Bunker Buster Bomb clears garrisons even when the missile is Zapped (PDL) #632

I remember this from playing as Boss Gen. Having an Avenger near my Bunker, Bunker is cleared if the missile was zapped over the Bunker. You usually see the effect of the Bunker Buster Bombs in games even though the missile is zapped, so I presume it clears the ground beneath it. Maybe a Thyme fix?

Video of this? Perhaps a map to reproduce?

Could do, but it would be better to test with a real player

It should be very easy to reproduce. Fight as any USA (Laser would be best for cheaper Avengers) vs a Hard Air, make some Firebases and garrison with MDs. Place Avenger to the side of or behind the Firebase. If placed in front, they will zap too early, forcing the effect before the Firebase and won't do anything.

Note: Air takes over 5 mins to attack. You don't need much ground units other than Avengers for the first few waves. And the first Stealth Fighter prob won't have Bunker Buster Bombs.
