Baneman Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Why do I ask?Well, I would like to set a building on fire with the WP rounds. Is that possible?Thanks!Nope.You can't set anything on fire.Yet. ( As far as I know, this is an intended future feature, but how soon we are likely to see it is an unknown - and it is not imminent )WP fires as Smoke, btw.

MOS:96B2P Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 <Snip> I would like to set a building on fire with the WP rounds. Is that possible? <Snip>As @Baneman said no fire and WP fires as smoke. I will just add that for off map arty and mortars the WP is part of the HE total and will fire with the HE. So if your off map US 81mm medium mortar has 110 HE and 8 WP you have 110 rounds total. 110 HE or 102 HE and 8 WP depending on the mission you call for. On map mortars will not mix the WP in with the HE. After a PBEM with on map mortars I often have them empty of HE but with the smoke (WP) still left. Probably clear as mud right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Even though you can't set anything on fire with WP, I think it will still cause some damage to exposed infantry. But I read somewhere (in a patch note?) that this damage was turned down, so I'm not sure how effective it might be. Always wondered about it and never got around to actually test it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also noticed that smoke rounds did not leave craters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markshot Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Too bad. I miss fire. It was such a useful tool.Even more absolute in CMBB/CMAK than blasting a structure to rubble, since they often took up positions in the rubble. But a structure burned, no none stuck around. Oh, well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Even though you can't set anything on fire with WP, I think it will still cause some damage to exposed infantry.Oh yes, they don't like it at all. But I read somewhere (in a patch note?) that this damage was turned down, so I'm not sure how effective it might be.That would be a pity. I thought its effectiveness started out just about right, but maybe that was just me.Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user1000 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) WP can cause casualties too. Edited March 11, 2016 by user1000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
