des1206 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 This will make Tanya/Engin even more viable/fun in the field. With the change in the disarm system, we won't need to worry about throwing the C4 up too high so it can't be disarmed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushwall Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 It was possible to throw it too high for it to be disarmed before - now it's not (as far as I know). Let's not reintroduce that, shall we? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChopBam Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Can you describe this change in the disarm system? From what I think I saw, AoE now spreads out from your target rather than from yourself? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushwall Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Yeah - which effectively gives it a longer disarm range than it had before as long as you're not pressing right up against your target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The repair tool/golden wrench are now a hitscan ray with an explosion that has no damage dropoff. The hitscan does repairs/captures and the explosion does disarming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushwall Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 15 minutes ago, moonsense715 said: With no penalty for going through walls right? Nope, no penalty. But since the splash radius is a little smaller than the previous AOE, it's a little harder to disarm through walls than before. Plus hitscan being for repair and splash being for disarm completely solves the previous issue where you could repair MCTs through walls, most famously repairing the Soviet barracks MCT through the floor outside. The splash radius is just small enough that you can no longer disarm C4s on MCTs through that particular bit of terrain either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushwall Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Something I might do that would help C4 use in the field though, is to remove/shorten the charge time. That charge time was put into place as a safety measure to prevent C4 abuse with yaks (kamikaze into something with a C4 equipped and you get to throw your C4 before you die - the charge time prevents this) and also prevent C4 abuse with another feature that may make it in soon - but there are different safety measures I can employ for both of those that don't hurt C4 itself. For Yaks, the main concern with C4 "parabombing" is the Ore Silo where it can be undisarmable and still do a lot of damage, and I can just put a no-C4 zone on top of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJustin90 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Is it possible to simply have no C4 zones in all areas not reachable, IE; the top of refinery (the areas you can't actually walk)? Imagine a C4 on the Refinery smoke stacks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushwall Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Rather not spend aeons making such zones in the incredibly long list of such areas. A C4 on the refinery smoke stacks (or any exterior part of any building that has an MCT) does less damage than a single arty shell anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah that is true, so it won't be an issue for any buidling with an MCT then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
