I'm pretty certain this is unintentional, although probably well known. If a terrorist on a bike gets off the bike, the bike will destroy itself, dealing damage, then the terrorist suicide himself. Effectively dealing double damage.
I have no idea if this is fixable, probably with some janky workarounds.

This makes Demo strong, but it is not a problem per se. Apart from Demo Bikes being banned in "Pro Rules", pro players do not take issue with this mechanic as far as i am aware.

With this mechanic, a single biker can deal at least around 1400 explosive damage (depending on upgrades, positioning etc.), which is enough to bring a Supply Center to 6% HP. If pros actually abused this mechanic, it would be beyond broken 🤷

Pros use it. With this mechanic one bike is enough to kill USA Supply Drop Zone.

This bug requires the Demolitions upgrade to be used.

Yes, this is always used, it's not really seen as a problem.

I will close this for the time being. Demo General is very strong with Demo Upgrade and this trick certainly helps a lot, however it is generally not seen as a problem in the overall balance, so it is not strictly requires to touch this for the sake of our main re-balancing goals.
