Is it possible to implement backblast?

what sort of back blast do you mean??

jet blast??
leathal exhaust from M270 MLRS artillary??
shoulder launched AT and LAW munitions??
shoulder launched AA weapons??

please elaborate.

Why not all? Thermodynamics would be a nice addition, though if it is even possible, it might not be worth coding if it's extremely hard.

Bring'em all! ;]

Another way to get punished for tks!

Good point, though I think that if they made it work like a suicide, it would work better. Yes, we could have ******** run up to people and try to tk them with a backblast, but I'm sure these people would be easier to kick/ban then having to deal with tons of tk's. Most people don't try to tk so it would be better if you were punished for being the moron behind a rocket launcher as it was fired.

You should shout "BACK BLAST CLEAR" to give everyone a warning and then fire

We'd like to include backblast, yes. Not sure if we've experimented with it yet, or not, since I'm not a coder.

Howabout getting sucked into Jet engines

You want jet blast, i'll give you jet blast!

What I find nuts is that at full power the engines will tear up the runway after 20 seconds or so.

They said there's backblast but i've yet to see a TK from backblast.

Also, backblast should hurt the user when a Recoiless Weapon is pointed at high angles to the ground.

In other words, the backblast should be dangerous to Joe, Jamal or Jin if try to use their Anti Tank weapons as Anti Aircraft weapons.

Actually i thought it was "CLEAR BEHIND!"
And yes.. backblast is essential in game.
Even though there are backblast limiters that allow some ATs to be fired from indoors, regular AT's would mean that backblast would fry you in an enclosed space or against a wall.

Try eating loads of red beans then

I thout it was allready in the game cos I have 1 back blast TK on me.
I shot rpg at APC hit it and the guy behind me died. It said that i TK him.

I've no idea whether BB from tube launched weapons exists in-game but I've never chanced it and have always kept away from the BB zone just in case.
It makes sense & if anyone gets TK'd by this whether now or in future releases then too bad: they get the Darwin Medal for services to the gene pool.

Its easier to kill an enemy with backblast with an rpg to get splash damage or even hit him....

Just shoot infront of him and he'll make a backflip.

If you TK somebody with your back blast, the victim *should* have the option of punishing. You should have checked behind you. That said, don't dial it up too much. Maybe use the enclosed spaces variant to allow shots from windows and such.
