m8
« on: March 14, 2008, 08:42:54 AM »
i dont know what the deal is with the m8s and me but while i was in a sherman(btw this was way the other day and i dont have a film) an m8 came strolling by me, i fired and hit this guy twice, once in the engine and in the mid section at point blank range, probably 200 feet away, so i fired a third time at his mid section and it finaly killed him. then i hoped in a m8 myself and ran out there and met the m8 again, i fired one time into the mid section of the enemy m8 and it killed him????

the sherman has a 76 mm cannon and the m8 has a 37 mm cannon??? the shermans gun is 39 mm bigger than the m8s gun and it takes 3 shots to kill a m8 ?

i cant see the problem here can yall help me?

For what ever reason, I have found point blank hits to less damage.  I went after a T-34 on the base I spawned at and nailed him 3 times before he went boom. 

I guess it also depends on where you hit em...

i think a single shot from a sherman 17ib should kill him one shot he or not

Congrats, you just put an 80mm vent in the side of his armored car. Comfy. :D

for me HE rounds bounce off at point blank and if they do hit solid, it says invalid componant  :(
