Lanc's without wings or tails still flying
« on: April 18, 2007, 02:24:26 PM »
The other night several of us attacked a box of lanc's.  1 went down whenI came in with a la took off both wings of lead plane and he still flys.  Go in and get wing on drone, it keeps flying.  Another friendly shoots off other wing and rest of body.  Now we have two bomb bay sections flying without any wings of tail section and they are still firing the tial guns.  Can not beleive what we are seeing so I go in real close and empty remaing cannons while fliming.  Get shot down but they would not go down.  As far as I know the guy landed because we could not kill those two little boxes.  Have not had seen since or heard anyone else bring subject up but havn't been on that much.  Will send film to HTC if they want.    BLT280

First of all, drones will fly until they are blown up, as they don't seem to have to conform to the laws of physics.  Have you seen the way they pop up to 150ft at like.. 40mph?

I can also tell you from experience that the Lanc will fly without wings (quite well actually).  Yes I'm sure this isn't realistic, and probably is a bug that should be addressed... but it's still fun to land them that way.

Been playing the game for 5 or 6 yrs and the only time I have ever seen this in in the off line arena.  Only parts of the 2 lancs in the air were from the bombbay forward.   Yea it is a bug.  Maybe a one time only deal but thought HT would want to know.

See similar things before, rarely -- the the Amazing Wingless Burning Zero comes to mind.

They have a hard time addressing without a film. With a film they can deconstruct exactly what happened and why. So, if you see any weirdness, start that recorder!
