Title: Bounced bomb?
Post by: SKYGUNS on August 17, 2008, 04:41:44 AM

I mess with a Sherman a lot when I'm waiting for GVs from spawn so for the heck of it i shoot friendlies with smoke, theres like 20 of us so its not like they don't know were already here, so while I'm doing that i just watch the rounds bounce up and go high then drop just to keep me busy. Now that's always happend with a smoke round with nonlethal damage, but could you imagine a 500 lb bomb hitting a M8 and bouncing off? That happened to me today, i came in tanktown with a A20 dropped a 500 lb bomb on him, and this is like the perfect drop coming most likely to the 12 o clock at the perfect alt but perhaps too perfect because it hit him and bounced up about 800 ft before coming down again like a huge oscar mortar round and exploding...
Laughed my butt off but was a little upset that i waisted a perfect bomb the only thing it did is make one hell of a dent           :lol :huh

no i dont have proof i wasnt ready for it....

Did you drop too low so that the bomb did not arm?

I had a rocket bounce off an M3 a couple of weeks ago.  I came in high too, was surprised.  No idea where it ended up - never saw it explode, just saw the small bounce sprite.
