Incendiaries and vehicle damage

[Hunt3r]

Um, I find it just a teensy bit gameplay-destroying when incendiaries can destroy a full APC as if it were a HEAT mine.

Is this actually realistic, and is it actually worth being in game?

I'm not that pro on weapons but according to this source "It can damage, immobilize, or destroy vehicles, weapons systems, shelters, or munitions." However it doesn't state how heavy vehicle and so on.

Personally I feel damn superior when I sneak a grenade under the apc and then take cover with my rifle ready to take down the passenger fleeing from the heat.

Thermite can burn through pretty much anything.

This is a bug we have been unable to fix.

Pretty much tried everything but there's just something about the incendiaries that make it do damage to armoured vehicles now and then. Even though the damage multiplier for incendiary vs armoured vehicles is 0. Everything in the code dictates that it should do no damage at all to armoured vehicles....

It pisses me off to no extent as well but we just can't figure it out

Will ask some people who haven't looked at it yet why it does this to see if they might know but I'm not hopeful...

[Hunt3r]

I've found that simply dropping it onto a person will insta-gib them, even before it actually detonates. I suspect that this could be the causal mechanism behind why vehicles are damaged by incendiaries?

Is there a collision mesh on the grenade?

Thermate will burn through anything, even PR coding

maybe you should code new incendiary grenade, there may be some hidden bug in the code of this one.

yeah or come up with a new completely different concept. yesterday i was fighting in an apc and took a lat but survived. later we took a hat but dragged our *** back to a logi truck. then the ******** probably went down something like this: "oh well boys this is taking too much time to destroy, hey "jimmyboy", go put an incendiary on it and come back here when youre done so we can move on, we are waiting"

i could stomp their teeth out when they resort to these tactics. let them brush their teeth in a fucking plastic bag.

Ooooor, they rearm their LAT/HAT instead of wasting time.
