Can We Talk About AA.20s?

Uh, so just for fun, I started using AS.20s… turns out they have trouble with their fuse too!

I had launched on him from 7 km, friendly got his wing before the AS20 reached him but I figured I’d still practice… woosh, right through him never detonated.

Thanks, I’m just bored. Nearly a year since the initial bug, pretty demoralizing when it comes to reasons to keep playing.

The same br as mig15s, and F sabers is just ridiculous, got the G91 nords being useless in both a2a and A2G.

Smart decision haha. I haven’t played in a few days, been seriously digging into Risk of Rain, but I was bored and booted WT up for a few matches.

Dude, so real. They made a news post about the R/4 going on sale last year, and used the artwork of the R/4 with AA.20s and I got so excited only to realize it was just about a premium sale…

MONTHS? Thats one year ago

maybe if you convince gaijin to turn the swift into a pack/premium they’d budge
the aim7p bug is hilarious tho

It’s not in the top tier bracket, 2 G.91R/4s exist, and they still haven’t shown any signs of fixing things. The most recent change to nords, after like 6 months, has been to add a new collision event for steppes.

Gaijin to previously top rank premiums:
640x358

Well, if the theorizing in this thread is accurate, the AA20 has company now. The new Rapier missile has a proxy fuse that’s about 4x as big as it should be looking at missiles with similar warheads, meaning it detonates way early and does no damage. It’s actually so bad that it’s a problem even in test drive. So maybe Gaijin finally has an incentive to look into this.

Although the issue with the AA20 is not its fuse radius, hopefully more bugged missiles will lead to some form of action being taken by gaijin.

Oooh, we got a banger hot off the press…

@Stona_WT @Smin1080p_WT Can you show this to the devs? I know I’ve reached out in the past, but like come on man… this is just silly. In this case, yes it did damage (I’d hope so for a direct hit) but take a second to look at the damage done. ~24kg warhead, 0 engine or internal damage. Something clearly is not right with the way they do damage.

I had shot him up with a handful of .50s, so this is his damage before:

And this is his damage after:

It just doesn’t make sense. A 9B detonating within ~5 meters will reliably destroy the control surfaces, engine, and usually set a fire. AA20s just don’t. They never set fires, and they never kill off engine damage. It’s always surface control damage, when they even decide to do damage in the first place.

Not to mention it barely hurt me also, I took some fuselage damage and that’s about it; also no internal damage.
self damage
