Title: Empty Bomb Casings???
Post by: Scotty55OEFVet on September 08, 2009, 06:37:38 AM
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:

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.

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 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
