insurgent ied

minor issue, but i'd like to point it out-

you know how in vbf2 v.1.3 or something, they made changes to the c4 including slower throwing speed?

kinda seems that in pr the ied is back before that.

you can throw em down really fast and blow them up on accident killing your teammates and getting "team vehicle damage"

and please if possible, can you take out team vehicle damage or something, and make the ied throw a little slower and more manageable?

thx

I thought that was only the case with the dead husks after they'd been killed?

Vehicle alive = TV Damage, - points
Vehicle already dead = message but no - points

Correct.

Its an IED. Ie, a bomb assembled in someones shed. You want to be damn careful when setting one, so I would suggest that the *clickspam* *BOOM* that causes the premature detonation of the IED is an attempt to introduce this need for care rather than tossing them around willy-nilly.

yeah.

i guess, i think the thing is with regular c4, when you set the second one down, you can click and hold it, and it just throws the 2nd c4

but with ieds, when you hold the mouse on the 2nd one, he throws it AND detonates it...or something along those lines

You do have a good point, but how often do you hear that an insurgent has accidentally blown themselves up assembling an IED in real life, on the news?

Once again, the perfect feature for not blowing one's self and one's teammates to smitherines is to generously apply the brain when using explosives. You can't expect to have the DEVS make everything idiot proof....(though that is an arguable point due to the generous number of said idiots that do play the game). However I think when dealing with explosives, one needs to take care and always yell, "fire in the hole" on VOIP before detonating. Setting an ambush with an IED is not something you want to do in a hurry.

Assembling an IED, no. But I have pictures somewhere of a pair of insurgents that blew themselves up trying to plant one. Although it probably didn't make it on the news.
