Strange new bug?!

(-=eVilBoB=-[SCO]) #1

OK I’m not sure if this is a new bug or what - suffering from airstrikes while indoors and away from open windows and doorways!
Its happened to me a few times now and its one I’ve never seen before.
As an example last night I was playing axis on goldrush our defence had crumbled incredibly fast so we’d set up the final defence in the bank and surrounds, i.e., mg gunners, medics and field ops all in the bank covering each others a** and not too many to be crowded! I was busy dropping some ammo packs behind the desk with the gold (out of the line of fire) next thing I know airstrike!?! I escaped instagib and the medic (who’d been down near the door) quickly revived me so there was still some defence, but still it shouldn’t have happened! The same thing happened the night before taking out all the final line of defence…
The only other place I’ve suffered from this was on battery in the forward bunker and again a good safe distance from any openings and at full health and still suffered an instagib, this was near the back/side entrance/exit.
Any ideas?

there’s splash damange coming from the airstrikes

just because your under something doesn’t mean you wont get hit by the area around the hit

I understand that and thats why I mentioned the distance from the openings, but we’re talking a whole line of defenders around the bank desk - in the vault - being instagibbed, and similarly in a bunker - designed to withstand aerial bomardment - well away from any openings.
I just can’t imagine this as being meant in the physics engine of the game, but if it is I’ll accept it…well it is a great game :wink:

I’ve read somewhere, back in RTCW, that arty shells can go threw some cielings. I remember being killed by arty inside the bunker on the mp_beach map.

Yes same bug in RTCW. Wasn’t there in the first release if I remember correct, but after a few patches…

I haven’t experienced it in ET yet, but if it is here as well both games could use having that patched.
