[0909] New VBIED Garbage Truck Can't Be Killed by HAT???

[Sex_Cactus]

The other day I was playing on Al Basra and saw the new bomb truck (some call it Garry... ?), so I fired a HAT at it and hit it square. I tracked it, which apparently means it's now just a little slower because it started coming after me. Now it's headed directly for me, maybe 100m away, and I hit the crew cab right in the middle and NOTHING HAPPENS. The driver continues driving at me, over rough terrain, all this on only a couple of wheels, and then blows up the whole neighborhood.

You'd think a HAT, which is capable of taking out an MBT in one hit, maybe two, could at least take out a bomb truck in one hit.

Could have been some hitreg fckup

yeah on Fallujah yesterday i emptied a 50.cal magazine into into "Gary" and nothing! , it kept on rolling and i aimed for the windshield at the person driving. Surely i must of shot out the driver

I have also tested this and found the same result. I was mucking around on my own Lan server and drove the new bomb truck (DUMPY i think) to US main and then change to US. When i got a HAT kit and fired it at the truck it just sat there like nothing had happened after it got hit....

but when i used the 0.5 cal Humvee aiming at the engine i could kill it.

This happend to our defens squad too in al bashra, we got 2 x .50 cal + saw, shooting it whole time, when the truck was coming. Both .50 cals + was emptied to the truck and nothing happend to it, it wasnt funny moment

I guess in the first patch GARY will be modified for good!

Also the INS technical is so powerful i've seen one driving on Asad Khal just ramming our IDF trucks and they explode right away.We felt like some weird fast tank was chasing us...

[Arnoldio]

Its too strong...

Indeed, its confirmed that It will be nerfed. As for the OP, it seems like it was a hitreg glitch. I had a base defense squad up on Fallujah West, and We had a guy that took down all vehicular threats coming to main with a HAT. One of those being a Dump Truck, which he nailed with one shot to the front bumper.

A 120mm shell would do

[Astromici]

Maybe the truck only takes damage if you hit the cab or wheels, but not if you hit the main body? I'm not sure if that's codable or not, but it makes since.

even a 120 mm round does nothing i was driving it round on our sever (UKWF) first time took 1 tow hit to the fornt of vechile it did nothing i kept driving and blew up my target, second time tank hit me still nothing mannaged to kill the tank by detonating it 60 meters away?? that thing has huge amount of blast damge! crazy.

Actually, I was in the Abrams again on Fallujah West yesterday, We were on the main road, with APFDS-T on in the anticipation of "Gary". I was told it was coming out of their main, and I got a visual, took a careful shot, and aimed for the side door, fired, and the vehicle kept going... it wasn't even smoking. I think a re-export and fix on the hitboxes should be done.

The hits definitely registered. The first one did for sure because I tracked it. The second one couldn't have not registered as the missile exploded and the sound effect that you get when it hits a vehicle sounded.

The second HAT hit directly in the front of the cab, so that's not it either.

I had a Sniper Kit and I was fooling around and pulled out my pistol and shot at the cab driver on al basrah from 100m away and I killed him. Now seeing in this post that the HAT kit couldnt do it but my pistol could it a sign for concern and laughter.
