Ammo cook offs are way too underwhelming in game

On this day 6 February 1991 there was an incident during Op GRANBY resulting in the loss of two Centurion 165 AVREs from 32 Engineer Regiment.

Wheel stations flew more than 1km, lengths of track were landing in Divisional HQ areas and an infantry Sergeant Major was hurt by a big metal lump landing on him 800m away.

Most explosions are really small versus reality in game its a shame. however if i died because little timmy in his premium with full ammo cooked off and killed me when i was a good spacing away i would be quite mad

Imagine losing your open top spaa to one of your teammates rushing towards half the enemy team with no plan or support

I dont know, this looks like quite a powerful explosion to me

As far as i know the in-game explosions from ammo cookoff depend on the amount of ammo the vehicle is carrying and some small random factor, i’m not entirely sure though.

But a full ammo cookoff with a tank carrying max ammo can be quite a big explosion that can destroy nearby vehicles.

have you seen what a T72 does when it meets any weapon from after 1960? The turret becomes sputnik 4

Haha, I did have one explode and the turret flew past me between a pair of buildings and it did make me jump :D
