1 bomb wonders
« on: March 21, 2006, 09:08:47 PM »
come on already when will a tiger be taken up and have some reliability against the 1 bomb wonder,  or the low level 400-500 off the deck bomber that lobs a bomb.  I'm not talking about getting directly hit either.  Too many times certain players always seem to magically kill and in return can't be killed.  Something must be up and skill has nothing to do with it.  This just ain't right at all.

Oh, COME ON!

The tiger is practically indestructable anyhow, and now you want it even harder?

Sunday night I sat right in the middle of an enemy base shooting up buildings (VH was down)... 3 aircraft augered trying to kill me, I lit one up with the pintle and he ran away smoking... Dropped about 3 hangers... Two of the AA guns were beating on me and only managed to knock the treads off.

The VH came up and I killed 1 panzer and then... FINALLY this 'one bomb wonder' killed me.  20 minutes I sat there under constant attack from the AA, and guys throwing bombs at me... with no treads at a dead stop.

Tigers are plenty tough.

Check my Vehicle score, its all there, I hardly drive vehicles anyhow, so its easy to see how it went.

If you are on MG position in Tiger when bomb hits, die eassy. Always go to position 1 inside and keep moving, if you hear bombs coming,
 Tigers have a soft spot; tracks.  
 2 passes of concentrate cannon fire in IL2,on the same track  disable the tiger,

Unless it's changed in the past month or two, 5 good shots to the top from good angles from a HurriD will kill one.

This is something I didn't know -- your position in the tank affects how easily you are killed?  Does this mean you should always avoid gunning at those divebomers with the pintle gun?

If position in the tank matters, then does that mean if I am in a turret and my turret is hit, I am more likely to die than just have the gun disabled?  Or if I am driving, a hull hit will kill rather than hit the engine?

Welcome to the wonderful world of GVing. You obviously did not read En4cer's 10 Risk Rules of GVing.

Rule #2: Expect to die in a Tiger Tank at the hands of the enemy via a single bomb drop.

If you accept this, your feelings of frustration, anger, and let down will be far less as will the desire to explode your joystick against the wall.

  was a discussion about this on BB last year, some guys said, the bomb kills the driver unprotected by armor in MG position,  like in airplane pilot killed in healthy plane,
  Im my experince in Tiger that must be true, seems to be modeled like that, i take much more bombs b4 die in "inside armor",position

I kill tigers almost daily with an 500kg bomb from a d9. Thats 1100 pounds. I think 1100 pounds of explosives would kill any armoured vehicle.
