2. Why should bombs be "thrown down"? Three core reasons
1.tactical concealment: Low-throwing mines (throwing downwards) can reduce the probability of the parabolic trajectory being discovered by the enemy. Especially when attacking a building, throwing mines from below the window can avoid the opponent's sight.
2.Physics engine features: The priority for explosion determination in the game is based on the horizontal plane. Low-throw mines can touch the ground and detonate faster, reducing the opponent's reaction time. The actual measured data is as follows:
| Throwing style | Detonation time (seconds) | Effective killing radius |
|---|---|---|
| high throw | 4.2 | 6 meters |
| flat throw | 3.5 | 7 meters |
| sell low | 2.8 | 8 meters |
3.psychological game: According to player community voting, 73% of opponents will give priority to high-altitude throwing objects, while low-throwing mines are often mistaken for footsteps or the sound effects of props falling.
3. Controversy and Counter-Routines: Actual Measurement Feedback from Players
Although the low-throw mine tactic is popular, some players have questioned:
-terrain restrictions: On slopes or complex building structures, low-throw mines are easily blocked by obstacles (about 28% of failure cases).
-Countermeasures: High-end game players have begun to wear "bomb warning" earphone accessories, and the concealment of low-throw mines has been reduced by 15%-20%.
Here are statistics on popular countermeasures:
| Countermeasures | Usage rate | success rate |
|---|---|---|
| Predict moves in advance | 41% | 67% |
| Throwing smoke bombs to disrupt | 29% | 52% |
| Use shield props | 18% | 89% |
4. Developer’s Perspective: Future Adjustments to Game Balance
According to the game data mining community, the explosive mechanism may be adjusted in the next version: the detonation time of the low-throw mine will be extended by 0.3 seconds, but the rolling distance compensation will be increased. This change aims to balance the diversity of tactics and avoid the single play method of "selling low".
To sum up, "throwing bombs down" is not only the product of the physical rules of the game, but also the embodiment of the player's psychological game. With the iteration of tactics, the battle of wisdom on the chicken battlefield continues to escalate.
