I’m noticing the M8 rockets and HVARS getting some absolutely absurd hits as of late. Ignoring cover, having insane blast radius, and even killing tanks while still hitting about 20-30m away.
I used to use the Allies a lot but have been trying to get into Axis more. The rockets of the Normandy Axis have decent blast radius but definitely don’t have anything near that of the Normandy Allies. In addition, I’m constantly getting hit through cover by them too. Several walls separate me from the point of impact, but it doesn’t seem to matter. Even being underground in Gar-De-Saint-Lo map my squads are still getting wiped out.
Anyone else noticing it? Idk if there was a silent buff, but it seems really out of control right now.
Nope they were always op compared to german rockets and yet people cry about op german tanks all the time and conveniently ignore single rocket 10 kills bs

I watched an M8 rocket just earlier tonight land about 25m in front of a tiger tank and still kill it. I really don’t remember them being THAT strong.
well bombs also act kinda weird (killing you from huge distances also through the walls, sometimes they may be close to you and your vehicle won’t die or sometimes really far and you are going to die) so maybe it’s plane armament bug
It is more likely bug than silent buff lol.

I get instant killed by rockets all the time whenever I bring out my Tiger in Normandy.
And I am always left wondering if the pilots scored a direct hit, or if the rockets have a massive blast radius that can simply knock out anything from infantry to heavy tanks…
Meanwhile, the rockets on the BF-110 and FW-190 have a very difficult time taking out stuarts and jumbo’s alike.

Idk, same issue has been present in moscow for I dont know years ?
Rockets capable to OHK tanks which I guess is fine, but as well taking out rather massive groups of infantry regardless the rockets arent supposed to have barely any HE if any at all.
Moscow tanks are shtt compared to tigers/panthers
It kind of always have been the same, tho people have been spaming them more often since they realized that they where super strong against german heavys, they may be bugged or they may not, doesnt matter, if you dare to complain about it people will start to say that it is fair because of german tanks and allies need to be op or else its just a skill issue and you just gotta do your mental gymnastics to understand why they get to have the most broken planes in the game that are just so good at CAS and also the best at Air sup but they will say that german planes are op because they can do a single thing and not even as good as their multi rol planes, if its found to be a bug I will be so happy ngl, devs wont be able to just look away from the issue, it just so happends that I always get killed inside the main normandy bunker by any allied rocket

No doubt, but the rockets there had roughly 0,7% accuracy irl. Ofc due to quality of life it cant be that bad. Why they have dual purpose as anti infantry weapon is quite unknown.

Yeah, everything explosive is currently in really weird state. It’s really shame ngl.
I remember few weeks ago how I destroyed jumbo with tiger’s HE. But I think they fixed it after few day.
well, it is kinda shitty that the rockets that where mean to be used on air to air combat is the main CAS of the game, tho there is not much to do there
