Why does T34 can't shoot a Tiger anymore
« on: March 20, 2007, 03:47:54 PM »
I probably missed the info on when this was changed but how come we can no longer shoot down Tigers with a T34?  Even if it would take a few shots compare to a sweet spot shot, it would be nice to be able to battle it out. If the Tigers were able to be taken out be machine guns and cannons when shot from the back, why can't we do it in a tank? Thanks

T-34 can never, and has never, ever, been able to take out a tiger tank, in this game.

You can test this out offline against the tigr drone. I unloaded 75 AP rounds into the drone once, back when T-34 came out, and never had one hit do damage.

No offense here Krusty....  But according to stats the T34 has a whopping 28 kills or so on a Tiger (compared to dying 1379 times from a Tiger) for this tour.
Going back to December there has been about 120 kills or so by T34's hitting Tigers.  BUT.... there has also been about 4000+ deaths of T34's from those Tigers.  :D

BTW:  Tigers only have one sweet spot.... a 4k bunker buster from a Lanc.  :t

And that means nothing. Tracks absorb damage. So multiple shots by a T-34 in the track add up. All it then takes is a panzer or egg to penetrate armor and the T-34 is awarded the kill.

Kind of silly if you ask me when a T-34 can't take out a Tiger but a Jeep can.

The only T-34 kills earned on tigrs are stolen kills. Ones where they hit the tank, and it registered a hit, but didn't do squat.

Same way a hurri1 can go around spraying a tank with a few hundred .303 rounds. Or a 110G with 20mm rounds. When a panzer fires 1 hit, or a jabo drops 1 bomb, they kill it, but the award goes to the guy that sprayed them with no effect.

I guarantee you, Sketch, that not ONE of those T-34s ever EVER ever got a kill-shot on a Tiger. It's just not possible. Go offline and test it out. Spend hours firing from any angle and any range. You will never get a kill on the tigr drone.

Trust me! I tried it for hours on end, back when we first got the GV drones offline.

I never said the kills were fair or done by just them.... just said the stats show there has been kills.... :D

And like I said, I just use an egg... takes less time and effort.
