Titan or APC or transport pods etc, can they be blown up? Ive tried a bit of clay pidgeon shooting using the Titan AA guns to test this, but to no avail. Anyone ever done it/had it done to them?

O yeah, i know that Pods can take out anything, depending on initial health and current health, but i personally have never been killed while in one

I doubt any of you have. The armor of a pod is 10,000

compared to a mech, which has about 1000

i wonder why they don't equip infantry with it, if they were campers for hours and never needed to move.

I've never been killed in a pod or killed someone in a pod, and believe that it's quite impossible. Although, I think you should be able to kill podded people with the titans AA guns. It would make the titan assault a lot more interesting and/or challenging.

I agree with you on that one, Beerz.

While on the topic of drop pods, I have to admit that I'm rather 50/50 on the whole "insta-kill most vehicles in a pod" thing. I really think it's quite cheap and seems rather... exploit-ish, while I frequently find it something I need to do, since the team would do that much better if I squashed the enemy gunship / transport flying around my titan. Maybe they should lower the amount of damage it did to aircraft? It makes landing one on an enemy titan a pretty short-lived asset. This is both good and bad.

Like I said, I'm totally 50/50. What about you folks?

Well meet me I have destroyed a pod successfully, also getting myself a nice easy kill. I'll post a screenshot up later of my BFHQ. I've killed and been killed tens of times, and have destroyed one.

how about it just kills the occupant of the pod and does minimal to no damage to the vehicle?

it would be good if you could at least blow them off course.

Say with the titan aa guns if you score enough hits on a pod you could prevent it from landing on the titan by pushing it far enough away.
