Planting a grenade inside a vehicle by boarding is no longer an instant kill?

I played a round of fiesta where I boarded a wraith, and after boarding and planting a grenade in it then running off the wraith took no damage.

Is this a bug, or is this how Infinite is now “balanced”?

No it doesn’t at least not with a full health wraith, had a similar situation today where the pilot exited while I was planting a grenade. The grenade explosion killed him but the wraith didn’t blow up.

Side bar on that note, when you go to board an enemy wraith the game should really know better than to put you in the gunner seat

Nope. Kinda lame. Can’t counter vehicles with the plasma pistol either. But I suppose you can with the disruptor.

I would be upset by this, but the vehicles are already made out of paper and need all the help they can get.

In H5, any of the non-default tank variants could take a nade plant and just be really low on health afterwords.

It does seem like they’re trying to make the tanks really powerful, but not appear very often, so I’m not surprised that a made plant isn’t an insta-kill anymore. I think that’s somewhat understandable with the lack of open space in BTB.

No, 343 has a huge habit of “fixing” things that are not broken and brake it. It’s gotten really freaking stupid how much they brake things in a game.

I had a similar thing happen as well with a scorpion tank. The fact the that not does planting the grenade inside not kill it, but also the driver can exit at any time even while boarded is pretty lame.

It’s pretty rough that we’re now dependent on where the game randomly spawns things to counter vehicles.

Given how warzone allowed you to pick what you spawned with it’s not so bad in there; however, when spawns are randomized on pick ups it’s another story.

If had a few games in just two days where the match was decided, because the game spawned all the vehicles on the enemy teams side, while also not giving our side anything to counter it with.

Worst part? Focus fire on enemy’s in vehicles like the Warthog or ghost is so inconsistent. You can have your reticle on the player in the vehicle, but chances are, they won’t get hit. The vehicle will take the damage.
