Now, I dont know if anyone else has had this problem, but I have on 4 different occasions in the past week dropped a 1000lb bomb on top of a Wirble, Tank, or Troop Carrier and not even de-tracked or turreted them. Now, I know all the "Smart Guys" will say, "Did you hit it?", "Was it above 1000ft?" , and the usual your an idiot type of comment. Normally I would double and triple check all the intangibles such as maybe im dropping too low, etc. The only problem is that at least twice I dropped from 4 or 5 thousand feet, watched my bomb hit dead on top of GV, and nothing...then I come back around, and the Vehicle begins to drive away out of the shell hole that the bomb created??? Now, Im an Army Vet that has seen what a 1000lb bomb does to a vehicle when it hits even 50 meters away. The concussion alone would kill every crew member...and as far as I know a dead man cannot drive, this I know. I dont understand, is it the patch, cuz I can shoot down planes no prob so I know its not a glitch or frame rate or ping or whatever. ANyone else had this happen recently???? :mad:

Yep, all the time. Dropped a 1000lber on the radar last night and zilch, nada, nothing. :furious
-
Did you check the expiration date on your bombs? :D
-
You should always draw a smiley on the bomb before starting mission.... it's a requirement :)
-
I havent seen this problem! I get bombed on a regular basis with 1000lbers whilst in a tiger or ww and instant tower for me! Oh and by the way its not 1000ft min alt requirement for bomb to go off, its a 1000ft travel that arms! In other words you can be at 800 agl and drop one as long as it travels 1000ft it will arm!

I get this alot.
Dropped 2 1000 pounders, 4 rockets and all my cannons into a wirble and nothing happened.
Didnt even track him. I obviously killed the turret but WTF man. My tanks get killed when so much as a cough flies my way from an il2.

Always check the Best if dropped by date on the casing! :lol
-
Did you pack your own casings sir? Check the crates those bombs came in, if you see the word ACME painted on them, send them back.
-
I was bombed just last night !!!
I wasnt on the computor at all though :x

I know Moot, but I have seen the film over and over and the same thing...Ords land right on top of GV, Gv still shooting at me, I come around for another run, and he is still sitting in the crater. There is something up with that.
-
Somewhat logical to assume if we occasionally have rubber bullets we have nerf bombs.
-
Was the GV on flat ground, or did the bomb impact at a different elevation?
-
try dropping torps on it. Of course you would have to request the torps from a SAPP member.

Well, quite literally, film reveals all. As in, it isn't a film, but rather the entire stream of data from your computer recorded into a file, including some server-side things. If you're really, really peeved about it, send the film to support@hitechcreations.com and ask them to decompile and analyze it for you. You may have found a bug; I'm proud of being the one that caught the tank-falls-through-terrain-vertex bug that was around since AHI. :) I sent the film in on it and it was fixed in with the terrain update.

A whole lot of sticks seemingly need to go back to TA for jabo training. :x
