Bofors unkillable

[hauns]

Today, during one of the many camps we encounterd an unkillable bofors.

This player had been killable earlier in a bofors according to the logs, so i dont belive theres intended cheating in anyway.

I have seen it before several maps ago, bofors just sitting in ab, tanks shooting at it and still just spin around killing everything killable in range until it runs out of ammo.

So my question is, why is this happening to the bofors, is there something with lag ?. updates ? or just the really bad dmg model on that unit ?

[GOPHUR]

Don't think it is the damage model.

A few days ago my bofors managed to survive 4 JU87 bomb loads. I was able to fire till out of ammo and sustained little damage. In this case the JUs were diving straight down and releasing bombs while halos were still greyish, I could see the bombs headed right for me but managed to survive each time.

[GOPHUR]

Where you see bombs isn;t necessarily where they hit but I'll go drop a sc500he on myself and see if I die. BRB.

[GOPHUR]

That's a quick death.

[Hinfoos]

how about rifles?

are they supposed to take 3-4 shots to die most of the times?

or is it my ****ty aim that only grazing their skin?

[GOPHUR]

Dunno Hins. Lot going on there. Most head shots will impart enough joules of damage to kill immediately on first shot. Most torso shots too. But some shots will only cause bleed out which will lead to death so even if he doesn't die he is going to die so it is already recorded as a kill.

Observations can also be impacted by lag though that looks to be improved for most with the new 1.34 host.

[Hinfoos]

yes but there is not much time if you need them dead at the moment so they dont kill anyone else or yourself since they will undoubtly look around for me and bombard my arse.

Around 3 days ago I was able to keep firing after my gunner was dead wasn't this fixed?

[imded]

A few hours ago, I was a bofors. Died real easy.

I think the EI just sneezed and whamo, was ded.

So, I believe the above situation was a rare case.

I watched a pak and bofors get bombed yesterday, the pak depsawned, but the bofors kept shooting... I honestly think the bomb virtually landed on the bofors.

[GOPHUR]

You drop a bomb on a bofors, it dies. There might be an odd case if you hit it precisely on the object origin but I find that near impossible.

Death trigger is back to some extent Gophur. Had it yesterday in Arras. Was able to shoot bofors (though not aim) until the red bar reached zero.

And the next time ei sneezed and killed my bofors...

I have managed to evade death a few times when i have seen bombs coming, by turning my gunner away from the blast ie using the spotter as a shield for the gunner....doesn't always work of course but this may have been what you saw.

I have no idea if that is intended design but it can work.

I got 2 times that accounts for 100% of time which I was being hit so I kept firing even when I was dead and the screen went black I was able to keep firing until my ammo was out
