Under normal game conditions should a Il2 beable to survive a direct shot in the cockpit area from a t34 with AP 400 out? This has been bugging me for 3 weeks now...time to ask the masses.

I would have thought the answer was an obvious No! No plane or pilot should be able to survive a cockpit hit from a T34, even if it IS AP rounds. Im taking this has happened to you, with you being the T34 in question?

Yep I might disclose who the Il2 was *cough bish* I hit him dead on camping the runway saw the ping flash right under his window behind the engine...and off he flew! I wish I had filmed it.

maybe its better you never. The stream of profanity coming from you would have been banned! Lol. Unlucky. Maybe its the same as bullets. Ive often had bullets pass just inches from my nose in the cockpit, just goes straight through, just missing me. If so, darn good shot but just really annoying it missed. Thats the only thing I can think of!

Did his engine leak oil after hit?

nothing at all happend. I believe this is the same Il2 that later that night I unloaded on with all guns from my A8 ( I use the 30mm package ) and didnt lose a piece or even smoke. I know for sure who the tank hit was...cant be sure who the other il2 was.

Just because you saw the hit flash (a single data point mind you) doesn't mean the targets FE recognized the hit. Chances are that little bit of data didnt cross the great divide in a timely manner, because if it did, the IL2 would be dead. Right?......

The other FE does not need to recognize it as a hit.And there is no way the hit can get lost. Ill take a look at the math outcome when I get a chance.

I've popped an IL2 in the nose coming at me while in a panzer using AP , he went by by real quick, now as for side shots I've done that too in a T34 but I always try to aim for center mass, and POP hes dead

really wasnt a great divide I was right off the side of the runway.

they were talking about the divide of the internet. you could be on one side of the world,. and he on the exact opposite for all we know...

but that idea was debunked by HiTech himself so it is irrelevant now.
