RelicNews Forums - The Magic Chimney of Lorraine

mwaf Guest	The Magic Chimney of Lorraine Apparently there is a magic chimney on Lorraine which acts like a back hole for calliope barrages. Yesterday I intended to fire a barrage on a stug from the middle. However, none of the missiels actually made it past one of the buildings. While I knew that there is a chance I might hit the building, I had expected it to collapse and not eat the barrage for breakfast. http://personal.inet.fi/koti/lochne...gic_chimney.avi (XviD @ 640x512, 1 222k) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMT8quImY28 For my previous documentation of wierd things in the game, see my CoH wtf page.

XxDrAg0nxX Guest	Duh chimneys are magic! How do u think santa goes down them? Theres a magical portal that connects the top to the bottom. which means those rockets probably ended up below in the house.

Mutters Guest	Maybe a graphical glitch, the building is already ruined. Bad idea firing calliope barrage over buildings

I had a rifleman squad go to toss a grenade from behind a building and instead of tossing it into the other building as ordered it went up and STUCK to the walls of the building used for cover, Its air burst killed 1 squad and hurt another. __________________ (Previously, and still occasionally zbobet2012)

In that case, it does look like they all hit the chimney. I'm surprised they didn't explode, but not particularly surprised it didint cause a collapse... Chimenys seem pretty tough in this game __________________ Remember: you're a blogger. Pretense is your co-pilot.

Crushyerbones Guest	Don't those chimneys show up in cinematic on that port city attack on the campaign? When I watched that cinematic a chimney just like that got hit by arti but instead of falling down the chunk were all just floating there in the exact same place... Kinda reminded me of a Necron structure xD

Yeah, hadn't expected the worst case scenario to be that bad, though.

I wonder why chimneys obey different coh-laws-of-nature. Perhaps I should test to howitz and bombard that building and see if it is destoryable at all.

Don't you think Jimmy's day has been bad enough already?
