Regarding the old AT4 vs building discussion

It might be possible this is the HEDP 502 or AST(anti-structure Tandem warhead) AT4.
Quote
HEDP 502 (High Explosive Dual Purpose)[16]
For use against bunkers, buildings, enemy personnel in the open and light armor. The projectile can be set to detonate on impact or with a slight delayed detonation. The heavier nose cap allows the HEDP projectile to penetrate light walls or windows and then explode, or "skipped" off the ground for an air-burst. For use against light armor, there is a smaller cone HEAT warhead with 150 mm (5.9 inches) of penetration against RHA.

Or it might be DICE and there multi-killing warheads again like in the other battlefields  ;D

HEDP grenades penetrate the bunker/building wall with kinetic energy and then explode inside,thats all. AT4's HEDP warhead doesn't produce this kind of effect. So its the ladder.

At 2:14 you can see AT4 cs ast, a slightly more powerful than HEDP. Still nothing more than a round penetrating the wall and exploding inside.

Well that hotel ain't bunker but normal middle eastern building with lot's of windows. I you shoot a house like that with high explosive the windows will brake and it's highly possible that thin wall like they build over there blows up to pieces.

Also, just in case, you don't need to tell me how weapons work.

I cant comment on if the AT4 blast wave is powerful enough to destroy window glasses  away from the blast area, as with all the blasting I have done, it was made certain there was no glass nearby that could be breaking.

On the wall, it looks like a carcass building to me. If this is true, the hole is at least 3-4 times too big. And if it was the HEDP round or CS AST, the hole should be much smaller, with a small initial entry hole, after which the wall of the room the round explodes in might get pushed out, leaving still a rather small hole.

Referring back to my video, you can see the round penetrating the wall after the sandbag bunker clip, and if you go back to 2:00, you can see the same round (same amount of explosives) in a different mode. That can give you an idea on the amount of explosives used in the round and on its destructive capabilities. (I failed to find the amount of explosives in these rounds on google)

I'm not trying to explain to you how weapons work, I just like to back up my claims, hence the video.

A bomb exploded nearby the Athens courts.



And all these windows were destroyed by an explosion ON THE GROUND...Imagine one near them were the power goes through them.So just the sound blast is enough for windows. I do not know for anything else though.

AT4 round is not a bomb. Your average bomb has much more explosives, hence why its common for windows to get destroyed. Also, there was probably clear "line of sight" between the bomb and the windows.

Well that only partly proves my point to be fair. Thats only one type of round, it can be argued that other rounds would do some more serious damage.

Guys, scripted event that looks awesome for ignorent players. What's not to get?
Like you would be able to see the fallout/blast radios of a nuclear bomb... But it looked cool in MW1.

In BC2 the LATs could only destroy one wall or window section (and without doing too much damage to a person behind it). I doubt the devs have suddenly made LATs shoot nuclear rockets (in MP).

Speaking of unrealistic damage...

At about 4:30 in the full 'Faultline' vid, the player shoots at a hostile on a balcony, he shoots him through the balcony wall and leaves a hole around a meter in diameter... ???

Either that wall is made out of fibro, or that rifle packs one helluva punch.
