A pony took out my turret?

[Clone155]

I went AFK for about 10 minutes, and when I come back I find I died, so I saved the film to see what killed me. Looking at the film, I find a P-51D strafe my M4 and take out my turret? Is this even possible?

I didn't think you could do it with .50s against a sherman.

Rocket or Bomb?

It sure shouldn't be.

I think we would like to see that film too.

I don't believe a P51 can do that with .50 cals alone.

.50 cal itself is meant for light armor. I don't see why 4-6 of them, with the added energy of being mounted on a vehicle diving at approx 400mph would NOT be capable of damaging an exposed barrel rendering it useless.

also i think the armor was designed for low angle shots from other tanks. coming in high angle it may have only had an inch worth of armor.

If you could put a concentrated stream in the top hatch I think that would be possible.

Obviously Mustangs and Thunderbolts strafing armor in WW2 were just waisting their time and risking their lives for nothing.

He did not have any bombs or rockets, but he did come in from a high angle. I'll try and figure out how to post the vid.

There is no way a P-51 can kill you with just .50 cals.  i put all eight of my .50 cals from a P-47 on the M4 and no results.  I bet he kill you with a bomb or rockets.

Clone posted a copy of the film in the help section.  He was having a problem so he went there for help.  I checked it out and he's right.  It was just a pony with .50 cal rounds.  No bombs or rockets were loaded on the pony.  Very strange indeed.

[Scherf]

Dude prolly bounced the rounds off the road, up into the belly of the tank then through into the turret.


Happened alla time IRL. I heard it on the intardnets.

Here is the video. Said pony does the deed near the end.
