Rockets and the Apache

Black Mesa Archive In-game Issues
#1

This thread reminded me to mention this.

Is it just me, or do the rockets fired from the RPG Launcher randomly bounce off the Apache? At first, I thought maybe it was the Apache shooting them down, like the Combine Gunships do. But on closer inspection, I’m convinced this is a bug. In both the Surface Tension battle and the one in my level, about 20% of the time, fired rockets bounce off the Apache, whether they are homing or not. And it’s not a subtle bounce - it’s literally an abrupt 90º turn in the opposite direction.

It’s not just you, I experience the same thing, and I believe it was pointed out by someone on an earlier thread shortly after the early access version was released. I’m pretty sure the devs are already aware of the issue.

edit: Upon another search I found this thread. Definitely looks like the devs are already aware.

Hahah, I like the guy who said he got hit by his own rocket when it ricocheted off the Apache and came back at him. :smiley:
