[0909] BTR-80 tracked by thermite

Post by McBumLuv »

Description:
BTR - 80 was supporting infantry in the demolition of enemy FOB assets. Two thermite grenades are thrown on the assets 30 meters away from us, and we get an epileptic bleeding animation flashing similar to when dying out of bounds. After a second thermite is also ignited 30 meters away from us on another asset, my character automatically posts the friendly fire message and we become tracked, with 30 % health.

Steps to reproduce:
Take a BTR-80 (only tested on the 14.5mm version, may affect the BTR-80A and other new vehicles), place thermite grenades within around 30 meters, watch health of vehicle decrease, vehicle get tracked/destroyed.

No screenshots or video.

Tested On:

Iron Ridge AAS-Std , ]CIA[ Langley .909

had the exact same bug.
I was driving an apc and our inf was demolishing a firebase. They threw their grenades well away from us and we suddenly took damage similar to being out of bounds. I drove away and after a while the damage stopped.

Don't know if this is related, but on the same map with hte same vehicle, i apparently ran people over with my bmp, even though they were well away from my apc.

Sometimes, smoke grenades stick to vehicles...though not seen in 0.9 so far...

And the Challanger 2 as well. Neither has Gary nor arty ieds got us on Basrah. But a single insurgent with british kit did. :)
So i guess bug applies rather to the thermite itself than to any particular vehicle.

Nope, it's not fixed, our AR destroyed an Abrams this way. Anyways, this bug is kinda weird, I've tried to destroy British assets on Basrah on local & some empty servers, thermite didn't seem to make any effect. Maybe it is connected with a vehicle being manned or not, or damaged a bit... Hope you'll get this thing fixed. Still, I don't want to whine and really appreciate Dev's work. :)
