Ver. 1.2 RPG7 aiming distance bug

[Human_001]

RPG7 has no minimum aiming distance and triggers at minimum ditstance.
In another words it will blow up between your legs if you aim downward like back in 0.9 with full explosion.

Tested with RPG7 on Al Basrah INS main by the main fixing station Multiplayer Local Server.

Don't try to get RPG nerfed.

Currently it works great because it can blow up many BluFor even in close range.

Sorry. I was not talking about nerfing RPG so it will be bad in CQC.

Real RPG has safety mechanism. It do not allow RPG to blow up unless it is away from shooter (11m I believe? not sure).

Not only this is more realistic, it will protect shooter from blowing himself up when firing from hidden position. Like in real life.

Back in 0.9 it was annoying how people blew themself up because it always hit the balcony or fense or ground when firing from crouch or prone position.

Yes it does have a safety mechanism that detonates around 11m-25m, variation from super mass production, about the time the second booster rocket kicks in. With that said I wouldn't want to be around if a rocket was fired at such shot ranges odds of the operator injuring themselves is high at such short distances.

Do you mean that the explosion is actually doing damage to the player or that it's only playing the explosion effect? If the former, then of course it's a bug, but if the latter, there's nothing we can do there. Engine limitation.

I just did a quick test and it did no damage for me, but I'm not fully updated at the moment so I might be wrong.

IIRC it was either 5-10 meters or no arming distance.

Blame the shooter for shooting the ground. :/

Former. I just checked again at Fallujah West. It is detonating like back in 0.9.

Yes but, In real life you can make sure rocket is clear to launch. For example you can place the RPG tube on top of cover in front of you to make sure rocket won't touch the cover. You can't do that in game. In which case rocket will blow up in front of you. This is why the safety is necessary.

Yes, so this. If you can have reduced damage before actual detonating distance, it will be even more realistic.

In game shots fly from the camera. It's not difficult tno avoid shooting the ground/window/cover unless you fire at maximum deviation.

Aha, I was able to replicate it now. It only seems to happen when shooting certain types of surfaces. Thanks for the report, added to our internal bug tracker.
