I tried para dropping some ammo cannisters with my para force and they all exploded on impact. Germans vs. Czechs May 1997, All were loaded on transalls, all landed in clear terrain. Is this a glich that can be fixed?

Confirmed. We'll look into it. The workaround for now is bring in the ammo by helo only

Do exploding ammo stores still cause massive collateral damage? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

Hey, at least there aren't any exploding paratroops (airborne suicide bombers) like in one of the earlier versions. THAT got expensive.

Who was it who managed a crazy exploit by using this to create cruise missiles that effectively exploded on atarget?

The thing was to make the missile a paratroop carrier, pre-load it with one ammo truck, and drop onto the target hex (bunker or so). Ammo truck is bound to get damaged, explode big time and apparently the missile (paratroop plane) got a hit and crashed...

That might be worth a look, since otherwise cruise missiles tend to behave like bombers and simply fly away...

now if you were an AAG or SAM gunner, how would you tell your commander that you shot a cruise missile AFTER it hit? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
"well, it hit, but it kinda flew on..." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
