With this change all infantry missiles will incur crushed death on GLA Terrorists. This means they apply less damage.

This is a nerf for USA against Terrorist and Demo Bikes. But a buff against Demo Bikes after Demolitions Upgrade.

This is a buff for China against Terrorist and Demo Bikes. And a buff against Demo Bikes after Demolitions Upgrade.

TODO

  • Add EXTRA_8 death type to all other EXPLODED deaths to retain original death effects

Humvee, Outpost, Rocket Men health left after killing 1 Terrorist with Rocket Men

Rocket men outside of vehicles will now take critical damage when killing 1 nearby Terrorist.

Humvees and Outposts with Rocket Men will now take fair damage when killing 1 nearby Terrorist.

Original vs Terrorist

USA Missile Defender will NOT trigger lethal suicide weapon of Terrorist.
China Tank Hunter will trigger lethal suicide weapon of Terrorist.
GLA RPG Trooper will trigger lethal suicide weapon of Terrorist.

Patched vs Terrorist

USA Missile Defender will trigger weaker crushed weapon of Terrorist.
China Tank Hunter will trigger weaker crushed weapon of Terrorist.
GLA RPG Trooper will trigger weaker crushed weapon of Terrorist.

Original vs Terror Bike

USA Missile Defender will NOT trigger lethal suicide weapon of Demo Bike before Demo Upgrade.
USA Missile Defender will trigger lethal suicide weapon of Demo Bike after Demo Upgrade.
China Tank Hunter will trigger lethal suicide weapon of Demo Bike before Demo Upgrade.
China Tank Hunter will trigger lethal suicide weapon of Demo Bike after Demo Upgrade.
GLA RPG Trooper will trigger lethal suicide weapon of Demo Bike before Demo Upgrade.
GLA RPG Trooper will trigger lethal suicide weapon of Demo Bike after Demo Upgrade.

Patched vs Terrorist

USA Missile Defender will trigger weaker crushed weapon of Demo Bike before Demo Upgrade.
USA Missile Defender will trigger weaker crushed weapon of Demo Bike after Demo Upgrade.
China Tank Hunter will trigger weaker crushed weapon of Demo Bike before Demo Upgrade.
China Tank Hunter will trigger weaker crushed weapon of Demo Bike after Demo Upgrade.
GLA RPG Trooper will trigger weaker crushed weapon of Demo Bike before Demo Upgrade.
GLA RPG Trooper will trigger weaker crushed weapon of Demo Bike after Demo Upgrade.

Rationale

Terrorists and Demo Bikes respond differently to USA, China and GLA Rocket Men. USA can kill Terrorists and Demo Bikes without damaging itself. China and GLA cannot. With this change the behavior is consistent, also for after Demolitions Upgrade.

This is a pure buff for China, and a nerf + buff for USA. Terrorists and Bikes will now always apply damage when killed by Rocket Men, but the damage will be weaker than originally.

Demo Bikes will be weaker.

Stubbjax:

I'm not a fan of the complexity + counterintuitive nature of #2369 and would lean towards #2362

Closing. Too risky.
