I could not find this reported anywhere else, so forgive me if it's been reported before.
A common tactic when using a Kamikaze is to fire it straight down to create a "sink-hole", but it doesn't work if you fire it at the correct height. See the replay to see what I mean. The worm drowns without exploding, and a small ledge of land remains at the very bottom of the level.

So what happens? When the worm reaches a required distance, does he stop cutting through the ground, move forward slightly, then explode? That's all I can think of that causes this, as the height you have to fire it at appears to be slightly less than the worm travels before exploding.

Credits should actually go to Dario, not me. He found it and showed it to me a while back. I was reminded of it when I went to write up a page for the Kamikaze in the Worms Knowledge Base. (http://wiki.thecybershadow.net/Kamikaze)

I'm pretty sure this is a known bug. The first time I experienced it, I couldn't believe my eyes, but everyone else in the host shrugged it off as something unspectacular.
