Title: Not a real bug...
Post by: bj229r on December 30, 2007, 03:16:33 PM
Just obnoxious. Land an egg or a 5- 8" shell near a GOON,/LVT/M3, afore-mentioned thingy explodes. Once troops get out, nothing kills them unless it physically HITS them. Cannons/eggs useless against unprotected human beings running across ground....:furious

not true. I was in a SB defending a base as the M3 came near the map room a shot killed the M3 and the shell was not on top of him. It was in proximity of him tho.

You misunderstood. He is not talking about the carrying vehicle, but the troops themselves:

I agree...troops should be able to die from blasts, weather it be from a SB, 5/8", or bombs.

I was on the real neat map with the island in the middle (which the nit Christmas squeakers horded out of existence:furious ) And I found that the SB on one base could be trained on the town---kilt a goon as it landed, kilt a P47 as he tried to strafe me...then a goon did an air drop, put 3 8" rounds ON map room...couldnt stop the horde:cry---should have been little trooper nuggets all over the place

Land an egg next to them and they, in real life, wouldn't explode but would still take damage (have to take shrapnel, blast force etc... into account) but with goons, I agree with that... I should be able to take out the whole lot with 2 1k bombs.
Drop one towards the front of the line (not far front, but around 2-3 goons in), and another towards 3/4 marker and by by birdie :aok

This is interesting info guys. I have manned 8" Shore Battery (that can swing onto TOWN) many times. Fire for range on MAP ROOM and sit and wait. As troops run to MAP ROOM, timing of round explosion is critical, it has to HIT entrance of MAP ROOM as troops begin to enter alley way. Kills em every time, needless ta say is a lot of fun to....ROFL !

As far as I have seen, if you drop a 500lb bomb on running troops, or fire rockets into their close vicinity, they just wont die! :mad: :furious
This really needs to change.:(
Its interesting what jtdragon says cause I just haven't been able to kill a single trooper, even when the HE round hits a few feet  away.:huh:confused: :eek:
