Warning to SADAR Users

Post by Karmac » 09 Mar 2017, 10:28

Recently there's been quite a few bugs popping up in regards to rockets not passing over objects, and this wouldn't be much of a problem, if some of those ojects weren't Racks, Tables and Plasteel Barricades, I've gotten reports from engineers that rockets are bugging out and hitting FOB defenses from the inside out seemingly at random, until devs get this patched you might want to keep an eye out for what you're shooting at.
Garth Pawolski, or is it Powalski?

I'll double-check, but I don't think it's a bug or even new behavior.
If you are ON THE TILE of the flipped table or barricade, it should go over. But if you aren't, it's got the same chance as other projectiles (like sniper rounds and regular weapon rounds).

Remember that the entire point of a barricade/flipped table is to stop bullets/attacks. That works both ways. If you want us to let rockets fly over them unopposed, then we'd have to let boiler acid fly over as well.

Currently only flipped tables stop boiler globs, no other buildable defense that marines can shoot over does this, I'm not sure how marines would feel about that so I'll stick to having shitty rockets.

uhh...

Boiler globs seem to not be stopped by anything currently.

Ive been hit point blank by boiler globs over flipped tables so many times now that I just suicide rush xenos now due to how garbage barricades act now.
