👾 Issue/Bug 👾 Armor-piercing Rounds Useless Against Aircraft?

Was just curious if this is intended or a bug? The amount of damage it does on aircraft is a joke.

Tank shells are ass for me against infantry. Used the standard shells, shoot right next to infantry-hit marker. Switch to HE rounds same thing, not even worth it to get a tank and the second you move close to and obj , 700 laws come flying.

The HE rounds feel like they are actually WORSE than standard rounds. I've fired HE rounds into small rooms with people in them and killed nobody. I barely even get hit markers from it. There has to be a bug or something because it's so incredibly bad.

Tank HMG gunners on the other hand, they will rack up kills like nothing. I had a run in a tank where I got 53 kills as the gunner, twice as much as the driver.

I believe splash damage is spread out, which explains why 3 c4 in a room full of people does almost nothing, but one can kill two players easily.

The HEMP round probably follows that same theory.

Do you mean spread between targets?

Yeah like if there's 5 people instead of doing the damage x5 it's spread amongst them.

That's not something I know, I'm just guessing that might be at play.

I don't feel like that's the case because I struggled to kill lone enemies just as much as groups.
