Puma firing artillery shells after HEAT round duration ends

Looks like it's just a visual bug(tested, doesn't make a real difference ingame). But if you use HEAT rounds with the puma and wait until it ends, the shells that the puma fires after have different sounds and explosion craters. Compared to the normal puma, it looks likes it's firing a shell much bigger than before.

EDIT: Doesn't look like the new patch fixed the problem with the changes to HEAT shells. Tested it with ccm mod and these are the results:

Bugged HEAT shell puma is the right one; left one is normal.

so HEAT shells are still very ballistic AND now the visual can get permanently stuck?

I'll pass this to a designer. I don't think its a bug though. The shots look similar, but the Heat Tracer is thicker and has a slightly more Fire-y Explosion.

Shells used to get "Lobbed" out before, that was the only change.

Thanks

Well the sound is sure different when the two fire; and its consistent with the one that used HEAT shells and the one that didn't. I would upload a video to show the difference more clearly but I don't know how to use moviemaker or edit.

So clearly bugs remain.

How's the function of HEAT shells now? Do they connect as appropriate? What stats are we looking at?

if you activate shadowplay in the geforce experience panel you can record videos with it. you may end up with artifacting issues when uploading to youtube though.
