Author Topic: One Ping deaths - Tiger Tank (Read 1093 times)

capera · « **on:** December 28, 2005, 03:55:39 PM »

Is there any chance that someone can take a closer look at the damage model on Tiger tanks?

The last several Tiger tanks that I took out for a drive, I was killed with ONE PING....either a 1000lb bomb or one shell from a NME panzer.

Now....when I am up against a enemy Tiger, it seems I have to empty enough ORD to knock over a city in order to even damage it.

If there is something I do not know about making my Tiger tank tougher in the hanger menu that I do not see, can someone please help me as I want to drive these perked vehicles but not if I will lose them just as fast as a regular panzer.

suggestions?

Killing a Tiger with a Panzer is no real problem close in and anywhere but the front. If you get a decent angle down the side. it'll pop fast.

a 1000 pound egg dropped right on you will kill you no doubt... as for getting hit by a panzer.. if he is on the high ground and shooting down on you, he is hitting you in the thin armor... a shot in the side where the turrett meets the hull is another weak spot... keep the enemy in front of you.. where your armor is the thickest.. the model seems to work fine.. ive been killed by the magic shot too, and then sometimes ill take several hits before i go down...

I've noticed that landing the bomb right on top the tank doesn't do much. I haven't tested it, but it looks to me like the bombs have no downward blast radius. Don't quote that though. Still, I've found it more effective to land the bomb just barely next to the tank's side.

I have noticed some inconsitancy with the tiger's "toughness". I have recently been killed twice by two differant panzers at a distance of 2k with one shot. Then on the other hand I've been carpet bombed by lanc's and A20's and took several hits from other tigers at close range. I cant explain it at all I've looked at alot of differant stuff. The only thing we can control is skins. I have found that the toughest tiger's I've rolled are usually carring the green skin. I know this sounds off but I've looked at everything. My chances of surviving are when Iam in a green skinned tiger

Ok

I cornered one of the "GV Gods" in the MA today (name not important) and asked him straight out why it seemed that players like himself could be so successfull in a GV and other (like myself) could suck so bad. I knew it had nothing to do with ability and strongly suspected that there were settings I was missing.

Seems that there are a set of settings you need to adjust in order to become more "non-distructable". Of course, the player would not divuldge this information but told me it could be found on the website.

I have searched high and low for ANYTHING to assist in helping me get on the same playing field as the others. As you can well imagine, it is no fun going up against other GV that have a advantage over you.

Can someone point me in the right direction in regards to these settings? If you do not want to post these tips in public, a PM would be GREATLY appreaciated.

I am not looking for a hack but looking to bring my vehicle up to battle standards.

honestly? I think he was yanking your chain, capera!

and if he was offering you help, that isn't anything near it, ask Whels, Horn, Moil, or any of them other GV experten and I am sure they tell you the same, and prob give you a good bit of tips to boot!

if I had someone tell me something in the settings but wouldn't cough it up, say I had to search the net, I would either send his gameid to HTC or display it here in these forums in FULL view of everyone! but hey that is just me!:D

you been in game long enough, according to your date you signed up for the BBS, to know that he wasn't being straight up with you, who ever he might be?

That was my gut feeling.

I have been in the game since 2001 and have been successfull with GV ops. It is just lately that it seems my opponents have been on "another level" when it comes to accuracy and damage from their ord.

There are tricks to certian aspects of the game (another example - CV gunners that take you out at 20k). Would not classify them as hacks but I am sure there are un-published settings/tricks that aid in game play. This Tiger thing has been pissin me off for quite a few weeks now and I am not the only one in the arena experiencing it.

Don't mind dying......look at my stats. I earn my score based on honest gameplay. When I witness a one sided situation, I tend to investigate to try and even up the playing field. That is what I am trying to do here.

Don't get me started on the ords in this game

It is all jacked up, trust me I know.... but I just deal with it. No matter where you put an egg next to a Tiger with in a matter of feet, even 10 feet away, would do some damage with frag, etc. BUT, it all depends on what side your hitting it from. Track sides or the rear would be best with the hope of hitting the tracks or the engine with some frag. If you dropped an 100lb or 50kg egg right on a Tiger, and I mean right on the turrent.... it would cripple the turrent. The crew...yeah, they won't be very usefull. Heck, I can take out a Panzer or T34 with 2 rockets! I have lost Tigers to 1 ping from a Ostwind! 1 Ping!

But have turned around and dropped 4k of eggs on a Tiger all right on top of it and nothing. It has everything to do with the game... if it is connection stuff or whatever. I just live with it and bring more eggs!

Besides, taking someones 60+ perkies is fun!

I much prefer to be in my own tank, be it a Panzer or Tiger, just for that reason. And no, I'm not going to cry about GV modeling, because it works for me. I never take a hit that I couldn't do and vice versa.

I think you have "crying" and "a discussion" mixed up. If you have nothing to add to the "discussion", then why post.

Must have been somebodys lucky day. I've killed Tigers with an Osti but it took alot of hits to do it.

But, then again, I get kill messages without firing a shot. What is more messed up?
