Has anyone here survived the new bailout explosions? By that I mean the vehicle exploding when you jump out as the pilot. It seems to instantly blow with the normal explosion force and radius of a destroyed vehicle, in other words, instant and unavoidable death. Is it an altitude thing? I am rarely more than a 20 or 30 meters (or whatever measure is used) off the ground when I have to bail out.
Granted I have only done this 3 or 4 times since they changed it, but I have not survived once. Maybe I misread it, but I thought they said they were giving you less of a chance to survive last minute bailouts. Well, zero percent would be less I guess. At any rate, as a side effect it has made the air vehicles into manned high-yield missiles, which is not what they intended I am sure.
