Shooting Through Tanks
« on: July 18, 2010, 12:00:09 AM »
I don't GV much, so I'm putting this in Help because there might be an explanation for this.

What's going on here?



Here is the film:

Do AP shells have the ability to go through a turret?  I was in a T-34 if that matters.  Does that do damage?  Is this just a lag issue? I didn't think it would be because we were both sitting stationary.

-Thanks

Hummm...that would be the M4-DLS.  The gun is replaced by a double light sabre...I think this was tried during the battles in the hedgerows but lost favor in the more open country after Patton's breakout.  Also known as the Darth Firefly.



Seriously, it just looks like probably a graphics glitch.  There is a hit sprite at the point of impact so you did some damage but the round appears to travel completely through the turret and impact on the ground behind it.  An actual penetration like that would have disabled the target.  You may want to post this in the bugs forum.

I see more and more unusual stuff, especially after we went to the new version.  I can't wait to see what we could get with this next version they are about to Ack Ack us with!!

Yep, his turret should be out if any damage WAS recorded.. Oh yeah, but the damage issue was fixed... remember??    :aok As I'm told time and time again online anyway.  :rofl I see it all the time along with rounds going through the bulk of the tank as well.. Gotta love the dweeb4 as I now refer to them as, but if you cant beat them... join them..  :aok

I think it was explained awhile back that this was a graphical glitch.  You can see the same things when GVs are firing at the building in the town.  If you fly above and look down, you'll see the rounds going completely through the houses and you'll see the same thing if you look at a tank vs. tank.

I agree.. OTHER friendlies rounds go through objects, gvs, and planes.You also don't see there recorded hits, only yours. However this was his round and that aside how do you explain a clear cut turret shot leaving his turret fully operational regardless of WHO shot it?  :huh
