Is this bad lag, or new armor model?

[mauser]

After augering trying to strafe an M3 that was on the edge of our field, I jumped into one of the 37mm guns on the field and began shooting at the M3.  I was surprised that the M3 made it that far in the first place, since almost all the acks were up.  I was also surprised how many 37mm I had shot at it without much effect.  I haven't had any experience with straffing M3s since 1.07 came out, so I'm wondering if this was bad lag causing dropped (rubber) bullets, or the new armor model (and AAA only has HE rounds)?  Here is the film clip: http://www.pixi.com/~brlau/film1.ahf

Some guys have reported that bombs don't work against armor, others say you can pop Panzers with the MG151/20. All in all, this new armor model resembles a huge bug more than anything else. I'm going to do some testing later and see what's happening on my end.

I killed panzer with my panzers 30 cal. AA gun. The bullets richochet everywhere else, but the tracks of the panzer. And thats where it seems to hurt bad, cuz a few second burst blows the tank up...=(

I dropped on an m-16 tonght turned around and saw the m-16 in the bomb crater still firing , bet that guy had a headack

All these things sound like connection issues to me, rather than bugs. Damage packet loss and all that crap.

Give it a while to settle down - I'm sure HTC will sort it out.

Ive been having a hard time actually enjoying myself lately.  Connection issues?  Probably.

One very important quality is honesty in results.  If I get killed by the pintle gun on a PNZR then I want to be able to kill with  the same gun under similar circumstances, I havent had so much disparity under similar conditions since the game went live.

Remember, with mass downloads going on after each version, about 2 weeks after it historically seems like we have things happen like this.

Same thing for me. I dropped a 500 on a FLAK. The bomb crater was all around him, he was just off dead  center.

I dropped a second 500 on the same FLAK. Same result. FLAK appeared undamaged.

Came back on him and fired 6 rockets. He finally died.

Three very strange things.

a) Any plane, even with .50 kills tracks on my panzers on first pass in 75% cases. Makes it really hard to drive panzers to enemy fields -- if it is desabled while long from base you just go away and captured = any plane can kill panzer now. Make tracks harder pls.

b) M3 is damn hard. After 1.07 I could not kill a SINGLE with first shot, spend 25 ap on one of them!, and due to this lost 2 fields, when I fired at m3 from close range while it moved to map room, scored numeral hits and no result.

In real world 1st or in the worst case 2nd direct hit shall make it a burning wrekage.

c) Panzers tend to "dance" while they stand on same place. I mean they start turning to you from one side then from another then (sic!) stands vertical and so on. Considering that they keep firering at you it is not much fun, because it makes hitting them much harder.
