can anyone see buildings exploding?
« on: January 20, 2017, 04:34:32 PM »
Not sure if this is a bug or what.  I can hear explosions at the town and strat from a few miles away but even when on top of the area, I still can't see the buildings exploding.  I can see the tank when close enough but don't see his handiwork, which makes it harder to find the culprit.  The damaged buildings are visible but no fire, smoke or visual cue of any kind that something is exploding.

Is this just on my end?

 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

I can see the explosions when I am doing the damage. But since you mentioned it I do not see it when someone else does.

Had not thought about it until now, but I don't think I see an actual explosion when someone else fires in town.

Same here. If I fire on a building I see an explosion but if I'n sitting on the hill overlooking a town being shelled I can see the flash of the GVs gun but don't see buddings explode.

Sometimes if I'm looking at the building at the moment it gets hit, I see a very fast explosion graphic almost like I'm imagining it. Offline with the drones I'm seeing the new explosion fire graphic almost like it is more opaque and since patch16, sometimes a yellow and orange solid flame graphic like old school. Other times when I kill a drone, the explosion graphic is a dark gray square.

I think it's because the sound travels too slow in the game.

You know, ligtning strikes and yadada.

Too slow here.

Sound travels the correct speed, is easy to test and calculate with the maned 88's.

And that is the coolest feature of the game, the distant explosions sounds just awesome.

Haven't paid that much attention to buildings exploding, but did notice that the enemy cv group that was firing on the base we were lifting off from last night

I could see the explosions from the big guns, when they hit on target!

I would like to see buildings explode like the tanks do. Buildings just go from up to down very quickly.  :pray

About sounds, in the WW1 arena, I like it when you buy the farm and immediately up another plane, just a few seconds go by and you can hear your own plane crashing/exploding from your kite taking off. Makes me laugh.  :rofl
