Hahahaa.... Thanks for posting that. One of the funniest bug presentations I've ever seen.

'What the hell? I'm flying in the air!'..... **SPLAT** **SPLAT**

[mrwinkie]

ROFLMAO.... love the two screams as they hit....

Happend to me last weekend I think. Bridge came up and I died.

[maxxim]

Absolutely needs a ticket.

BattleCircus Europe?

Can't help to laugh about it!

[aj1874]

lol....that is funny. :-)

Rofl!

A bridge already killed me this campaign while I was repairing it, but I did not launch me 300ft into the air.

No vid. I'll try replicating this but a step by step would save much time. Remember a bullet list is always better than a video even though videos are funnerest.

Confirmed while testing bridges today.

To replicate:-

Stand on bridge end while placing last repair kit required to repair bridge. Bridge model changes from destroyed to repaired state, you get launched 30 feet in the air and then "yaaaaaaaaahhhh" splat! upon landing.

Ticketed for Ramp.

Sorry Gophur, dont know what would stop you from seeing the youtube video.. you really need to fix that to get a laugh out of this.

I thought my text description was complete by mentioning "just repairing bridge" but it does seem to me now that you probably need to be also standing on it, rather than near it in the grass.

The bridge pops to repaired state causing some kind of collider reaction with infantry ragdoll system.. such as when airplanes strafe the infantry shooting them into the sky.. or seems to me that would be related.

Intermission - Tested different bridge, in NE Antwerp next to Schilde depot. This is a flat bridge with no arch, and it did not launch us..

[DOC]

So the test needs to determine if it's only arched bridges that do this then. Railway bridges too need to be included in the "flat bridge" test.

[Tigger6]

Huy bridge killed me, and it is a flat bridge. It did not launch me though.

When we figure out what kind of bridge does this, we need to get someone with fraps and have a massive sapper flinging party for giggles.

I'm very serious.

I smell a WillyTee video coming "Sappers in the sky, with satchels".

[munchkin]

I wonder what would happen if an enemy aircraft would fly into a sapper in mid air!
