Just a question for any who had the misfortune of being out in the Airstrike/Artillery rain, since it became live: Do bridges and other terrain successfully block the damage from the points of impact? Not that it's a lot of damage, but I saw the smoke during one match (RUN!!!) and was near a bridge but didn't stop under it. Anyone able to answer my query?

Don't know, sorry. I simply walk a few steps away from it - the area of effect is pretty limited in size.

They can. The artillery has some decently far reach, but the airstrike is just pitiful. You can simply sidestep 2 or 3 steps away to be clear.

Honestly both the artillery and airstrike are...quite sad.

Once you buy them, you can test them out on the testing grounds without having to rebuy them. Keep in mind once you use them, you will have to reload into the testing grounds to use them again.

Misfortune? Unless you have totally red internals, there's really nothing to worry about the smoke, I've been into those mighty consumable's rain and barely even noticed it..

Yeah it's really good at scratching paint but not much else. The AOE on it is pathetically small and anything over head will block it as it just falls from the sky. The airstrike might hit you from the angle but again it not something to give a great deal of concern too.

A stalker alpha impact is deadlier than this mini-artillery, since more damage makes a Long Tom: 8 ... I have there more something like in Battlefield 2 expected
