I just tested this and it worked. Can you reproduce it and post a replay?

there is no effective way to use it as the range is too low. no matter if its inbetween game or a factory fight. as the exploder uses explo just in combination with teleporter (or dual teleporter) for 99% of the time.
the most efficient way to stop exploder is using breakers or skills/items to leave the explosive area or make yourself invul (right in time). the new defuser is just helping the exploder becouse now he can destroy breakers.
right now theres no risk for the exploder as he dont feed the enemy team by not killing an enemy. its a bit offtopic and maybe i point in a new thread to this post.
the exploder/defuser/... situation is getting more boringSad sry for telling you that devs.

RE: Battle Tanks 8.78b - Exodus - 2013-05-05

Hey guys, a small update to fix the transmitted league data.

@gozo:
The change to the Remote Fuse was more or less a way to do something in early game against Exploders, when the TP range is still low. After that, also when the Exploder itself has the Defuse Pack to destroy Breakers, you might as well could have a Burst Armor, which completely negates the Explosives damage.
