Bug #1680

Incorrect Secondary Explosion Effect on Helicopter Hit

Status:	Open
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	cranefist on October 8, '26

Due date:
Reported for:	Forefront - v6.0.180

Steps to Reproduce

1. Shoot a heli with an RPG or a tank
2. A weird secondary explosion occurs at the impact but at a totally different location.

Explanation

Shooting down helicopters often creates a secondary explosion that is in no relation to the actual hit.

Because this does not happen always, it seems like its part of the explosion effect but just occurs in a totally random location. So I assume this is a bug. At least it looks totally weird and janky.

And if this is not a bug, i would love to hear the rationale for this.
