indestructible Tiger
« on: September 23, 2010, 09:55:32 AM »
Recently i have had several occurances with a seemingly indestructable tiger tank. I dropped 3, 1000lb bombs scoring direct hits, ( the tank was actually sitting in the crater). Shortly after this occured i engaged a tiger with a single 500lb bomb (not the same tank) and destroyed it imediately. i was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else or if bomb release angle has any effect. Any and all feedback on this matter would be greatly appreciated. thnx....

Lag maybe? I don't play this game online, but similar things happen on other games.

Filming it will usually help answer questions, you can post a link to the film here and that will make it easier to help.

What altitude?

You need 1000 feet of travel for the bomb to arm.

Plus it was a direct hit on your front end's graphics....... Perhaps not on  the other end of things.  Just trying to figure it out........ 

But the Tiger is not that way, I lost 3 of them yesterday.   :cry

I seems there are different batches of Tiggers ( ;)) around. Some pop when you look at them and some eat Cookies for lunch...  :D

A 1000lb mass should destroy the Tiger. Someone else can do the energy calculation.

No offense to the OP, but a direct hit on the Tiger with a 250lb bomb will take it out.  I've yet to do it with a 100lb bomb, so that I can not say either way. 

I'd be willing to bet the "direct hits" were not so, or there was drastic lag.

When I up a Tiger it tends to die very quickly.

GV destruction doesn't really go by anything accurate when it comes to bombs, merely a game-play balance so tanks stand some chance against the swarms of bomb laden planes.

What are you scratching your head for. The bomb would slice through the steel of the Tiger like a hot knife through butter.

You do realize he is taking about distance traveled and not explosive energy........  Right?

And you do realize that what he's saying is that even if the bomb doesn't travel far enough to arm it should kill the Tiger with kinetic energy alone.... right?

Yeah, I was in a similar situation one time. We had like 4-5 guys dropping bombs left and right all over this tiger, I come in with my A20 with one 500lber, direct hit, I get the kill. Was kinda funny cause there were guys dropping bigger bombs all over him.
