This is a random question but I followed another teammate to bomb a base. He dropped his, I pulled away, his bombs exploded in front of me, he bombed himself, and I’m fine. But I swear I remember bombs can damage friendly planes. Was this removed in some earlier patch?
I am not aware of any removal. You were probably just outside of the blast range and got lucky.
Sometimes i get damaged from a bomb a fair distance away and other times i can fly through the explosion with little to no damage.
