I tell you what was most suprising about the night in TT was a certain guy in a M4-76 that took 22 rounds from me, 7 from another guy and at lest 6 from another.
I then dropped 5 500lbers that hit within 5 -10 yds of him that didn't even track him. He could one shot ANY tank from ANY angle at ANY range. 
Made for a really nice video for HTC to see  :bolt:

Now i know you guys are gonna say 'ha had sups'... but no one keeps 30+ boxes next to them  :rolleyes:
I think you will find a few posts in other forums about the M4-76 & it's quirks. I know I have issues with them.

It is a game, therefore the term "gamey" is irrelevant.

Valid point.  But when the term "simulation" is thrown into the mix, the term "gamey" is back in play.  Also, when holes in the coding allow for otherwise impossible events to happen, the term "gamey" is right on the money. 

Gaming the game is a sad venture in more ways that one.  Dog-fighting 163's, tank main guns shooting down aircraft, MG's destroying enemy GV's from inside (or M8 vs T34), dive bombing heavy bombers (Stuka-Lancs), etc etc, are all real downers when it comes to those of us who enjoy the simulation feel of the *game*.  If people need to exploit bugs or holes in the coding to get their victory, or take vessels far outside of their typical performance pattern or typical role to get their daily point or ego erection, then so be it.  I feel sorry for them. 

I for one could care less if some banana wants to bring an A20 to a dogfight, I have yet to see one maneuver in any sense other than a gun boat, i.e.: that is the only attribute the A20 can bring.

On that token, please quit the game next time you get killed.

I remember reading somewhere that real p51 pilots would target bullets on the road in front of some German tanks.  The bullets would bounce off the road and go through the light armor on the underside of the tank.

bullets would loose most of its energy when they hit the ground.  that's why there's 100's of stories of soldiers hit on the head with bullets that ricochet and only left a bruise.
