It also looked like the liberator was completely unaffected by some flak going off near it.
At another point a magrider opened fire on a TR MAX and must have landed about 8-9 shells around it. Maybe with one direct hit, the MAX seemed totally fine and just buggered off, It was completely inside the explosion effect so I was just thinking maybe the AoE is borked because for a trooper to take 8 tank shells landing within a metre radius of him is a bit...strange.

I feel like Virulence is on the right track here explaining that. In the liberator clips, the explosion and smoke covered practically a whole corner of the base. I can't imagine one shell from a lib doing aoe damage that wide suggested by the graphics. Perhaps the shaking camera limit is much wider than the actual explosion radius, making it seem like a player was right next to an explosion when really it was a bit farther away.
