How does a 251 survive this?
« on: February 06, 2010, 09:19:20 AM »
I am not one to accuse people of cheating so no names will be mentioned, but this puzzled me. Can someone tell me how a 251 could withstand this hit from a 1000lb bomb  :headscratch:.




I don't think I can drop it any closer than this and yes the bomb exploded (traveled more than 1000').

Well the second pic obviously shows the bomb did not detonate.

I think it detonated.  Notice no crater in the first pic, and in the second, the remainder of the bomb is right in the middle of one.

it did detonate, when you rewind films the craters and explosions sometimes stay.

It's a joke fellas, because it looks like the bomb is stuck in the ground in the pic.


Get it.

This stuff happens, sometimes its someones connection sometimes its a game glitch,most times its not anyone trying to cheat,no need to post this stuff, it happens.
One time i seen someone that was in a t34,but to everyone else it looked like a p51-D,Watching them fire that big gun was funny.

Same reason that sometimes it takes 50 direct rounds to kill a tank. Just inherent flukes of any online game. Folks need to understand and not take it so personal.

I've been hit about that same distance while in a wirble. It has been a couple months ago, but I believe my turrent was still operable. I wasn't complaining, however, the other guy who dive bombed me (i believe flying a 110) might have been.

I thought if I hit registered on your end, the damage would be done, even if the other guy had a crap connection, the "damage" packet will be resent till it gets through   :headscratch:

I watched the video again and all it did was track him, I was able to gun him down and kill him later. It just puzzles me that 4 .50cals and a 20mm can do more damage than a direct 1000lb bomb hit. :headscratch:
