Just finished a scout where an Overture shot a HR into the grill of my Buzzer and set it on fire on the first shot  (armor went down from 24 to 18.) And no, the engine (5L) wasn't exposed.

Unless the AI has suddenly aquired incendiary ammo, I thought this was impossible.

So know you know: You can catch fire at any time, in any vehicle, with just one shot to the front.

I knew this; I mean, if you take a tank gun to a Sonic, there's a pretty good chance you're going to turn it into a meteorite. I just figured the armor had something to do with it; seems like still having 18 up front after the hit was useless in this case.

Maybe just bad luck on that one?

probably just at the extreme end of the critical list... had heavy rockets break guns before through armour.. especialy the weak guns like HGGs

Nah, pretty sure heavy rockets have a chance to cause a fire, just like a fire weapon would.

Lasers can do this as well, but not to goat because you have to believe in them.

Can confirm that heavy rockets have a chance to cause fire, as well as tank guns, heavy lasers, and of course the fire based weapons.

ATGs, CCs, normal lasers I've never seen cause fires unless the vehicle has been taking internals.

I've seen lasers cause fires, but only rarely. I think i've seen a CC cause a fire once, but not sure

I had an NPC run head on into an ambulance with a 5lv12. The engine immediately caught fire.
