I didn't get a shot on him. He was blown up by AA, it gave me the proxy. It is now listed as a kill. Now go look at my score and you will see that proxy is not listed. I was flying a Hurri II.

BBBB,

LTarget GAVE you proof he didn't just tower out. If he had only taken crippling damage and towered to give Bronk the kill, IT WOULD NOT HAVE SAID ON HIS FILM "You have been killed." I'm VERY rarely in GVs, but even *I* know that if he had towered it would not have said that.

Bronk proved his point: It's possible to single-ping ANY tank AT WILL with the 25's pumpkins, so long as you fire from the right approach angle, at the right part of the tank, from the right range. It's not EASY to do. It takes patience, positioning and timing to get the proper attack run, but it CAN BE DONE.

Period. Finito. End of story. The fat lady has SUNG. What the frell MORE do you want them to do? Send the film to HTC for in-depth analysis?

Think we are all on the same page now.

While not the easiest thing to do. With practice and a bit of a warm up.
One shot killing of tanks can be done and is also quite fun.

Sp0t enjoy your tank busting now. If you figure out the spot where to hit the M-4 for a 1 shot. You best share.

Yes, I saw it for myself and I am happy. I have to man up here and say I am sorry to Bronk for calling him a liar. I never did say it was impossible to kill a Tiger or a tank with the 75MM. I just said it was tough to do. Even Bronks system, while it works is not easy for the novice pilot to pull off. Diving in from 70-80 degrees, nearly straight down, while not over speeding and pulling out before hitting the ground is still tough. However it is possible.

In the end I think we learned the B-25H is not an easy bird to fly like this. It can be done, but I still think there are better choices out there to kill tanks with. Though, I will be trying the dive 'o death on a tiger the next time I see one. That maneuver has be be even harder trying to hit a moving tank. It was good fun last night. I only wish my connection would have held out longer. to Bronk and Lushe who were out there seeing this thing trough.

Panzer 4's barely have 10mm of armor in the rear and top areas of the tank.

a 75mm HE will easily punch through that.

Tracking a tank will help a lot in reducing the dive angle for a turret-vertical shot.
