Death by Satchel

[[5.SS]Jaeger]

These are from after our RO practice last Sunday. Satchels are definitely the most fun explosive to play around with in RO...we even got one guy stuck on the coat rack! But he disappeared before I had a chance to save a screenie.

server admin should set the game to slomo .2 or something before the satchels explode, and you could watch the bodies slowly tumble about.

I saw a satcheled T34 jump about 10 or 15 feet into the air on konigsplatz a day or 2 ago.

hehe ragdolls tend to clip through stuff if they fall or get thrown against something hard its weird to see russians fall into the mountain on kaukasus and then watch them appear again down on the hill, when they slide out of the mountain again

Metallica wrote a song about him

Well maybe not the part about losing his head.

mmm messy! The hanging corpses kinda remind me of the bit in Predator (or at least I think it was predator...)

Now that would be cool. It would make the movies really cool too, although the slowmo should only be in a cut away shot so that you aren't shot from behind during play.

I saw what I think was the best death by satchel on Berezina last night. It happened too fast to get a screenshot of though.

Disembarking from a HT, another German and I noticed a satchel was dropped by a nearby Russian. Needless to say, I got the "Hell Outa Dodge" and ran like mad, then turned around. The other German stayed to shoot the Russian, then he too noticed the satchel, and he ran like crazy towards me. Then the satchel went off. Unlike the bodies flying in the air when hit with arty (which are incredible in itself), this guy's body flew horizontally towards me, arms and legs spread as his body stayed upright the whole time, never more than 2 feet off the ground. It flew about 15 meters, nearly hitting me and landed about 1 meter to my left. For that brief second, it looked so real and I just stood there stunned.

I really wish I had a screenshot as that happened....
