New M4's are somewhat strong

[Kenne]

It's based on the table about 1/4 of the way down this page under the heading "Penetration Table 02: Sherman A2, Sherman A4."

Keep in mind thickness is not the only factor in armor penetration.

that just proves, that from 1km..BOTH the amer sherms should not be able TO DENT a Tiger!

...'kay.

I would like to point out that I've been killed by T-34's by one shot in the new M4's, and they have the second weakest gun in the game.

And I've killed one in one shot from a 75mm sherman at 1200yds. There is nothing wrong with the new tanks.

nemesis, pyro already said a few times that the M4s are being patched and the tiger is also being patched for the next version

[Nemisis]

lol, missed that  . Either way, if I can take out an M4A3(76)w with one shot from a 75mm sherman to the front, then there is no way its the tank itself. That or I'm just insanely lucky.


BTW, I've had crappy luck lately. Ever damn time I up a tank, I run into Dr7, Rondar, or SHawk and his buddies.

hey well once you join the ranks of the 88 shootin M4s 7 times with no effect then you can hollar today i went up against an M4 76 with a pnzr and shot it 9 times to no avail (add 4 turret pings to the 9 hit sprites)

[Nemisis]

Well depending on the range, thats not unheard of. I shot a T-34 with a panzer at 3200yds with little effect untill I got a lucky kill on the driver (I assume). And the M4 has the same frontal armor as a T-34.

aka wait for patch. 3200 yards? thats kind of a long distance

[Nemisis]

Yes, but I'm a decent shot at long range. Personaly, I think of 0-1000yds as close range, 1000-2100 as med range, and 2100+ as long range.

3200 yards is almost 2 miles away nemesis...you cant even see an enemy tank that far out let alone hit it unless by sheer luck you can aim a shot that far you probably wouldnt even see the shot land

[Belial]

This new tank m4a3-76 is harder to kill than a firefly?  Arent they the same chassis and thus prolly the same modeling?


I would figure this is so but, the thing is OFF.

I took out a firefly today and hit it in the front armor 6 times at 2800 and i walked the rounds from the turret meeting place down to the chin.

I found no weak spot with all 6 shots.

The shot that actually killed it was a turret shot, which was my 7th shot and luckily didn't bounce.

Thats just my 2-cents

3200 yards is the bottom tick on the tank sight. If you can't see a tank at that range in Aces High, there's something wrong. I've seen one of my buddies sit in a Panzer and kill things at over 5k yards.

The new patch should have fixed the shermans now

You can see the shot land and you can see the tank. You almost HAVE to use rises to see the tanks, except on the beaches, but what you can see you can hit. I've killed a panzer with a tiger at 4000 yds, and it only took me 5 shots. The lucky thing is it took me fewer than 40, not that I made the kill. I don't claim to be the best gunner, but I'm one of the better ones.

I have killshot myself on a friendly outside icon range...
