Make the suicidal semi bomb more powerful

lonelyjew · Post by **lonelyjew** » 2007-02-16 05:30

Title basically says it all. I got so excited earlier today because I finally got the thing without an a-10 taking me out a few seconds afterwards. I drove to where I knew there were two tanks and thanks to some good spotting from teammates I ended up driving behind one. I was ecstatic because the thing already had white smoke coming out of it and I thought there was no chance in hell this thing is going to survive. So I caught up to it and blew up after ramming the thing in the rear. To my shock the 2000lb bomb strapped to the back of the semi did not blow it up, in fact it didn't even disable the damn thing. It only caused black smoke to poor out of the thing instead of white. I at least had the consolation of blowing it up with an rpg(it was barely above critical health) a minute later when it drove by where I spawned.

Point I'm trying to make is that a 2000lb bomb should take out an abrams that has full health let alone a wounded one. It's hard as hell to get up to things in the first place, make it worth the effort.

It should blow a tank up. Something tells me you got taken out before you blew it.

I've blown tanks with just the car bomb. Something went wrong.

Maybe, but like it would have had to have been some great timing by lag and me getting shot. Like I said, I went boom when I hit the right mouse button and I did see damage done to the tank.

Right button? Dude. In the jihad car left button is the bomb and right is the music. You must have driven the spawncar... And rammed it.. You blew up in the impact.

which car is the jihad car? I know what the spawn cars look like, but I guess I don't know what the jihad cars are.... call me slow...

I don't know about you, but left click (primary fire) is the music (the horn), and right click is the bomb (alternate fire).

Non_Compliance, the jihad cars have a piece of C4 in the back seat, passenger's side. You can see it when you're driving if you look back.

I don't know, it still sounds like something went wrong. If the tank was already damaged, then it definitely should have blown up. I get the feeling that you either took heavy fire, or an AT rocket, and when your car blew up from that, it did damage to the tank. Your bomb never went off.

At least, that's what I think probably happened.

Well, if you all say it works properly already I'll believe it. I'm guessing(hoping) my experience is an exception.

How big is the blast Radius of that semi? I don't see the use of having a giant AT magnet to try and blow up a tank. Though i'm sure it can work as a good road block in the cities

. I think jihad cars work far better on tanks. When i am the Marines, i see the semi and blow it with my AT-4

could the blast radius be made much bigger and more powerful? same for the basic jihad cars. Once I blew up a jihad car while i was touching an amrican apc and it didnt even kill it.

often the car blows up right before you click or bomb goes off and dose like 10 dmg, IMO the bomb should explode when the car explodes from ramming the tank.
