M3 's killing Tigers
« on: December 13, 2007, 02:09:16 PM »
Apparently there is the situation where an m3 or jeep can drive inside a tiger, start shooting, and get a kill. I watched Fester do it. How can that be possible, and is it going to be fixed?

Here's a fix:

Shoot the jeep before it drives inside you.

It's due to a lack of collision modeling for ground vehicles and as you can see, there will always be someone that will take advantage and exploit this little loophole.

Now this is a true exploit. Doing something like this is completely uncalled for.

What good is armoured vehicles when you can do something like that.

Well Bobby,
If you turn your engine off while waiting, you can hear the jeep/m3/m8/m16/whatever before it gets to you. Turn your pintle gun and shoot it.

Same here.  I thought this was fixed a looooong time ago.

You have to think outside the box a little on this. If I'm able to drive my little un-armored jeep right up inside your Tiger and kill it with my machine gun, I like to think of it more along the lines of I jumped up on the tank and dropped a grenade through the hatch.

Besides if your in a tank and you let a jeep get that close to you without killing it first you deserve to die due to poor SA.

FEAR THE JEEP!!!!!!! and perk the damn thing:aok

I like that. Never gave it that angle before and it works for me. :)

You have to make sure you hit the driver its not easy, but its possible.
A drunk driver will run a stop sign. A stoned driver will stop until it turns green.
