Default Can someone explain Whale damage to me?

When I'm playing Biplane and a mine or missile from a Whale goes off, I get whacked across the screen like a ping pong ball hit with a metal softball bat.

When I'm playing Whale and detonate a remote mine right on someone's snout, nothing happens. I feel like Daffy Duck. What. The. Heck?

Why does the damage FROM Whales seem much greater than the damage I inflict playing AS a Whale?!?!?

Default Explodet

You are probably experiencing the 'spin effect' of the Thermo when you are being tossed across the screen...

Basic differences between Red Perks:

Director = Standard Damage w/ "Push" Effect
Thermobaric = Standard Damage w/ "Spin" Effect
Remote Mine = Standard Damage w/ Manual Trigger


I suggest a quick read here:

Long story short, the closer the detonation is to the plane, you'll do more damage but less twisting/propulsion. The further away the detonation is, you'll do less damage but much more twisting/propulsion, which is often better if your goal is to slam people into walls.

Bear in mind that some of that information is a little out of date, flexi wings is what you want for explo generally.

You beat me to the first response cause I spent 5 minutes looking in the general discussion forum for the explo guide before I realized there was a separate guides subforum TT
