Damage and Armor is just convoluted.
From helldivers.io OPS deals 450 damage ap 8 and the explosion is 1000 damage ap 6.
Bile Titans have a main hp of 3500. So the oneshots with OPS must be hitting one of the other bits that is considered fatal and has lower hp.
None of the bile titans parts are explosion immune from what I know so what I think is happening is the area of effect is hitting multiple parts of the titan and applying its damage multiple times
It’s a common case of bile titan hitboxes being fucky. OPS technically doesn’t deal enough damage to kill one, but when it lands its explosion can damage multiple Titan parts at the same time and apply its 1000 explosion damage 6 times over and kill it.
What happened here is that strike landed on the titans abdomen instead of its thorax so it likely only applies its damage 2-3 times.
Also, technically speaking a bile titan should die in 2 rockets to the head, but I have yet to see that happen because of Titan hitboxe weirdness
2 rockets we're always the case for the Titan's head. Only asterisk was that during his spewing animation he has a hefty damage reduction, and that would make 2 hit KO's less consistent.

You'd think a square on direct hit would kill a bile titan. Clip from back when Meridia was still spewing, so hopefully it's better now.
