onthelam 10-01-2005, 09:20 AM Not exploits or glitches. Bugs.
Mashtuur City, grab the tank that spawns after you capture the flag at the southwest neutral point.
Drive it out, turn left and run into that stop sign at the end of the first fence. Instant death, happened twice in a row on Strike at Karkand 24/7 -=UCS=-
(its a karkand/mashtuur server)
Or the mysterious self repairing artillery on Dragon Valley. The USMC artillery will fix itself after a couple of minutes.
heh, i thought if you hit the fence/railing that causes it to explode? either way, i've been a victim of that....
F [a] C E 10-01-2005, 11:47 AM on sharqi, if you jump from any part of the middle'ish construction buildings and so much as touch the top of the (barbed wire?) fence on the way down, it's instant death. i think that's a bit much since standing on the flaming car by the southernmost MEC node of karkand only takes off 1 bar...
Osiris 10-01-2005, 01:40 PM I drove a tank from the TV station CP and drove on the left side of the construction site CP up the little hill to the left most CP.
There are sandbags around the flag there and i drove into it with a tiny bit of my tank and INSTANT DEATH!!
The tank was not damaged before it hit the sandbags.
Strangest thing about this is: I hit the bags, stopped, tried to go forward but it was just jerking there, then suddenly I explode. Ositis.tw is no more. :(
Dysc0rd 10-01-2005, 05:38 PM A heli can be destroyed with two grenade launcher shells, but a direct tank blast will only get it smoking.

onthelam 10-01-2005, 11:24 PM That's not a bug though Dysc0rd.
Another thing, don't know if you'd consider this a bug, but if another player lands on you it is another instant death.
I caught a paratroopers boots in the head one time. And another time I landed on a teammate (he died). Both times registered as suicide.
onthelam is no more.
I'm just looking for things to avoid in the future.
Dysc0rd 10-02-2005, 03:19 AM Not a bug? Somehow physics cease to exist when you are shooting a helicopter with a tank shell. I dont believe grenade launchers do to much damage to a heli, I think tanks do to little
Of course it's a fucking bug...a tank shot should be 1 hit ko
onthelam 10-02-2005, 03:33 AM I bitch about the tank shells myself. Especially after I nail an assault chopper head on, then get owned by half a dozen missiles. I lay there dead with a pile of tank, the chopper flies away.
I agree there are imbalances.
DwarfVader 10-02-2005, 03:43 AM You can take out a Helo with one shot from either if you use the wheel bug.
Chances are any time you've seen a helo brought down by a m203 grenade is because they hit wheel bug.
Dysc0rd 10-02-2005, 03:49 AM The wheel bug will be patched next week though. Test for yourself...two shots from a grenade launcher from the sides or bottom will make it catch on fire and explode after 5 seconds. I know because I do it all the time. It wont destroy it directly after the second shot, but they will be forced to bail or go down with the ship.
Santa 10-02-2005, 04:01 AM Dunno if its a bug or not, but if you fly with the ammo pack you will rearm your jet faster when going over a runway. I found this out by accident after I unlocked the PKM. I was going medic for those out of bounds flights.
onthelam 10-02-2005, 05:10 AM Thats interesting, I wonder if it repairs faster if you fly as engineer.
