main gun and do no damage! This is BS! He must be a **insertCwordhere*!
Every day we can read such things on the various ingame textchannels.
However, things are not always how they do appear. A perfect example happened to me yesterday:
I was defending a vehicle field against enemy tanks. I spotted a Panzer, rolled into position and fired away.
I was quickly able to score hits at D1400:
(The small size of that picture is due to the film viewer limitations. In game, the zoom in gunners position is far more effective, and I could clearly see the hit splash on his hull)
But even after 5 consecutive hit that panzer was still able to fight and finally sent me back to the tower.
I thought "Wtf?". But luckily I have the habit of recording almost combat I have.
When reviewing the film, I found the following:
(external view centered on enemy tank)
The hit sprites originated from a hedgerow behind that panzer. Due to a game glitch (or feature?
) the sprite was shown so large and in front of that Panzer, that it only seemed that the panzer was hit. During combat, it was absolute impossible to realize that in fact the Panzer was not hit at all.
Conclusion? Perception and game reality do not always match. Be careful with all that cheating allegations
