Prove that it is from a small IED explosion. The current IEDs were changed according to MA suggestions, not on a whim.

With the planning of blowing up an armored vehicle, why would an insurgent bother with a pipebomb that small?

Probably because the pipebomb IEDs are not an anti-vehicle weapon. IED does not make AT weapon. I see why the devs changed them, I mean, a fully armoured HMMWV isn't going to be blown to shreds from an explosive charge that probably packs a little bit more punch than a hand grenade.

I've played round with the pipebombs and found that, since they stick to statics, you can put them in some inventive places, such as a tire well on a car thats sitting in a chokepoint.

Though I do agree that artillery IEDs need to be more common. Possibly with the Taliban and Hamas, give the AP kit the pipebombs as well as the claymore and give the Combat Engi kit an artillery IED instead of the pipebombs.

So the pipebomb was made into a remote grenade?

[Celestial1]

If it was, would you be upset?

[boilerrat]

yes I would be... I love using IEDs.

[Celestial1]

So use more or use bigger ones.

You can still damage and kill vehicles it just takes more than just what you carry on you.

And I would have to agree with Celestial1 and ZephyrDark.


You should think Gameplay wise as well as realism, not just "I want". Gameplay wise it was too powerful, so they toned it down. Similar like how they added deviation to weapons so firefights would be, realisticly, longer.

Realism wise, 1 IED won't blow up the humvee into tiny pieces and kill everyone inside. However it does damage it a lot, It's not like it's brushed off. Get more then 1 from a cache or use supply technicals for mobile ammo. Blaming it on other players isn't the best way to make your post gameplay feasable. If your having problems with players, you should find a seperate server.

Also, Basically your suggestion is "I like using IED's but they aren't powerful enough." It basically is a remote grenade. Mines are used for AT.

Which is why im suggesting that we get more as insurgents

and taliban / hamas can request engi kit with artyIED

They most likely survived, its always a possibility that it had enough energy to kill them.
