ok the new Howlitzer looks cool, but that roaming exploding head is just nonsense.. Since you only hit the head for damage when it comes off and flies at a player it should be damagable too - and destructable IMO..

I also think in response to many peoples woes to do with rocket puppies that the rockets they fire should be destructable - It would take a fearless knight to attempt this with a sword but still it should be possible with enough damage from sword or gun.

The rockets may be a problem as you would have to be so careful not to explode one near team mates. But please implement the howlitzers head being destructable when it becomes a homing missle. It just doesn't make sense otherwise.

you are aware that you can

you are aware that you can use the rockets to your advantage, right?

Howlitzers

Aren't Howlitzer's heads already destructable? I could be wrong on this of course but several times I've been in a party where these have been destroyed and the head had apparent been wiped out too. Either that or they blew themselves up on the spot.

It would be nice to have the rocket puppies projectiles shootable due to their highly spammable nature. I'm not that fussed about the Howlitzers since they only come at you when you destroy them.

Howlitzers; a confirmation

I have shot and destroyed a flying Howlitzer skull. They are already destructable.

As for missiles, not so sure. Reasons could be the following;

A) Nobody tried to shoot the missiles.
B) They tried, but apparently failed. (Small hitbox?)
C) It's simply not possible.

I'm leaning towards C, but I hear it was possible in the Preview? If it was, then my guess is that it was easy to shoot them down and it would render them near harmless if your team had a sure-fire gunslinger.

Not sure whether or not to support for missiles to be destructable.
