No splash damage from LAT's?

[Mouthpiece]

I was playing some offline coop Kashan. I got a bit pissed of at a Bradley in the last US flag for not being usable by one person, so I stood next to it's entrance (as close as you can get), picked up an AT4 and shot it aiming at the entrance. I took no damage from the blast. Than I tested it online - the same. Also shooting the floor next to you doesn't damage you.
I also tested RPG-26. The same - no splash damage whatsoever.

Is it intentional?

Did a search and found nothing. Or I'm just very bad at doing searches.

To replicate: get an AT4, find a Bradley, get as close as you can to it's entrance (the back door) and shoot the AT4 with or without being in "aim mode". You'll take no damage. Or just shoot the ground next to you.

Could be due to the arming delay? The missile needs X amount of seconds flight time before the explosives activate. Meaning this is not a bug.

No arming delay. It makes a big boom. APC's go down. So no delay.

I think devs made damage to infantry negligible for balance reasons when firing anti-armor weapons. I prefer it to have infantry damage.

I can remember myself killing nmy inf with RPG-26, but it was in 0.91

It works the exact same way as the 40mm grenade launcher, both on the grenadier and for the AAVP.


If you are in an AAVP and you fire the 40mm at something close, the rounds don't explode but you still do damage. Try shooting a 40mm grenade from your 203 at CQB ranges, it'll kill the person but won't explode.

There is an arming delay for the lat, as well. However, ingame it may not explode but will still hit the target. This could be due to engine limitations, or most likely a bug.

Or it could be, that the warhead AT4 uses ingame directs much of its force forward(HEAT). But if it explodes right next to you, it should cause some damage.

Indeed. RPG-7 splash hurts insurgents as it should. But RPG-26 does not. So it must be a bug.
