v1.1 M18A1 doesn't blow up cache

[R-DEV]Arab · 2014-07-20, 04:02

The M18A1 Claymore doesn't blow up weapon caches. I tried using 6 charges and it didn't blow it up.

Also, I tried blowing up the yellow one when running (not sprinting) and the charge didn't went off.

Is there a way to know if the cache is taking damage? I tested with the stinger, it made a cache impact noise, and I tested the MBT Law and I'm not sure.

I remember SwampFox saying you need about 21 PKM mags to put the cache down.

Also, I am sure you can damage it with IEDs.

Exactly.

The whole point is for gameplay, that only demolition experts can blow the cache, not some stupid grunt who's picked up an RPG off of the cache and about to fire it point-blank, in an enclosed room into a massive pile of explosives. Also, if only a few kits are capable, it reduces the probability of a lone wolf successfully sneaking onto caches and promotes the need for teamwork.

Previously you could blow up caches with claymores through thick walls. Now that is fixed, but as a downside you cant destroy them at all.

Do you mean thick walls or the cache

Main problem why it got changed was bluefor destroying caches at long range with hat kit/apc/tank. It's much better now.

You cant destroy caches with claymores. If you find a destroyable wall you can still destroy that
