Exploding Firebases

[boilerrat]

Its more annoying as an insurgent without any maxi-pads....

Maybe in .9 insurgents will get bandages....hmmm

[Truism]

A single bandage isn't enough to stop the bleed for a firebase explosion anyway. The damage seems to be about what you'd get from a bodyshot from a 7.62mm.

Why not PR makes the FB destroyable with bullets?

Because sand bag structures are supposed to hold up to infantry fired bullets?

You can kill a firebase by shooting it (or the radio only maybe) with .50 cal and up fire. heat rounds do wonders on them already.

making it so that it takes multiple ppl to destroy a fob is kinda pointless. if 1 guy walks up to the fob and it doesn't go down. that makes spawnkilling possible. and if you make it so 1 guy can't destroy it then what happens if a jet drops a bomb on it? or tank shoots it? enough damage to a fob should take it down. doesn't mean it should hurt you if it does go down. i think if they made it so it doesn't hurt it would make it so all vehicles dont hurt you when they die... am i right?

I don't understand why FOBs exploding when you do not finish shoveling it. Can't it be just remain unfinished and un-spawnable?

[ankyle62]

i say just make them not exploding if possible. the knifing works fine but the exploding thing is irritating.
last night i stopped shoveling to drop smoke and it blew up in my face. it doesnt take that long to drop smoke, kind of ridiculous

[snooggums]

I agree that there is no reason for them to explode at all.

[H.sta]

why would sandbags, webbing and a radio blow up anyway... that only works if MacGyver is involved

[Artnez]

I also don't get why they need to do damage when destroyed. It doesn't seem to serve any purpose whatsoever.
