I have been trying to see how much use I can get out of placing 1-2 APS gadgets in front of my tank to protect it from rockets and shells from that direction.
But the results are really inconsistent.
Sometimes the projectiles get intercepted in time.
at other times the projectiles get both intercepted and yet still damage the tank
At other times the projectiles pass unmolested and damage the tank.
Did anyone else noticed these inconsistencies?
Yes, I've noticed similar behavior against regular grenades. But, I always attributed it to the very limited APS range and I guess at least in their case they just flown/dropped slightly outside the APS range. May it be also the case in your situation? (For example, the projectile trajectory was too high, above the APS)
I did some more testing and these things really need their detection radius buffed so that they do not shoot down a rocket after it already hit the tank it is meant to protect.
The only time I use is defending inside objectives on breakthrough, watched a vid where the person was getting loads but mine only seem to get a few, also if I am playing as him in HZ I'll drop one outside extract sometimes it stops nades/rockets getting in back sometimes it doesn't.
