#Vortex dies mysteriously when dropping bombs after rearming.

I've been able to reproduce this bug many times in singleplayer Escalation and Confrontation by the following steps:

  1. Buy a Vortex and load it with 2 PAB-250s and 2 GPO-500s, all in the internal bays.
  2. Take off and drop the bombs.
  3. Land and use the munitions truck to rearm without exiting the aircraft.
  4. Take off again.
  5. Drop the PAB-250s and GPO-500s (it works in either order).
  6. Observe as you die, the camera gets launched far away, and sometimes the game crashes. If you bring the camera back, you will usually find no trace of the aircraft.

Woow. I know what is it!!
They rearm already armed weapon and they are inside collide with each other and make booms

I think the bomb maybe hit the aircraft in the video.

The death camera is buggy and should be fixed. But even though you are climbing at a shallow angle, I think the bombs could have hit the rear of the weapons bay or tail at that angle. You also died right as you dropped the GPO bombs, so I think it has to be weapons separation issue.

Here's two videos of the bug seen from below (same setup as in the long video above) dropping the bombs in opposite orders. Clearly, there's no duplicate bombs and no collisions with any visible object.

I suspect the bomb is hitting a bugged collider that shouldn't be there. In the latter video, the bomb starts to fall, then emits a spark, then the weapons bay vanishes before the jet disintegrates. Perhaps the thing the bomb hits is a part of it?
