Explosive Truck Too Powerful?

Was playing the Dragon Rookie Terrorist map.

At the end of the map there area 5 or 6 convoys, each with an explosive truck and 2 escort vehicle.

The first convoy hadn't triggered yet. I dropped a CBU-105 on the last convoy. The explosion was enormous and destroyed every convoy as well as vehicles in a very large area. I've attacked the same way many times and only the convoy attacked would be hit (They're far enough apart). I believe the explosive truck may be too powerful. I didn't see the CBU's hit anything out of the ordinary.

 

I then attacked a group of stationary vehicles with another CBU. The resulting damage appeared to be the same as in the past.

There is no explosive truck in the game. Its simply mission triggers that are setup to cause an explosion whenever the truck takes damage.

The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Depends how packed the truck was?? and what was in the truck??

 

The issue is that in 1.2.6 if you hit the truck, only the convoy and sometimes 2 escort vehicles are destroyed. In the beta the same strike is taking out 5 convoys. The only change from previous was to open and re-save in 1.2.7. Did the explosion mission trigger in game get changed?

Maybe something to do with this change in 1.2.7:

 

Increased explosive mass to all HE rounds. Explosive now mass equals the round mass. This was decided because HE rounds lack fragmentation and were very weak on regards to proximity damage.

 

Not saying this is definitely the case, but would depend on exactly what is being triggered. If the mission was designed with a very large HE effect because of the low fragmentation effect (in order to achieve the mission designer's desired outcome) then the change in 1.2.7 may mean that the mission needs to be tweaked down to compensate... or something.
