      Remember when the 500kg had a short blast radius?

        It’s been changed? I guess it happened when I wasn’t playing and after returning I was always somewhat surprised people would pick 500kg because I remember it being kinda ass. The eagle was prone to missing and the short blast radius meant it barely did anything if it missed, so it was kind of a gamble where 9 times out of ten it would work and then that 1 time you really needed it to work it wouldn’t work.

        I guess I need to give it a new try.

          On 2024-09-17 (1.001.100), they increased the blast radius. Before, you could get fairly close to the bomb and survive. Now, it’s still a guessing game on where the blast radius is to me.

          Before the patch, 500kg was not big enough to close 3 nearby bug holes.
