Says who? This is my unofficial rule, and in this regard it is functioning as intended.

What are you talking about? The damage threshold rule is meant to stop motive damage checks if the attack does insufficient damage. Inferno rounds and bombs do no damage, they roll for critical hits directly. Inferno rounds work correctly under the vehicle damage threshold rule (they cause critical hits) but inferno bombs do not.

Theres a reason why there is a seperate rule specifically for vehicles and inferno attacks.

And? This was the way I wrote the rule. Something is only a bug if it violates the rule. If you think the rule should be changed, then a feature request is the place for that. Don't make bug reports on assumptions that you know the rules.

Is there a publically available document that clearly lists what is and what is not a bug? I'm pretty sure most people would think that inferno bombs not working is a bug.

If there is no such document available you can't complain when people report something that they think is a bug.

Actually, I can. Unofficial rules do not qualify for bug reports unless they're not functioning as described in their in game documentation. Since this doesn't say one way or another...

And yes, you've been told before not to report things when you can't quote the rules to back them up.

  And where exactly in the game documentation does it clearly list out that the vehicle damage threshold rule was specifically designed to invalidate inferno bombs?

If you want to see if anyone else would like the unofficial (or house) rule changed, then make a forum post. It might help the person who added in the rule see what others think about it. After all, it is the person who added its choice what the rule does or doesn't do since there is no rulebook about it.

Luckily you can uncheck it if you don't agree with certain unofficial rules. (I'm looking at you, kinder MASC.... :D Your staying unchecked for me.)
