Artillery strike - killing range

[Lion Rampant]

I have a couple of questions relating to artillery strikes. I have been killed by artillery strikes when I have been inside a building e.g the towers in Trenchtoast, the bunker in the Beach . Is this a bug ? It seems strange that you can be killed by an explosion outside the building when you are away from the windows/doors. Does anybody know what controls the efective killing range of an artillery strike ?

The explosions of the artillery go through the walls/ceiling. If you're by the outside walls, you can get hit.

So what constitues a safe distance or position in a room if there is an artrillery strike outside the building, presuming you can see the smoke marker and have time to move back ?

the artillery strikes hit the first floor inside if you launch it on a roof... aka if your in forward bunker and they call artillery strike on the bunker your dead.

actually the range does seem far because there was times where i ran away from it for a good 5seconds and it still got me

The worst, though is when you die for seemingly no reason

Has anyone ever seen this: someone throws an airstrike, and a bout 1 or 2 seconds before the explosion, a nearby player just gibs... they weren't actually in the path of the bombs but for some reason I see this every once in a while. When it happens to you, you dont see an explosion or anything just....gib.

i think the smoke gernade itself is capable of gibbing you

After a set time a smoke grenade will explode. I've been gibbed by kicking an allies smoke grenade for too long a time.

Little slow on the post there I just hope that they figured out what you said before now...
