I'm not sure if it's meant to work like this, but during the public op last night I was being suppressed through building walls, like severely suppressed, by small arms. But when an RPG landed next to me I didn't suffer any suppression effects?
Without knowing which building, which small arms, your exact position and stance, its not possible to give a precise answer. However, I can give some pointers. Suppression will effect you in a building from small arms under two conditions. Firstly you are near an opening (window or door), the distance is a factor. Also some buildings are a little "odd" in A3, and do not give much if any cover from damage. This would also be true of suppression.
As for the RPG, again position, fliught path etc are all crucial in determining the suppression effect. If the RPG exploded near you, but you were within cover, especially if prone, then the effect would be far less.
Remember suppresion is not boolean. It builds with the weight of fire. The whole idea is to make you keep your head down when under a sustained attack. The best example so far is in Mag's video from last Sunday's Op. Even when under a sustained attack he managed his suppresison very well. By staying behind cover, and only exposing himself occassionally he only had light suppresion for the majority of the fight. You only notice it when you become moderately suppressed and your vision blurs etc. It's entirely possible to think you have not been suppressed, but actually have been, just lightly. We tested this extensively.
