Tested on myself in an Ibis; The GL cannot damage the chopper via splash even when shooting at a wall the chopper is leaning against. This may explain why the GL feels so borderline ineffective versus even the UGVs; it needs a direct hit to do any damage at all.

#Ibis 40mm GL has no blast radius

this is because of a bullet limitation, they dont calculate splash damage unless colliding with a unit
i'd argue they are still effective against most ground units at shorter ranges
oh, that's interesting.
But IMO they are pretty weak versus the things that really should be vulnerable to shrapnel, like the hexhounds presumably.
id like a bit of an accuracy buff at speed and range for ground units, but yeah theyre not in a bad spot rn
They have a bullet resistant armor tho they die in like 2-3 shot from 12.7, with is quite funny
i imagine bullet resistant against small handguns, not .50 cal
judging by how they just shatter when killed, i like to think they're made of a hard plastic
fair
well in this case more like small arms such as infantry rifles and machine guns, while .50 would still punch through
but yeah idea stays the same
yeah bullet resistant reads like "7.62 NATO, Maybe"
