Title: Bombs vs Units
Post by: Dingy on September 11, 2000, 08:44:00 AM

Is it just me or does anyone else thing bomb damage vs units is porked?

I dropped 2 1000s on an Ostwind which was moving and never got a kill.  A 1000er should kick its bellybutton shouldnt it in a near blast?

Bombs have never worked well against moving vehicles. They work spectacularly against stationary ones. Is it realistic. I dont know. numbers on the blast protection of the different vehicles would extremely subjective and hard to come by.

Truth is-Ostwind and M16s should be very vulnerable to near-misses.

Open roof makes a lot of splinters rain down on the crew  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)...and it is quite nasty rain, if you ask me  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif).

Patches coming, remember?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I can't tell you how many times near-misses blew my turret all to hell, and wounded my driver...don't complain about killing one until you drive one, your near misses are damaging the OST's...believe me.
