[AAV] HAT has no effect while APC in water

So I was playing Jabal, having the AAVs pounding the beaches with their 40mm rounds. I fired two HAT's at the same APC and nothing happens. Obviously something must be very very wrong here or does the AAV have some massiv armor on the top?

It just feels wrong I guess, please fill me in on this..

Cheers,
Michael

You most likely just missed twice. Explosions dont do much in water.

very long shot? have heard that the carrier has an invisibe shield to protect the carrier from AA-rape. rumors says that the aav can be protected by this shield too if on the right spot. dunno about this.

If I remember correctly, there IS an invisible shield around carriers. I tested it some time ago while going to the Muttrah carrier with my BMP-3 in Co-op! :P

I guarantie you I didn't miss, my fellow soldiers confirme two hits on the top hull. I can't tell exact how far the shot was but both times it exploded on impact.

Thank you for your reply, and I appriciate the fix as it's quite annoying and unfair.

Best Regards,

Can the Essex now be raped by a BMP firing from the land then?

yes dtacs, I got drunk one night on jegerbombs and decided "well fuck it" and removed the shield completely. I mean seriously, I fucking love raping carriers with APCS.



wtf do you take me for? the shield has been moved so that it still encases the carrier but doesnt allow APCs to sit in the water and engage the land without fear of return fire.

If i had the original lightmap files I'd have moved the carrier itself and increased the Map's VD, but alas, I don't so you'll have to wait for 4k jabal by Joe.

and note, I don't drink jegerbombs, they are ****.

Mature response.

Can the MEC APC's drive along the coast from beach to beach or has it only been moved back slightly?

I was going to come up with some nationality based comment defending Rudd and fellow UK drinkers, but then I realised you were Irish.

Touche.

Hahahaha
I have had that problem a couple of times when I was running along the coast with a squad and suddenly we get hit by nothing and the AAV is indistructable.

Its nice that your fixing it though
Thank you!
