37mm (yakT) Vs M3
« on: June 22, 2010, 07:49:22 PM »
Not sure if this is only subject to this plane/round but I cannot kill an M3 with these rounds.....I can get a kill on them with 20's easily enough but lately I have found the M3 especially staunch...now I know a round can pass through but I have nailed M3's with 2,3,4 rounds and nothing...I'm sure I have film which I can put up when I get home...not 100% but if not I can easily recreate the problem  and post...either way I will submit film...

In the interim...Am I the only one or is this noted by others?

I landed 4x 37mm hits directly on a B-25 taking off once, and despite a hit on the cockpit and a direct hit to the engine, the only visible damage was an oil leak (engine still running).

It's possible the 37mm is off, but I think more than likely there are bugs in the damage models where things don't react properly when hit. Look at the long-standing dud 30mm bug where the cowl guns would soak up tons of damage without spreading it any further. They just fixed that. There might be more.

I have found at times the AR-234 seems to suck up a lot of damage I have hit them with soft guns several times & nothing. Other times one round from the soft gun & they are gone?
