917 Bombs dont hurt armor.

[Conman51]

i just got off a round of TG on quingling, and the british bomber, dont know the name, i think its the tornado, its bombs dont hurt armor, twice, i saw a bomb hit an APC, and it just drove away with white smoke, and YES i am sure it hit, i am an experienced spotter and i know how to laze and every thing but this bug just pissed me off

another time in the same round i saw another bomb hit a tank right on, and there was almost no damage there at all, it just drove right out of the smoke cloud

A couple nights ago i was on the recieving end of one of those bombs. I believe 2 were dropped, and my APC and a tank drove away nearly unscratched

Its a known bug and occurs when the lase doesn't stick properly to the vehicle. Often it happens when the lase is a few feet in the air above the target, or is a couple of feet in front but due to the front-on angle of the spotter, looks like it is sticking normally.

I think there used to be a minimum altitude that the bomb must be released from to detonate. Did the bombs you see hit the apc detonate, or just make contact with the vehicle?

I believe there still is a minimum arming altitude.

My experience, I was in a tank 200m away from an APC that got hid by a LGB - Me and my other crewmember started bleeding from it.

[usmcguy]

WHAT! I get owned by bombs when im a crewman..

Could be the rounds are landing between you and the target.

X = Bomb Landing

Plane's bomb can only guide so much, so could have looked like it engulfed it in smoke, however, it totally missed. :X

No i dont think isnt that, i know what you mean, like when the box if floating slightly of fthe target, that doesnt matter thats how the laze ends up most of the time, and with other jets and on other maps the bomb always would hit and kill, even if it hit a few meters aways from the target its still is usually good enough to kill a tank.

they exploded for sure, i saw the smoke and every thing, i really think its just the british bomb on that 2 seat bomber

It actually seems like bombs dropped from a low altitude (the non-exploding onces) are much more deadly vs armor (the same dmg it used to be back in .86) while properly dropped onces tend not to destroy anything more armored than a BRDM, that depends on luck though.

The Tornado's bombs cause VERY little damage. And we're talking about nearly direct hits that, if dropped by any other fighter or bomber, would destroy anything.

once, me and my squad in the map silent eagle, was lased by an enemy spotter, the f16 dropped a jdam on us, and we didnt died, we didnt received any damage... it was direct hit.. lol

Same, I've survived JDAMs by hiding behind crates.

[EnermaX]

Somehow i survived a JDAM which hit the floor 2m away.

Speaking of the Tornado, That jet is broke. Bombs don't work, weapon slots don't display the munitions. Gunner Camera Makes 0 Sense. And It drops like a rock when you try landing at a safe speed (750). And I doubt it was fixed for .95.

[Imchicken1]

Both Bombers have weapons displayed that they don't have.

Su-34 (?) shows that it has black hellfires, bombs, and white laser guided missles. If you look on the outside, it is lacking the black hellfires.

Yea. Tbh I'm curious as to why 2 Clearly unfinished planes (Model wise they're fine, Coding needs work tho) made it into the game..

[ralfidude]

Im on here as asked by a dev to report in that its the same problem confirmed.

Dead on hits on armor in the tornado cause little to no damage. I believe the same problem exists for Eurofighter, but i cannot be certain. I did hear a bunch of similar complaints.

These are dead on hits confirmed from different angles. Seems like there is something up.

Also, when inbound on a laze with a missile, the missiles sometimes do not go after the laze, and just go up sky high, and yes we are selecting LT's not LG's.

Stick with Brimstone. The bombs are horrible against armor.
