I dont know.....one thousand hits of .50 BMG rounds from above might disable a Sherman...wouldnt destroy it without a damned luck few rounds but it would surely cause some form of trouble.  In real world application.

Yep. Unfortunately, Aces High uses an all-or-naught penetration scheme; you can't bore a tiny hole through armor with a few thousand small-arms rounds like you could in real life. A tank with a few thousand rounds bounced off it is the same as one that's just spawned.

I have shot 1/2" steel plate w/ my 30-06 and gone through it. So can a .50cal go through ? Multiple hits in same area..I dont see why not..

I've killed a Panzer IV with a Yak 9T.

Ah good, I'm not crazy then

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

50's taking out tracks?   Absolutely.

I thought the AH damage model was damage accumulative?

Yea, it is hard to say if that P-51's .50 cal, rockets or bomb did that or that colt .45.

9T uses the same NS-37 as the IL-2 does, with one difference, IL-2 has a second one

It is when damage actually occurs. Each round that pierces does deal "stacking" damage to the internals of the tank (generally the crew), but armor is not yet a damage-able component in the game.

9T uses the same NS-37 as the IL-2 does, with one difference, IL-2 has a second one 

And the 9T fires exclusively HE ammunition.

.50 cals will not take out a tank turret but it will easily take out the turret on either of the flak panzies.

ack-ack

This i seem to know all to well 

3 or 4 well placed rounds from the hurri d2 or the il2 wil send even a tiger to the tower real quick but most of us are not good at leveling a clean shot in a dive.

personaly i think i try real hard and when i am successful it is just luck.

This proves that more is always beter

One difference? See my post above. Please repeat my tests and post the results if they are different from mine.

Il2 15-30 hits: Tiger gone, or smoking. Each time, each run.
Yak 60-90 hits: Tiger not scratched, even when doing attack after attack...

I'm pretty sure I filmed the Panzer death. I will look.

Load up that Il-2 and set your convergence to 200.  Come in at a high angle, preferably to the rear.  Start firing when you cross about 300 and pull out at 200.  You will bust em up.  Like clubbing baby seals!
