I know it was just a fluke......but it made me laugh, cause it was really ridiculous looking, and one of those things that just solidifies in your mind how buggy this game can be sometimes.
I was playing on a Sharqi map the other night, and I was commander. I dropped arty on a flag that was being capped, and was watching as the arty was coming down. Well, you know how each shell kinda leaves a visible smoke trail of sorts as it comes down? One particular shell came down RIGHT on top of a Hummer....and the shell BOUNCED off the top of the hummer back into the sky.....leaving the same visible smoke trail as it bounced back up.
So if you've ever wonder, while being commander.....why sometimes you can get 12 kills while dropping arty blindly.........but kill no one when you strategically place an arty strike on top of 3 enemy squads sitting around giving each other the circle jerk..........apparently it's because some of the arty rounds are made of rubber.
