This is actually going to be a smorgasbord of whining.
Part 1-
Panzers are still 'broken'. It is possible, nay, plausible- to engage them with a .50 equipped plane and detrack it. It is possible, if not plausible, to kill a panzer with the single .50 on the M3 or the quad .50s on the M16. Again, detracking will happen within the first 5 rounds that land, I think this should be looked into.
One thing I still don't quite understand is how effective the Hispano cannon are against the Panzer. I had a Tiffie strafe me with about a 1 second burst and I blew up. It usually takes a Spitfire 2 or 3 passes, but they can strafe a Panzer with 2 Hispanos and kill it. On the other hand, the Mg151 20mm in the FW190A8 seem to have little or no effect on ANY GV's. I put about 200 rounds into an M3 with no apparent damage (a tank later shot him with a cannon and I got the kill), and I dropped about another 300-350 on a Panzer with no apparent damage, again I got the kill when a friendly tank hit him with the cannon. I strafed an Ostwind today in a P-51 (I started shooting at 1200, stopped at 800 and broke off), and with the 100 or so total rounds fired, enough hit to knock out either the engine or the gun, as black smoke poured up from him before he exited the vehicle. I've been in a Panzer on numerous occasions and had La7s try to strafe me, they will run out of ammunition and not even detrack the tank. Needless to say, although I'm quite happy to see an La7 try to strafe me now, I think the effectiveness of the German and Russian cannons need to be looked at against ground vehicles (or perhaps the effectiveness of .50 and Hispano rounds needs to be looked into).
Part 2-
I have found a vehicle that I think it more 'broken' than the Panzer. It is the PT boat. Today I decided to try to up a PT boat to fight the LVT's that were coming from a enemy fleet sitting off one of our bases. This was a mistake. I was sitting perhaps 200 yards from an LVT2 when I spawned, I opened up on him and EMPTIED all of the .50 caliber ammo on the boat into him. He started smoking. I ran out of .50 ammo, so I hopped into the 20mm cannon. I emptied that into him as well, no apparent damage. I hopped over into the 37mm cannon and hit him perhaps 15-20 times with it, no apparent damage. He then opened up on ME with either the pintle-mounted .50 caliber or the hull-mounted .30 caliber, and proceeded to sink me in about 5 seconds.
I turned film on and kept respawning, final score was Urchin in the PTboat 1, LVTs 8.
I know that the PT boat was not a very rugged ship. However, I do believe it could have withstood more damage than an LVT, which apparently is not the case in Aces High. Could you please look into the durability of the PT boat, and perhaps the effectiveness of its weapons. Also, please look into the armor on the LVT (although I will say I've strafed them with the Mg151 20mm and they DO die).
