Aircraft always gets destroyed upon weapon's explosion.

Using Phobos patch as well.

I am really at lost on what to do as I believe I have tried everything, unless I am missing something or there is something that causes the aircraft gets destroyed every time its weapon successfully explodes upon impact on the ground. Note that its weapon has EMP warhead.

Aircraft code:

Code:

[ALLYPLANEEMP]
Image=ALLYPLANE
UIName=Name:PDPLANE
Name=Cargo Plane
Strength=850
Category=AirLift
Armor=aircraft_t2
TechLevel=-1
Primary=EMPBomb
Spawned=yes
LeadershipRating=10
Selectable=no
RadarInvisible=no
Sight=0
Landable=no
MoveToShroud=yes
PitchAngle=0
Speed=20
Owner=Americans
Points=300
ROT=10
Crewed=no
Ammo=1
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
MaxDebris=2
Locomotor={4A582746-9839-11d1-B709-00A024DDAFD1}
MovementZone=Fly
ThreatPosed=50
DamageParticleSystems=SparkSys,SmallGreySSys
ImmuneToPsionics=yes
CanPassiveAquire=no
CanRetaliate=no; Won't fire back when hit
MoveSound=IntruderMoveLoop
DieSound=
CrashingSound=PDPlaneDie
ImpactLandSound=GenAircraftCrash
DeathWeapon=ParaDropWeapon
Trainable=no
FlyBy=true
TypeImmune=yes
CrashSpin=no
EMP.Threshold=0

I've put EMP.Threshold=0 and TypeImmune=yes but the aircraft still gets destroyed.

Weapon, projectile, and warhead code:

Code:

[EMPBomb]
Damage=1
ROF=30
Range=6
Projectile=EMPBombProjectile
Speed=70
Warhead=EMPBombWH
Report=KirovAttack
Burst=1
;FireOnce=yes
Ammo=1

Code:

[EMPBombProjectile]
Arm=2
Shadow=no
AA=no
AG=yes
Image=AUBOMB
DetonationAltitude=30000

Code:

[EMPBombWH]
CellSpread=10
CellSpread.MaxAffect=1
PercentAtMax=.5
Wall=yes
Wood=yes
Verses=5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,5%,0%
InfDeath=5
AnimList=EMPEXP1
Ripple.Radius=28
Deform=10%
DeformThreshhold=300
Tiberium=yes
Sparky=no
EMEffect=yes
EMP.Duration=750
EMP.Sparkles=POWEROFF
CLDisableRed=true
CLDisableGreen=true
CombatLightSize=300%
DamageAirThreshold=9999

Even with DamageAirThreshold=9999 the aircraft still gets destroyed.

What if you lower the CellSpread to 3, does it still happen?

Maybe that armor not defined or set correct and the game defaults to instant death for any kind of received damage?

I would remove lines of code one by one and see if any of the special logics like EMEffect, Ripple.Radius, etc may cause the issue and thus narrow down the possible culprits.

That is an Ares feature so the game recognizes that custom armor.

So I tried reducing the CellSpread to 3 and it does not self-destruct anymore. However, then is there any way to prevent the aircraft from getting destroyed by its own weapon while maintaining the high CellSpread?

Higher FlightLevel to allow a higher CellSpread?

Or you can turn it into a dropped/floating bomb that lands after the aircraft has moved past the target?
