believe it or not, i few very well placed(or VERY lucky)rounds can track a T34....i've done it in EW against the soars.....and actually did enough damage to em that when one of my squaddies in GV's killed them, i got the kills....the best luck i've had that way is a side shot, and i've had no luck at all once they're into the towns or amongst trees(sherwood forrest). i'm not good at this, but i figured i'd mention it to ya....

If you pump bullets at a GV then someone who can actually kill it comes along and does so you get the kill simply because you put more rounds into him, not because you actually did any damage.

[EDIT]  You can track a heavy GV or kill the engine with bullets but you can't kill it.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Some of the best fun is to be had when joining a big GV offensive. Particularly when the opposition ups GVs to oppose. Great fun.

i understand i can't kill it........the point i was making is that i can help the GV guys though.....once tracked, it's easy for them to go around his top side where he can't get his gun on them to return fire.......i already knew the killswere due to the GV's killin him......:aok
i also think i did a good job of....uumm.......really seriously completely agitating him:rofl

KI61 guns are cowl mounted, so the 20mm is concentrated into a smaller area.
Im not sure in 84s are cowl mounted also, i dint thnik they are and am too lazy to check.
