broken barrels
« on: February 02, 2012, 01:20:45 AM »
barrels should be able to disable. plenty of pics and stories of tanks hit in barrel. also id like to mention my shoot bomb/bomb load, plane go boom. this happened may times in the war and should be a realistic short cut to blow up an aircraft/ have bomb pilot drop early when attacked

All guns are able to be disabled. Except B-26 tail guns, but that will be fixed when they get updated (unless HTC has a sense of humor)

Oh.... I forgot that you can control tanks, I only strafe/bomb them.  :bolt:

How would this be any different that having your turret disabled?

As for hitting a planes bombload, you want to explode right?  So how is that any different for when you hit a plane...and it explodes?

Hitting a tiny super-hardened round "tube" from any angle? GOOD LUCK!

Chances are almost no hit would ever impact the barrel itself. They round nature would deflect or ricochet the round to exploding anywhere but inside the metal.

I wonder where you ever got such an idea?

There was an episode on greatest tank battles that showed a couple old tanks, guy was describing the battle, one of the tanks took a ricochet that bounced up and took out the barrel.

I'm surprised there's not more people who watch dogfights and want the P51 to be able to instant reverse while flying backwards at 400mph on a 109, or people who think a P51 cockpit should deflect and block 30MM taters from a 262... :)

Looks like a WWI-era tank to me. Or one of those tin cans the Japanese slapped treads on and called a tank.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

     Used to have a Time-Life book that had a picture of a Syrian T-62 with a hole through the barrel at about a 60 degree
angle.  It was supposedly caused by an Israeli 105mm sabot round.  Very impressive.
