HE shells are damaged again. Previous HE repairs had made them effective at killing aircraft; in the previous version, I hit an EA five times with an MG151, and it exploded. After the game update, the 20mm HE shells are no longer working. An MG151 hit an H87 twelve times and an A20 more than twenty times, and they were completely unharmed. Song said he only heard clanging sounds in the H87 but didn’t take any damage. I just hit Song’s hurricane seven times with a Flak38, and he said there was absolutely no reaction.
I’ve looked into this and cannot see any changes since 1.37.14.0 when we added the HE internal concussive modifier. There is one more thing that might be broke that its taking a bit to identify exactly what its doing (or not), but nothing clear on it at the moment. In any case, coding is most likely done for at least a week due to the Thanksgiving Holiday, so for now, ya got what ya got. Just be aware that if there is something going on and its happening to you, its happening to the otherside’s HE as well… When I know more, you’ll know more.
The problem disappeared after the 1.38.1.1 update. I tested it, and it’s completely different from yesterday. It’s possible that some HE-related data in 1.38.1 was rolled back to version 1.37.13.
Ok. Not going to “look a gift horse in the mouth”, and going to call this one fixed!
The difference is easy to see by the number of hits, going from being unable to destroy after 60 hits to now destroying with 8 hits.
In version 1.38.1, even if you hit song 60 times, he would only have engine damage due to coolant leakage, with no damage to the body. Hitting H87 36 times caused no damage at all. But now it only takes eight hits to make the Hurricane explode.
