I just got off a server running Daqing Oilfields. I was playing as USMC, crawled into the bomber parked on the airstrip and did a few bombing runs. On the last run I return to the airstrip to reload and was approaching opposite the hangars. Lining up so I won't hit the trees (avoiding them is a piece of cake) but suddenly, just when I'm about to fly over the airstrip the jet just EXPLODES.

BOOM

Rosse_modest is no more.

I KNOW I didn't hit ANYTHING and there weren't any missiles on my tail and there wasn't any lag either. So my question to you is: WHY did my plane just explode for no reason? Did I hit a tree equipped with a cloaking device? Was I caught in a micrometeorite storm? WHYYYYYYY?

This isn't the first time it happened either. About two weeks ago I was flying a J-10 on the 64 player Dragon map and when I flew over the first USMC landfall (the harbor) at low altitude (but still a ways off the ground) heading for open sea the J-10 just exploded for no reason as well. As soon as I respawned I jumped in a new J-10 to try and do that again because I thought I couldn't have hit anything. So I flew in generally the same way and as soon as I flew over the water it exploded again?

Is there some sort of chameleon oiltanker anchored there?

This has happened to me.. but a bit different.
I was in Operation Clean Sweep. US. I'm in the bomber. I was doing really good.. 20 - 0 (around there) so I make a bomb run... go to reload. Completely clear of anything around me.. and nothing was shooting me. all of a sudden.. my health for the plane just went from full to nothing.. it looked kinda like when you're in a helo and you have an FAV firing at you.. you know how those things just shred the helos. anyways.. yeah I blew up and it just said I was no more. I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOO WTF"
Sucks.

The only thing happened to me like it was, if I go out of the map totally ( not only the red lines but after them ), I twiced just killed, not time but like there was a wall or something the plane just crashed into the air.

Once the patch was released, EA Put up walls on the darker red out of bounds area, i've tested this out, if you fly into the light red out of bounds area you get the message that you'll be shot etc... but when you get to a darker red area (100-200m) the jet will explode. I only have seen this firsthand on cleen sweep, oman, and dalian.

This isn't true, there are times when a C4 kill isn't directly the result of the c4 explosion. The C4 can be the catalyst to a number of things. I've died plenty of times to C4 but it's given me alternate messages. Given so many variables around the field, it'll always depend on the scenario.

I was flying last night on clean sweep with a passenger. Making great passes with the f-15. Went to rearm so we were heading away for the battlefield as most do. I even go so far as recieve the leaving combat area before banking. Well, after about 6 successful passes we were just over the mountian and...

BOOM !

Version13 is no more
Passenger is no more.

WTF? We both laughed about it. Invisible wall ? Weird glich ? The planes carcass just shot straight up like it rammed into a mountian side, yet we had gained 300 worth of altitude.

it happens to me a lot too. u pass a object (tree or building) and when you passed it you suddenly explode. the only thing i can imagine is that you hit the object with the most outer point of of your jets wing

Ive had that happen to me before. The system screws up with bounding boxes and suddenly you're inside the sign's box, or somesuch, and you explode... because the system doesn't know what to do with you hah

actually I ran into this one tree once, and I was thinking crap, I was a little to close to that tree, next thing I know my plane doesn't explode but it starts this turn, I some how recover taking 50% damage, and probably 120 degrees from where I was facing.

lol I 2 have had the no reason explosion.... just BOOM u die now! lol
Also had the swing around the tree and recover happen. now that has to be the most fun glitcih I've ever encountered......lol
Happened many times but the best one was a clan mate and I flying wingmen in the J-10's and we both hooked 2 different trees same time on a bombing run. We both swung around the tops of em like a tether ball and were flung up into the air amazing close to each other..... We both recovered... Wish that server would have had battle recorder running . was some funny funny sh*t....lol

on Dragon Valley, if you fly around the CP by the carrier, you will hit an invisible wall out at sea. i found this out the hard way awhile back and avoid that area like the plague.

Also on Dragon Valley. I flew a fully loaded BH over the western highlands. Our squad had a cunning plan to conquer their airfield. We had some good ol' rock'n'roll songs playing through the radio (voip) and moods were high.

Suddenly the chopper exploded and our squad just seized to exist ("n is no more" for everyone, no TK's or kill credit for anyone)

Absolutely nothing in sight. No igla, chopper, airplane, war mammoth, nothing. Verified from the escorting Cobra pilot... hmm... (that mother*uc*ing piece of s**t

YOu may have hit your own bomb. It happens, even when flying level.
