MasterBore1 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2023 Hello! In land-based arcade battles, when you're driving a tank, sometimes you hear bombs whistling as they fall, other times you don't, so you don't realize you have bombs nearby, if you're (for example) in scope mode. Why can't you hear it? Sometimes the bombs explode on contact with the ground, other times after 2 sec, 3sec or 4sec, or 5, or 6....how do you understand how long the bombs explode? Is there an adjustable quill? Thank you all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karatekakerlake 394 Report post Posted June 8, 2023 Not hearing them is basically the Game screwing you over with a bug. The bombs exploding at different times is basically the player timing them, bombs have a 10 seconds timer from the point of being dropped from the plane. If someones dives into you and drops them a second before he crashes you have about 10 seconds to get away, if he drops them already from 2km alt then the chance of you getting away is quite slim.

GhostSoph@psn 2,213 Report post Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) The time was explained in the post above...depending on the altitude the bomb was launched it can explode on contact, 10s later...or something in between. The bomb sound used to depend on if the bomb was landing close enough to matter...bombs stopped whistling sometime ago...now they sometimes whistle, others they do not...not sure what the factor that makes it happen. Whenever i hear it i assume it is coming my way and try to retreat out of danger...sometimes it even works (usually when bomb is small) Edited June 12, 2023 by GhostSoph@psn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
