Panther's Gun change?
« on: July 28, 2011, 11:57:42 AM »
Hooter and I are noticing a difference in the shots from a Panther - before it would fly straight as an arrow with no drop off, now all sudden at 1600 its lobbing rounds, was there a change in the latest Patch?

I did test & record tank gun ballistics a few days ago (shell drop over 500-2000yds), and just compared the Panther to my findings back then. Results are identical, so nothing seems to have changed.

I put 30+ AP rounds down range last in a Panther, I didnt notice a difference either.

Well this comes from Hooter, whose very well into tanking and it made me wonder, because I never recalled seeing the Panther lob shells, maybe Hooter is going nuts lol.

I only say this without proof because I take Hooters words for it over anything unless I see actual proof it wasn't changed  :old:

What kind of proof would be enough? Two tables from two different tests (before&after) with the same data?

Wonder what happens if his Pie graphs fail to load, or excel crashes?
