C4 nerf?

[Ghoest9]

Twice this monring as light assault i tried to take a turret using 2 C4 - neither popped. The secong time I made sure both C4 actually landed on the turret - even though beside it always worked before.

Did they stealth nerf C4?

Did they stealth nerf C4?

Did they do damage?
I had a problem defending the Crown the other day, TR had a Sunderer on the bridge to TI Alloys and I attempted to kill it. First time I dropped three Tank Mines as an Engineer, and I got 6 Infantry but as far as I could tell no damage to the Sunderer. Assuming it had Mine Guard, and it was repaired real fast, I decided to try C4. Twice I dropped two C4 on it and both times I killed Infantry but did 0 damage to the Sunderer. I said something in /yell chat, got a bunch of lovely tells, and about 3 minutes later the Sunderer was de-spawned right in front of me as I was being douchemode on top of the bridge. I don't know if it was bugged, or what the issue was, but I'm 100% sure I somehow did 0 damage to it with tank mines AND c4, and then it got de-spawned after I said something. Could of been someone knowingly using bullshit or maybe a GM was there or it was bugged somehow, I've no idea.

There are some invulnerability bugs with Sunderers but I have no idea for the life of me how it happens. I have come across several Sunderers that did not take damage at all no matter what we hit them with.

The despawning of vehicles on the other hand is a pet hate of mine, I have noticed a lot of people just jump out and despawn their Sunderer / Prowler / Vanguard / Lightning as soon as they know they're dead, solely to deny me the destruction XP......

That to me is just low, unsportsmanship and cowardly.

Been coming across more issues with repairs, damage and people moving around this week than before. We think lag is to blame for most of it, or at least something being wrong with the server's data transfer.

We're also having a lot of issues logging in (according to some, NC is hardest to get onto on Miller).

C4 has been acting wonky for me as well. Sometimes they appear to fire off as duds. Not only with vehicles but with infantry as well. Might be lag on my end messing with the timing of the detonation trigger, but never had an issue before with it. *shrug*

0/4 now - Ive tried it with both TR and NC.

EDIT: 0/6 but I blew up both and ESF and a lightning on the first try.
It seems that they are doing no damage at all to the turrets.

I noticed it too, one of my suicide flashes didn't even kill itself and I didn't do any damage to enemy turrets (essentially making my long journey to the top of a tech plant pointless).

I'm betting on server issues due to the transfer for now... but if they nerfed it I won't be happy.

This has been happening to me a lot lately, too. I C4ed a damaged lightning today and nothing seemed to happen. But then another Light Assault was able to C4 it and destroy it (I didn't get any assist XP, though) a minute later.

I've had the issue with turrets for a while, too. It comes and goes.

Yea, C4 has some issues right now, take for example yesterday, I dropped C4 on a Sundy, pressed the button, but no damage at all. And then, an hour or two after that, I put only one C4 on a Vanguard with full health, kill. Like what?! One C4 was enough to kill a Vanguard on full health! But two C4's didn't even scratch the Sundy...

It's actually a great class with a well defined role. A highly mobile flanking shock trooper. Can run faster with adrenaline armor. Flank, and Flashbang the enemy troops. And destroy priority targets with C4. Assuming the C4 blast registers.

It's the Infiltrator that has a serious case of identity crisis. Doesn't know whether it wants to be a Sniper, or a cheap ass invisible but still just as powerful in gunfights assault class ever since the SMG was added.
