Author Topic: GV's shooting through Trees/Hills (Read 250 times)

I'm not one to gripe much but yesterday I spent most of the day on Furball island in a panzer and noticed one panzer who until I said I was going to film this bs remained indestructible.
(you know who you are)...This panzer could shoot through the hill and through the trees. Not only that it could take 4 direct turret hits from a Tiger and numerous hits from panzers only to shoot one shot and take out turrets or kill our tanks.
All others I encountered had legit kills, and there were a bunch of good tank drivers/shooters on yesterday, probably the most fun I'd had in a gv for awhile. I also heard the same rumblings coming from other friendlys so I know this was not an isolated incident. The issue I have is that I watched the rounds coming through the hills and trees and yet if I tried to return fire down the same path, I blew up dirt, or the shell exploded when it hit the tree's...remember tracers work both ways and we were facing each other. A squadie and I lost 9 or 10 tanks to this tank and funny, as soon as I lost my turret from a round right through the foliage, I said I was going to film this on open ch, and he replied (there was a small hole through the foliage) I used my pintle gun to ping him and poof he was dead. (guess he really didn't want me to film my squaddie hammering him with 5-6 rounds with no effect. I would estimate this panzer was hit 20-30 times with 4-6 tiger hits....(he 1 shot blew up the tiger).
Now I have M-16's blowing up my panzer with less than 200m rounds of BB's......BS I tell ya somethin is wrong.

I've had an instance where I was attacking an airfield in a panzer and could see the enemy tanks sitting on the runway to defend, but I changed views, went back to the shooting view and they were invisible.

I've also had instances where I could see a tank's shadow through a hill (even though I couldn't see the tank itself).

I've also had instances where my Osti has taken a number of rounds from a panzer before blowing up.

I chalked it up to graphics glitches.

I would agree it's a glitch, but if it lasts more than a day or 3-4 re-logs..I would call it a bug.

We had a Osti attacking our base and we hammered that vehicle with bombs,rockets,and 20mm to 37mm cannon rounds. It never died. To make it even worse the driver towered at our base and got credit for his kills even tho he towered at a enemy base. How messed up is that?
