cause your landing gear to collapse or cause your vehicle to roll if you're going too fast.

I definitely agree about the blast radius. Trying to hit tanks dead on with 500lbs's is just stupid.... If you miss, no damage, if you hit, they are toast. Not very realistic from my stand point.
