Tank vs Tank
« on: April 14, 2008, 04:27:55 PM »
I am wondering if anybody ran into this situation before, I'am in a tank battle firing on a enemy tank I've tracked him and also had three hits on his turret and two on the front armor and I'am in a Tiger and so is he, the enemy Tiger gets one hit on my turret I can't fire now my gun is out, the second hit kills me, in addition we are in a front to front firing battle. This happened a few times at the same spawn point, am I doing something wrong or what.

Bad luck, thats an every day event for me in any tank. I've managed to bounce 5 rounds off a M-8.

Your a bad shot, hes a good shot. Where on the target your shots land count just as much as them landing on the target. For example, the T34, which can usually deflect and take many rounds before going up in flames, can easily be killed in 1 shot in a Panzer if you hit the spot where the front sloping plate meets the bottom of the tank.

IMO the ground game should be free from perks and points.....no cost, no loss, no gain.  There just is not enough fidelity there.

Exact shot placement is important. Especially when attacking Tigers, or fighting T34 vs T34. The armor isn't the same on every location, there are sweet spot that you should try to hit. Not every turret or hull hit is like the other.

Me and a squaddie were sittin about 30ft away from each other in tigers the other night fireing on a single M4 each of us landed at least 4 hits on the guy even after that pounding he fires 1 shot at me i follow the tracer all the way in and i see it hit about 10ft in front of my tank dirt flies up thats how i know he didnt hit me then as soon as the shell hits the ground im in the tower. meanwhile my squaddie lands 2 more hits on this M4 and he takes the squaddies tiger out with 1 shot to front armor. why have a tiger perked if its that easy to kill or is it just the bish tigers that are weak cause them rook M4's seem indestructable.
