M5 issues

Is it me or did the M5 get a nerf? I swear I've shot 3 or 4 vehicles in the last 20 minutes of gameplay with extremally low health and they don't go down. I haven't been on in a couple months but I remembered before that when a vehicle had low health, like 20% or less one M5 rocket would destroy it. What happened? Or am I tripping?

  • @koolhandluke44 I don't remember a nerf, but they may have changed some of the vehicle's repair systems to increase the instant repair functionality.

    I found that I can't kill a tank alone with M5s because their repair system cooldown is quicker than my M5 rotation.
  • Yea that might be it, but even when I can see the health of the tank below 15% and get a direct hit they dont go down.. I'm so confused. 

  • @koolhandluke44 For attack vehicles, you've always needed more M5's than you actually have which...given the risk and low chance of landing every one of your M5's on a vehicle is pretty dumb as heck.

    Transport vehicles die in 2 hits and boltes in 3 I believe, but otherwise every armored vehicle takes more rockets than you have, even if they don't repair.

    It's annoying, but honestly is one of the less pressing issues when you look at how hilariously busted aircraft continue to be and how infantry forces still have zero effective counters.

    Could be a hitbox damage bug. They fixed one in 1.2 with Lis missle only doing 1% dmg if you hit the back of a T90MBT. Its certainly possible there are more like this lurking.

    It could also be the tank driver repaired before you fired off the last rocket and your client hasn't received the updated health of the enemy vehicle.

    @DigitalHype What is most annoying, that we don't have a clue if it is a bug or just a stupid design.
  • could also be related to the fact that tanks do not get DMG reduction from the front and take more DMG if shot from the sides or behind....
    its extremely dumbed down in 2042, i even stopped trying getting behind tanks and vehicles alltogether because why move and risk exposure if you get nothing out of it
