GV vunerability
« on: July 27, 2008, 12:54:01 PM »
Since the introduction of GV's has made such a large impact on game play I would like to see the return of GV vunerability to 20mm and 30mm cannon fire from above (ie planes).

Now some will jump in and claim that its unrealistic and so on and so forth, to them I say well its for game play reasons like alot of other stuff in AH that is not quite real  :lol

As it stands now the typical routine is kill ords so the vehicle crowd is immune to air attack and take base, I say those crawly GV's need danger at every turn and us flyers need more targets (since alot of non flyers have come to AH to drive GV's) :t

Immune to air attack if ord is down? LMAO
I bet this dude strafes the sides of tanks with IL2 and Hurr IID and wonders why it does minimal damage
Theres 4 options when ord is down:
1. Up a GV of your own
2. Up an Il-2, Hurr IID, or B-25H
3. Resupply the ord
4. Come from another field with ord

Having killed _ALOT_ B25s with my T34 main gun id say that most B25 drivers needs a lesson in approach.  :rofl

Best bet is to set the hurr convergance to 400 and practise the top attack. It is way more effective against tanks than the B25.The one exception beeing wirbles and the rare ostwind. I think my record is 11 tanks with one reload in the anti-tank hurricane. I would love to see the Stuka with the anti-tank gun and the HS129.

Im glad it changed. As mentioned above its very easy to take gvs out if you have the ability to fly one of the mentioned planes and point them at the GV while pulling the trigger.

ok heres the scoop on the killing GVs with AC.

Yak9T 37MM two hits to the turret (T-34s you hit in a diffrent spot) two hits to the engine and its dead

Hurri2D just a few hits in the engine its dead just a couple hits in the turret and its out

IL2 few hits to turret or engine and its dead.

190A8 lots of ammo in the engine and you will kill it

110G2 same as 190A8

so dont sit there and say you need better AC cause you just need to learn the ones we have.

Most of the time when a base is under attack the VH is the first target... since the WW...

Nice try, though.

Fact is tank missions dont work if planes start to up(even without ords) tanks need air cover to be real effective and this makes for some of the best fights in the game in my opinion

Do you know how many planes carry ecleast 1 20mm,giving them all the power to kill tanks would be very unhistorical and just plain stupid. There's alot of tank killers already,b25,il2,hurri2D,yakT are all very effective.
