handihoc Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Just discovered (in Perdition campaign) that Syrian engineers blow themselves to smithereens when Blasting a wall. Anyone else aware of this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dima Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Sounds like a bug... Can you send me a savegame where I can reproduce the problem? If I can reproduce it I will bring it to attention of developers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slug88 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I've used Syrian engineers many times and have never encountered this. Either it's a rare bug, or really good timing on the part of an enemy RPG or tank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either it's a rare bug, or really good timing on the part of an enemy RPG or tank Yep, that could be actually. Sometimes it is really hard to know what killed you. In game blasts are not supposed to hurt the "blaster". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Just discovered (in Perdition campaign) that Syrian engineers blow themselves to smithereens when Blasting a wall. Anyone else aware of this? They could just have been really useless engineers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handihoc Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'll re-run it a couple of times tomorrow, see if there's something I've missed. If not, I'll send it to you, Dima, for bug-testing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handihoc Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hmm. Strange. I've been unable to replicate it. Yesterday I had four Engineer squads on two walls of the same compound, quite close together. Two of them blasted holes and virtually all four squads were wiped out, bar a few men. Tonight it doesn't happen that way. They blast the wall and survive unscathed. So something else must've killed them, and it happened at virtually the same moment as the wall blasts. Trouble is, it hasn't happened again, so I can't determine the cause. Bizarre, but we can stand down on the bug alert, I think. At ease, soldiers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dima Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Is it possible that, while they didn't die from their own blasts the blasts from each other killed each other? Cad you try to test this possibility? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handihoc Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Solved it. The culprit was a hidden Kornet missile team, firing from the other side of the map, which I hadn't spotted before. The missile was aimed (I believe) at a BMP-1 about 50 metres away from my engineers. It missed the BMP by a whisker, skimmed on past it and slammed into my guys who were, quite inadvertently, directly in the lof beyond the BMP. The missile blast happened at virtually the same moment as my two engineer blasts, which made it look like the damage was caused by the engineers themselves. Interesting situation. Of course, the Kornet may have actually been aimed at the engineers, but as far as I'm aware it's far more likely to have been aimed at the vehicle. Devastating effect on infantry, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
