How High ??

[BoloMarkXXX]

How high have you been blow'n in the air by artillary? Yesterday on Karkand I was the reicipiant of a direct artillary strike that blew me about 1500 ft in the air, up into the fog took about 7 secounds to come down. I've been blow'n 1-2 hundred feet before but never that high !!

I've been hit so hard that my rag doll faded out before it hit the ground.
I've also been launched right out of the world space and into the void beyond.

What map was this? The fog settings are different on each so it would help in gauging, but for some reason I don't see the default artillary launching someone 1500ft in the air, as I've set the medic gun to fire artillary shells with 9999 ammo and have a firerate well in excess of 1000 rounds per minute, and I still hardly break the normal 100-200 feet. =/

Now THAT's my kind of gun!

Glitches/lag can be powerful things.
When I've been seriously tossed, it was usually while I was next to a vehicle that got hit dead by an artillery strike. The huge flight is usually right after a bit of a pause while my client tries to figure out what the hell it's supposed to do with my ragdoll.
It seems to think "when in doubt, just throw it really far!".

You'd like the .50cal that I made into a make-shift railgun too. :p Think of an oversized tracer on the bullet (as in a 300+ meter long tracer), an exploding shell with the arty effect on explosion, and the ability to destroy ANY vehicle in one shot.

As far as lag, that's true. The game has plenty of glitches, and I've never really had my little tweaks ran with anymore than 3 people, so it's possible the server saw something in the physics and said "WTF? Ah screw it *throws soldier*".
