Honestly guys,
[link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_3338378/tm.htm]there are rules to the game read up on it from some of the club sites posted in the pinned thread[/link] at the top of the combat forum.
There is up to $1200 US dollars in some of the more complex ships out there battling. No one wants their investment destroyed. The idea is to be competitive.
There are times for theater and special effects such as a explosive depth charge, but for the game, literally blowing up someones model doesn't work.
