C4 Can Not Kill Still

[BadGuy]

Well pretty funny is that there is a Russian T-90 tank already disabled because I killed the driver that was scouting out. I have an engineer kit and placed the C4 on the tank I stepped away to the preferable distance before I detonated. I get compromised because The tank gunner see me so I instantly detonate it while the blast kills me 60 meters away and The tank is almost not smoking at all. Now that is a problem.

From 8.5 to now C4 should have a little more reward for the great humiliation that you succeeded in doing to tanks and not have a very disappointing moment.

Please wait until you have sufficient post count to post in the suggestions forum.

IRL, C-4 is often used in demolition charges such as the M183 and M112. The Demolition charge M183 is used primarily in breaching obstacles or demolition of large structures where large charges are required.


Not to breach MBT Tank armor. There's a reason why it's issued to demo kits, not used for 1337 anti-tank ambush. Use the proper tool for the job. Use C4 for clearing obstructions like Walls, Doors, firebases, etc.

If I did not have enough posts for suggestions then the forum would have redirected me. That was not a suggestion but feedback on an existing weapon in PR or else it would be in suggestions.

But really people at a squad level were also not impressed for the C4. Some wall are destructible but usually the tank shoots through them first. The only reason a guy lays down C4 now is a triggered booby trap for light targets or toss them around corners and then detonate them for enemy infantry. Most people would disagree that C4 does not destroy MBT's when a TOW has less explosive ordnance.

Next time put a mine under the tank and then hit it with the C4. I've heard the C4/IED will make a vehicle move a bit and detonate the mine.

That seems very hilarious to do.

But That would take to long and the mine has a cool down to activate and using two hard hitting things for one thing is a waste.

Of course it's not ideal, but if you find yourself in the same situation, that's a possible way to dispose of the tank.

That tactic hasnt worked since v0.5 on Steal Thunder

It's not about how much explosives it has. TOWs and C4 both work on different principles. A TOW is meant to destroy armour; It uses a shaped charge. C4 does not, it relies on pure explosive power.

Exiled.

Still, it's quite a fair amount of C4. It should do more damage to things.

Exactly. A C4 charge on top of a T72's or T90's engine block (behind the turret) would screw it up pretty good. Not to mention C4 would break its tracks as well I'm sure.

Or they could just code in the ability to shoot the optics on armored vehicles, rendering them useless.
