Bomb damage bug?

[protest boy]

If a bomb hits a base with the tail end of the bomb it only does 25 damage to the base despite being a direct hit.

intentional? too minor to worry about?

im not to sure about it. actually damage usually varies. im guessing they have to fix it though

direct hit damage from the bomb is 1000
inner blast damage from the bomb is 250
outer blast damage from the bomb is 250

so the bomb can do a total of 1500 damage.

What's happening is you're getting direct hit and outer blast damage but the center point of the base isn't falling with in the inner blast radius of the bomb so you're losing out on 250 damage.

So to get the 1500, ideally the bomb would land flat on the base? Insuring the inner radius of damage would add the 250?

this has been requested before, but can we get the current base hp (in numbers, not just a graphic) shown on the top of the screen and also can we have base hits show on the bottom left with where the "player x killed player y" stuff is shown?

this is important for times like let's suppose our base has 1750 hp left and a bomb coming towards us, it would be helpful to know that we can't get killed in one hit so that if we're in a middle of a bomb run to them that's likely to succeed in a win, we can continue doing that rather than run back to defend.

Yeah, that way is a base has 1750 hp, then a max hit still wouldn't kill it. But I mean, that is aesthetic to the game that makes it hard..

Either:
You have a crippling problem with your perception of numbers.

or:
your bars multiply damage.

[mikesol]

Even with full gold bars and ace instincts you won't do 60 damage to the base.

[Silly]

I've also done 60 damage before, but only running tests in Map Editor, never in actual gameplay. It may only occur as a glitch in editor. 55 xp is the highest of which I have a screencap.

omnicron245,Silly,

You get additional XP for destroying the base - when added to the typical base hit XP, you would receive around 50 - 65 XP.

Ah...

I always wondered why I'd suddenly get 60-70 XP instead of 30.

yea we know. the bottom left kill log will be reworked someday to only track cool events like "maimer is on a killing spree x 13" or "Ferret blocked the bomb" etc...
I'm not sure if will ever show hard numbers for the base but I don't really see any reason not to.

no offense 2 u, but calling me 'Silly,' is kind of creepy. but 2 months ago, i would get 60 xp sometimes if i dropped the bomb from a REALLY high height.

The maximum you can get from a normal hit is 39xp I believe.
At least thats what I got once with Ace Instincts and 3 gold bars. Don't ask me why it wasn't 38 as usual, I dont know.
But it was a normal base hit - the base wasn't destroyed.

Please find there was also a user called 'Silly' who posted, I was addressing both of you.
