@PsubondThat's very strange, because you can't see the occupants who operate the miniguns in either the Hind or Condor...
And obviously it does not matter because I've just said, I've experienced a missile kill from impacting on the Tail.

if it didn't destroy the aircraft i would need to see that to believe it

i agree, it is odd, but the 30mm cannon as well as M5 rocket launchers have gotten me. i'll record it next time and post the vid

@Psubond Is it so hard to believe that the explosive splash damage on aircraft and some land vehicles is bugged? lmao. That's a lot of mental gymnastics tbh. I'd would've uploaded that video as well but it got corrupted by Nvidia's recording thing.

I was able to recover the video that was corrupted. As you will see from it, the missile explodes to the back left of the Nightbird. The Nightbird is at full HP and so is the Pilot. There's no reason I, the Pilot, should've taken any damage from that explosion. You will also notice from the video, the serious inconsistency with flares not deploying even though I used it and was shown as having been deployed, yet had no effect on diverting the missile. I'm certain this video contains two bugs, the flare bug and the missiles being able to damage pilots bug.
@S3SSioN_SoL i slowed it down and watched it at .25 speed. from the position of the guy who shot the stinger and the way you kicked the helo around to the left when you came in behind the hill it hit somewhere on the front left quadrant of the helo which would be where you are sitting. really looked to me like it hit right on the side of the cockpit where you are sitting

I thought you would say that 😉, so I took the liberty of screenshoting the missile's trajectory before impact.
Here you can see where the missile approaches the Nightbird from the Back Left. The Nightbird Remains facing this angle for the entirety of the missile strike.
The impact is behind the Nightbird to its left, as you can see from the Nightbird's silhouette in the explosion.
Another screenshot of the explosion being behind the Nightbird to the left.
I hope I've shown you enough and EA/DICE for that matter, to prove that something is bugged out with the "Buzzard" and that regardless of where missiles explode, they should never directly kill the Pilot out of the aircraft. Imagine this happens to a Jet pilot lmao.
i stick with my original assesment on the angle that you were hit due to location of the shooter and the way you were moving. a higher frame rate vid would help if you have it. i shot a few nightbirds with stingers last night (was kinda surprised, usually people take the easy mode stealth helos now) and didn't get any pilot kills on full health helos.
there is not currently a bug that causes the pilot to be instakilled consistently, and from looking at the vid and the screenshots together it looks like the missile hit on the front left side of the cockpit
