I see my old thread has been resurrected. Our new poster must have been referring to this
Panzer's were useless before, if there was an IL-2 driver around that knew what he was doing.
but missed the point about 23mm IL-2 cannon on panzer's.
Anyways HTC has made a bad boy outta me. Had my fourth "cheater" PM just the other day. The
IRONIC thing is this guy makes whels look like a newbie when comparing 5 inch gunnery. His consistant long range hit rate is eye brow raising. He's had kills on my bombers before the CV's auto puffy ack has fired
Since the new
37mm's were made optional I have a few observations to share. Putting aside my stick scaling haxor program that initiated this thread
10 direct hits will explode a panzer. This is the weakest vehicle and in ascending order of hardness
panzer
ostie
wirlie
new t34
m4
old t34
Turreted ostie / wirlie
tiger.
One needs a precise aim and to hold the hit strikes relatively in the same place. Frontal attacks on everything except panzer chassis vehicles is a waist of ammo. Side attacks are likely to track the vehicle but a steep attack is very likely to turret or disable the engine. As the hardness of the vehicle increases so does the amount of rounds needed to acquire the kill.
There you go.......trade secret out in the public domain.
I challenge anyone of my victims to send their film to HTC. I welcome HTC & Co to scan any film I have or films from victims. I also welcome any ONLINE inspection of my AH files,
if indeed they can actually do that. They are quite welcome to do this at any time unannounced and unbeknown to me.
Folks shouldn't be so quick to accuse especially if they don't have the knowledge is make an accurate assessment.
