Hey guys,

Today I want to ask something of the developers. I want to ask them to create a safe space for us, or better said, a safety field around a Power Fist/Klaw user when they smack a tank!

Can we please change it so Powerfisters/klawers don't get killed when they smack a tank? We go out in harm's way to shove our fist right up the read of vehicles but we can never enjoy our handiwork (heh) because of the tank blowing up in our faces.


Unless it is intended to throw a Krak or meltabomb at the last part of it....then that would suck

Cheers!

Leave the last bit of HP and smack it with Fast Attack. So it starts to burn and explosion will have a delay, very long delay about 10 seconds, and you can move out of the way.

If you use charged attack on a low HP vehicle to kill it instantly, then it'll explode in your face.

The explosion should be left in, to prevent people instantly get out of the vehicle at the last moment. Or leaving vehicle should have a charge up time. But explosion is more fun. It also creates nice "damn" moments when you get a chain explosion going.

Please, explain further, because what i read would be hilariously broken. do you mean, you should be invunerable while hitting a tank? In that case, i want be invunerable on my traitor when i shoot my bolter

If you mean you shouldn't blow up with the tank, consider this: Every vehicle got a "Soon to explode" state. When the vehicle in front of you is almost out of health, don't Charge attack it, but smack it once or twice with a fast attack.
And yes, i know, Powerclaw is broken, you can't fast attack right now. Hopefully this weeks patch fixes this

Oh no I don't mean being invulnerable when hitting a tank xD Just no damage from an explosion or atleast reduced damage.

I did not know about the delay on vehicle explosion though, I suppose I can give that a try

I kind of agree that its rather counter intuitive having a weapon where you can only melee an object that blows you up :/. Some people manage fine though, so *shrug*.

As far as i have witnessed, you cannot explode a vehicle if it still has a health-bar and you fast attack it once with a powerfist. But the second one kills you As said, Powerclaw needs a fast attack in the first place, but then...?
